SELF-REGULATORY RESOURCES AND INTERPERSONAL FUNCTIONING

改变自己的潜力和与他人交往的能力是自我的两个核心方面。尽管它们很重要，但研究人员还没有研究这两个过程之间的联系。自我调节的资源模型假定自我调节的能力是由有限的资源支配的，而有限的资源会因自我调节的需求而耗尽。拟议中的研究探讨了人际功能和自我调节资源与陌生人，新相识，朋友和亲密关系伙伴之间的联系。提出了两个项目：项目1研究自我调节耗竭对人际功能的影响。这四项研究的预期结果将证明，例如，压倒性的冲动或做出一系列选择会对人际关系产生负面影响。项目2研究人际过程如何影响自我调节能力。这五项研究的预期结果将表明，人际交往过程消耗了调节能量，使人们更难进行自我控制。鉴于人们每天都在进行无数的自我调节反应，这项研究对社会人际功能的下降状态具有重要意义（例如，离婚、人际暴力）。

The potential to change oneself and the ability to relate to others are two central facets of the self. Despite their importance, researchers have not investigated the link between these two processes. The resource model of self-regulation posits that the ability to self-regulate is governed by a limited resource that can be depleted by self-regulatory demands. The proposed studies examine the link between interpersonal functioning and self-regulatory resources with strangers, new acquaintances, friends, and intimate relationship partners. Two projects are proposed: Project 1 examines the effect of self-regulatory depletion on interpersonal functioning. The expected results of these four studies will demonstrate that, for example, overriding impulses or making a series of choices can negatively affect interpersonal relationships. Project 2 examines how interpersonal processes affect ability to self-regulate. The expected results from these five studies will demonstrate that interpersonal processes consume regulatory energy, leaving people less able to engage in self-control. Given that people engage in myriad self-regulatory responses every day, this research has important implications for the declining state of society's interpersonal functioning (e.g., divorce, interpersonal violence).
