项目摘要
DESCRIPTION (provided by investigator): The proposed research begins with the hypothesis that the importance of self-esteem lies not just in whether it is high or low (i.e., level of self-esteem), but also in people's preoccupation with seeking self-esteem - pursuing the goal to validate the self in domains of self-worth contingency. In the short term, successful pursuit of self-esteem relieves anxiety and increases feelings of safety, security, and superiority. These benefits, however, are short-lived and may come at a high price to the self and to others. The proposed studies explore the following hypotheses 1) threats in domains of contingent self-worth trigger the goal of self-validation, which in turn triggers reactions (thoughts, emotions, and behaviors) that undermine learning, autonomy, and relatedness, and self-regulation; 2) these reactions threats in domains of contingent self-worth trigger self-validation goals in others; 3) learning goals (in which performance outcomes are viewed as a means to learning), and goals that include what is good for the other as well as the self can undo or diminish the effects of threats in domains of contingent self-worth on learning, relatedness, autonomy, and self-regulation; 4) over time, self-validation goals trigger by actual or anticipated threats in domains of self-worth contingency undermine mental health, leading to increases in symptoms of depression, anxiety, disordered eating, and narcissism. Seventeen laboratory experiments examine the effects of actual and anticipated threats in domains of contingent self-worth on self-validation goals and thoughts, emotions, and behavior. Two daily report studies examine how threats in domains of self-worth affect self-validation goals and learning, relatedness, autonomy, and self-regulation in daily life, and also examine in students at risk (mildly depressed, anxious, eating disordered, and narcissistic students) whether threats in domains of contingent self-worth lead to a spiraling of symptoms over time. A 4-year longitudinal survey examines the long-term costs of self-validation goals in domains of contingent self-worth for the mental health of college students. This research has the potential to transform our understanding of the importance of self-esteem in daily life, and for mental health; if the predictions are confirmed, it will show that the importance of self-esteem lies not (only) in whether we have it or not, but in how the pursuit of self-esteem, by attempting to prove our worth and value in domains of contingency, undermines the fundamental human needs for learning, relatedness, autonomy and self-regulation, and ultimately mental health.
描述(由研究者提供):这项拟议的研究始于一个假设,即自尊的重要性不仅在于它是高还是低(即,自尊水平),但也在人们的关注寻求自尊-追求的目标,以验证自我领域的自我价值的偶然性。在短期内,成功地追求自尊可以缓解焦虑,增加安全感,安全感和优越感。然而,这些好处是短暂的,可能会给自己和他人带来高昂的代价。本研究主要探讨以下假设:1)偶然性自我价值感领域的威胁触发了自我确认的目标,而自我确认的目标又触发了反应(思想,情绪和行为),破坏学习,自主性,相关性和自我调节; 2)这些反应威胁领域的应急自我价值触发自我验证目标在他人;(3)学习目标(其中绩效结果被视为学习的一种手段),包括对他人和自我都有好处的目标可以消除或减少在学习,相关性,自主性和自我调节的偶然自我价值领域中的威胁的影响; 4)随着时间的推移,由自我价值领域的实际或预期威胁触发的自我验证目标会破坏心理健康,导致抑郁,焦虑,饮食失调和自恋症状的增加。17个实验室实验研究了实际和预期的威胁领域的应急自我价值的自我验证的目标和思想,情绪和行为的影响。两项每日报告研究考察了自我价值领域的威胁如何影响日常生活中的自我确认目标和学习,相关性,自主性和自我调节,并研究了处于风险中的学生(轻度抑郁,焦虑,饮食失调和自恋的学生)是否在偶然自我价值领域的威胁会导致症状随着时间的推移而螺旋上升。一项为期4年的纵向调查研究了大学生在偶然自我价值感领域的自我验证目标对心理健康的长期成本。这项研究有可能改变我们对自尊在日常生活和心理健康中的重要性的理解;如果这些预测得到证实,它将表明自尊的重要性不仅在于我们是否拥有它,而且在于追求自尊如何通过试图证明我们在偶然性领域的价值和价值,破坏了人类对学习的基本需求,相关性,自主性和自我调节,最终是心理健康。
