Research in the information processing about self on social cognition

本研究从三个方面考察了自我知识的信息加工问题。第一个问题是自我如何表征。作为基础研究，考察了启动对面孔再认的影响。接下来，我们考察了情绪和自我关注的关系，以明确抑郁症患者的自我表征。结果表明，在高度自我集中的条件下，消极情绪得以维持。第二个问题是，收集自我信息的方式是如何与自我表征有关的。首先，考察了不同自我表征与信息收集行为的关系。结果表明，现实自我与理想自我之间的差异以及未来罐头自我的相对位置是影响大学生自我认知的重要因素。其次，考察了抑郁与自我信息收集之间的关系。结果表明，抑郁者的信息收集行为会重现抑郁情绪。第三个问题是，自我表征中的影响节点对社会判断和社会行为有何影响。考察了失败经历导致的负性情绪对助人行为工具性认知和助人意图的影响。研究结果表明，在帮助情境与失败情境相同的情况下，无论无关紧要，助人行为的工具性认知和助人意向的认知都会增加。

The present study focused on three problems to examine the information processing of selfknowledge.The first problem is how self is represented. As a fundamental research, the effects of priming on face recoginition were examined. Next, the relations of mood and self-focus were examined to clarify self-representation among depressive persons. Results showed that negative mood was maintained under high self-focus condition.The second problem is how styles to gather information about self are taken in relation to self-representations. First, the relations of various self-representatios and information gathering behaviors were examined. The results showed that discrepancy between real self and ideal self and relative position of future can self were important factors. Next, the relation of depression and information-gathering about self was examined. The results indicated that depressive persons took the information-gathering behavior which would reproduce depression.The third problem is what influences affect-nodes within self-representation have on social judgments and social behavior. The effects of negative mood which was resulted from failure experiences on cognitions of instrumentality of helping behavior and intentions to help were examined. The results showed that cognitions of instrumentality of helping behavior and intentions to help were increased regardless of anonimity if helping situations were the same as failure situations.We discussed structures, formations, and maitanances of self-representations in terms of affect.
