【摘要】 以大学生为被试作了两个实验 ,研究群际情境下向上社会比较信息对自我评价的影响。实验 1的结果表明 ,对于多数派群体的成员来说 ,来自内群体的向上社会比较信息会提高其自我评价 ,即产生同化效应 ,而来自外群体的向上社会比较信息会降低其自我评价 ,即产生对比效应 ;对于少数派群体的成员来说 ,无论向上社会比较信息来自内群体还是外群体 ,都对其自我评价几乎不产生影响。实验 2表明 ,多数派群体成员在自我评价上的内群体同化效应依赖于群际对比更多还原

【Abstract】 Two experiments were conducted to research the effects of upward social comparison information on self-evaluation with college students as subjects.The results of Experiment 1 showed that,for majority group members,upward social comparison information from ingroup resulted in promoted self-evaluation,which is called “assimilation effect”,while the same information from outgroup resulted in lowered self-evaluation,which is called “ contrast effect”; for minority group members,the information either from ingroup or from outgroup had no effects on their self-evaluation.The results of Experiment 2 showed that the ingroup assimilation effect in majority group members’ self-evaluation was dependent on intergroup contrast.更多还原
