隐藏成功对人际关系的影响:竞争关系的作用
The Influence of Hiding Success on Interpersonal Relationship: The Role of Competitive Relationships
摘要: 隐藏成功是指故意隐瞒关于自己或个人成就的积极信息,它是人们日常交往中常见的自我呈现方式。人们出于家长式动机(基于对他人的最佳利益的假设而帮助他人的意图)而选择隐藏成功,很有可能会带来较为负面的关系后果和情感后果。本研究比较了目标(真被试,了解另一个人的成功的人)对存在竞争关系或非竞争关系的沟通者(即传播他们的成功的人)隐藏成功的反应(包括侮辱感、嫉妒、亲近感、幸福感)。结果表明,(1) 相较于分享成功,沟通者隐藏成功会对人际关系带来更负面的后果。(2) 与沟通者和目标是非竞争关系相比,当沟通者与目标之间存在竞争关系时,隐藏成功会让目标感到更高的嫉妒感、侮辱感,更低的幸福感和亲近感。
Abstract: Hiding success refers to deliberately concealing positive information about oneself or personal achievements, which is a common way of self-presentation in people’s daily communication. People choose to hide success out of paternalistic motivation (the intention to help others based on the assumption of the best interests of others), which is likely to bring more negative relational and emotional consequences. This study compared the responses (including insult, envy, closeness, happiness) of targets (actual participants, people who know the success of another person) to concealment of success from communicators who have competitive or non-competitive relationships (that is, those who spread their success). The results show that: (1) Compared with sharing success, communicators hiding success brings more negative consequences to interpersonal relationships. (2) Compared with the communicator and the target is non-competitive, when there is a competitive relationship between the communicator and the target, hiding success makes the target feel more envious, insulted, less happy and close.
