摘要: 目的：探讨民族院校大学生自我扩张与群际接触质量之间的关系，并检验群际接触数量的中介作用以及群体共情在其中的调节作用。方法：采用方便取样法，对673名民族院校大学生施测自我扩张问卷、群际接触量表及群体共情量表。使用SPSS 25.0进行相关分析，并采用PROCESS程序进行有调节的中介模型检验。结果：① 相关分析显示，自我扩张与群际接触数量(r = 0.40, p < 0.001)、质量(r = 0.42, p < 0.001)及认知共情(r = 0.39, p < 0.001)均呈显著正相关。② 有调节的中介模型检验表明：自我扩张能正向预测接触数量(β = 0.29, p < 0.001)与接触质量(β = 0.10, p < 0.001)；接触数量与认知共情的交互项对接触质量具有显著正向调节作用(β = 0.01, p < 0.05)。进一步分析发现，在高认知共情水平下，自我扩张通过接触数量对接触质量的间接效应值(0.089)显著高于低水平(0.056)。结论：自我扩张动机不仅直接预测更高的群际接触质量，还通过增加接触数量产生间接影响，且这一间接效应在高群体共情个体中更为显著。研究结果提示，激发个体成长性动机及提升共情能力对于促进高质量群际接触十分重要。
Abstract: Objective: To explore the relationship between self-expansion and the quality of intergroup contact among college students in ethnic institutions, and to test the mediating role of the number of intergroup contacts and the moderating role of group empathy. Method: Using the convenience sampling method, 673 college students from ethnic institutions were administered the Self-Expansion Questionnaire, the Intergroup Contact Scale, and the Group Empathy Scale. SPSS 25.0 was used for correlation analysis, and the PROCESS program was used to conduct the moderated mediation model test. Results: ① Correlation analysis showed that self-expansion was significantly positively correlated with the number of intergroup contacts (r = 0.40, p < 0.001), the quality of intergroup contact (r = 0.42, p < 0.001), and cognitive empathy (r = 0.39, p < 0.001). ② The moderated mediation model test indicated that self-expansion could positively predict the number of intergroup contacts (β = 0.29, p < 0.001) and the quality of intergroup contact (β = 0.10, p < 0.001); the interaction term between the number of intergroup contacts and cognitive empathy had a significant positive moderating effect on the quality of intergroup contact (β = 0.01, p < 0.05). Further analysis revealed that at a high level of cognitive empathy, the indirect effect value of self-expansion through the number of intergroup contacts on the quality of intergroup contact (0.089) was significantly higher than that at a low level (0.056). Conclusion: The motivational drive of self-expansion not only directly predicts higher quality of intergroup contact, but also has an indirect effect through increasing the number of intergroup contacts, and this indirect effect is more significant in individuals with high group empathy. The research results suggest that stimulating individuals’ growth-oriented motivation and enhancing empathy skills are important for promoting high-quality intergroup contact.
