自我肯定对不同焦虑程度状态的缓冲作用研究
A Study on the Buffering Effect of Self-Affirmation on States of Different Anxiety Levels
摘要: 为探究自我肯定对不同焦虑程度个体的缓冲作用及效果差异,采用2 (干预:自我肯定/无干预) × 3 (焦虑程度:正常/轻度/中度)被试间实验设计,以60名大学生为研究对象,运用焦虑自评量表(SAS)和标准化自我价值干预程序开展实验。结果显示:自我肯定干预组被试后测焦虑得分显著低于前测(p < 0.01),无干预控制组得分无显著变化;自我肯定对正常焦虑状态的缓冲效果显著弱于轻度、中度焦虑状态(p < 0.05),对中度焦虑状态的缓冲效果最优(p < 0.05)。结论:自我肯定可有效缓冲个体焦虑状态,且缓冲效果随焦虑程度提升呈现增强趋势,对中度焦虑个体的干预效果最为显著。
Abstract: To explore the buffering effect of self-affirmation on individuals with different levels of anxiety and the differences in effectiveness, a 2 (intervention: self-affirmation/no intervention) × 3 (anxiety level: normal/mild/moderate) between-subject experimental design was adopted. Sixty college students were selected as research participants, and the experiment was conducted using the Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS) and a standardized self-worth intervention program. The results showed that the post-test anxiety scores of participants in the self-affirmation intervention group were significantly lower than the pre-test scores (p < 0.01), while the scores of the no-intervention control group did not change significantly. The buffering effect of self-affirmation on normal anxiety status was significantly weaker than that on mild and moderate anxiety statuses (p < 0.05), with the best buffering effect observed in the moderate anxiety group (p < 0.05). In conclusion, self-affirmation can effectively buffer individual anxiety states, and the buffering effect tends to increase with the level of anxiety, showing the most significant intervention effect for individuals with moderate anxiety.
