调节聚焦理论的产生与发展
The Emergence and Development of Regulatory Focus Theory
摘要: 调节聚焦理论将动机区分为促进聚焦动机和防御聚焦动机，以揭示趋近–回避动机的不同表现方式。作为21世纪动机理论的重大进展，该理论得到研究者的深度关注，相关研究成果已被广泛应用于组织管理、教育教学等各领域。本研究回顾调节聚焦理论产生和发展的理论背景，梳理其发展脉络，阐释其理论内涵，并详细分析促进聚焦动机和防御聚焦动机的在心理表征和手段策略等方面的基本差异。最后，对未来的理论发展和应用前景提出展望。
Abstract: Regulatory focus theory divides motivation into promotion focus motivation and prevention focus motivation to reveal the different manifestations of approach-avoidance motivation. As a significant development of motivation theory in the 21st century, this theory has attracted the attention of researchers deeply, and the relevant research results have been widely used in various fields such as organization management, education and teaching. This study reviews the theoretical background of the emergence and development of regulatory focus theory, combs its development context, explains its theoretical connotation, and analyzes in detail the basic differences in psychological representation and means and strategies between promotion focus motivation and prevention focus motivation. Finally, this essay puts forward the prospect of theoretical development and application in the future.
