摘要
先前的研究发现,在个体的自尊受到威胁时更倾向于冒险,但高、低自尊水平者的风险偏好没有显著差异。然而,也有研究发现自尊水平影响人们的风险偏好,特别是中等自尊水平者更冒险。本研究拟在前人研究基础上,采用金钱竞拍任务,系统地探讨自尊威胁条件下不同自尊水平个体的风险偏好,着重检验前人发现的中等自尊效应。研究采用竞拍游戏为决策实验任务,通过指导语和反馈实验分别给予被试自尊威胁,来研究不同自尊水平者在自尊受到威胁的情境下的决策差异。实验一采用指导语给予被试自尊威胁,实验二采用反馈实验给予被试自尊威胁。决策任务均为金钱竞拍游戏。同时为了排除受威胁影响的非自尊而是情绪,在被试被给予自尊威胁后采用PANAS情绪量表进行测验,检验情绪对实验结果的影响。在实验结束后会让被给予自尊威胁的被试填写验证问卷,用来检测被试的自尊是否受到威胁,检验指导语威胁和反馈实验威胁的效用。研究结果表明:风险决策任务中,中等水平自尊者比高、低自尊水平者更冒险;自尊受到威胁的情境下个体更倾向于冒险;自尊威胁情境下,中等水平自尊者比高、低自尊水平者更冒险;情绪对个体风险决策的偏好无显著性影响。该研究的结果支持了之前研究发现的中自尊效应,以及Zhang得出的自尊威胁情境下人们更愿意冒险的结论,并揭示出不同自尊水平者在自尊受到威胁的情境下的决策是有差异的,中等自尊水平者表现出更加愿意冒险的趋势。来自其它任务上的自尊威胁是会迁移影响到此次决策任务的,即反映到现实生活中一个人在一件事情上受到自尊威胁,会影响他在其它事情上的决策。
Previous studies found that individuals were tend to be more risky under the self-esteem threat, but the risk preference of high and low self-esteem did not differ significantly. However, studies found that levels of self-esteem also affect people's risk preference, especially participants with moderate self-esteem were more risky. This study used the monetary auction for the decision making task. We tried to systematically explore participants' risk preferences with different threatened self-esteem levels, and especially examine the effect of moderate self-esteem which on the basis of previous studies. In this study, we adopted the monetary auction for decision making task. We used instructions and feedback experiments for manipulation to give participants self-esteem threat, aimed to find people's risk preferences of self-esteem levels under the self-esteem threat. We conducted the instructions as self-esteem threat in experiment one, and used feedback to give the participants self-esteem threat in experiment two. Decision making tasks were monetary auction games. Meanwhile, in order to exclude the effect by the threat was not self-esteem but mood, the participants were invited to fill the PANAS emotion scales after they were given self-esteem threat. At the end of the experiment, participants were given a manipulation check, utilized to detect the utility of instructions and feedback experiments. The results suggested that:(1) In risk decision tasks, participants with moderate self-esteem had the highest risk preference;(2) Threatened self-esteem would cause decision makers to invest and lose moremoney in monetary auction games;(3) Participants with moderate self-esteem had the highest risk preference under the self-esteem threat;(4) Emotion had no significant effect on risk preferences. Findings supported previous research results which on the effect of moderate self-esteem, and Liqing Zhang concluded that people are more risky in self-esteem threat. It also revealed that the risk preferences of participants with threatened self-esteem levels were different, participants with moderate self-esteem had the highest risk preference. The self-esteem threat from other tasks would have an effect on this decision-making task, namely reflected in real life was people who were threatened by self-esteem on one thing, it would affect his decision making in other things.
