Abstract:
UNASSIGNED: While adversity can bring great challenges to individuals\' life and work, many people also find ways to make positive changes and adapt to these difficult circumstances. Individuals tend to make social comparisons more frequently and intensely when faced with adversity or high stress. The study attempts to examine the influence mechanism of downward social comparison on individual adversarial growth.
UNASSIGNED: By collecting data from 353 Chinese who have experienced adversities in the past 3 years, the study validates the dual mediating model of gratitude and self-acceptance and explores the moderating effect of interpersonal sensitivity.
UNASSIGNED: The findings indicate that: downward social comparison can increase the occurrence of adversarial growth by enhancing individuals\' self-acceptance and gratitude. Compared to individuals with low interpersonal sensitivity, individuals with high interpersonal sensitivity are more likely to facilitate the occurrence of adversarial growth through self-acceptance and gratitude due to downward social comparison.
UNASSIGNED: In the face of adversity, individuals can regain self-confidence and respond positively by comparing themselves to people in worse situations than themselves. In particular, individuals with higher interpersonal sensitivity are more likely to benefit from downward social comparisons and grow from adversity.
摘要:
虽然逆境会给个人的生活和工作带来巨大的挑战,许多人也想办法做出积极的改变,适应这些困难的情况。当面临逆境或高压力时,个人倾向于更频繁和强烈地进行社会比较。该研究试图检验向下社会比较对个体对抗性增长的影响机制。
通过收集353名在过去3年中经历过逆境的中国人的数据,该研究验证了感恩和自我接纳的双重中介模型,并探讨了人际敏感性的调节作用。
研究结果表明:向下的社会比较可以通过增强个人的自我接纳和感恩来增加对抗性成长的发生。与人际关系敏感度低的人相比,具有高人际关系敏感性的个体由于向下的社会比较,更有可能通过自我接纳和感恩来促进对抗性成长的发生。
面对逆境,个人可以通过将自己与处境比自己更糟的人进行比较来恢复自信并做出积极的反应。特别是,人际关系敏感度较高的人更有可能从向下的社会比较中受益,并从逆境中成长。
