Abstract

The purpose of the current work was to study the influence of incongruence of an individual’s goals and situational affordances on the self-representation in everyday situations. In the course of the study, participants (N = 62) first gave a self-assessment of their personality traits, after which they defined relevant goals in six pairs of situational vignettes on the SAAP scale, then selected adjectives from the list describing their state in situations of congruency (CS) and non-congruency (NCS) with their primary goals. Finally, the valence of self-representation in CS and NCS was determined. The results of the study showed that in all six pairs of compared situations there were changes in goals, from complete or partial replacement of goals to important changes in their significance for the respondents. Multiple regression analysis allowed us to conclude that situational determinants as explanatory variables can better explain the manifestations of agreeableness, extraversion, conscientiousness and openness in the NCS, compared to stable traits. However, stable traits explain the manifestations of neuroticism in the NCS better than situational characteristics. The results of the study confirm the assumption that changed goals cause the manifestation of traits and states that differ from stable dispositions. The quantitative analysis of adjectives with positive and negative emotional-evaluative meaning showed that in the NCS respondents were 2.57 times more likely to choose attributes with a negative emotional-evaluative meaning compared to the CS, which confirms the hypothesis of the predominance of negative valence of self-representation in the conditions of goal incongruency. The findings indicate that the change in self-representation in the NCS significantly and in the theoretically expected way were associated with a change in goals as a result of change in situational affordances.
人格自我表征在“目标-支持”不一致和情境机会条件下的变化
本研究旨在研究个体目标与情境支持的不一致性对日常情境下自我表征的影响。在研究过程中,参与者(N = 62)首先对自己的人格特征进行自我评估,然后在SAAP量表的六对情景小短文中定义相关目标,然后从列表中选择形容词来描述他们在与主要目标一致(CS)和不一致(NCS)情况下的状态。最后,测定了CS和NCS的自我表征效价。研究结果表明,在所有六对比较情境中,目标都发生了变化,从目标的完全或部分替代到目标对被调查者的意义发生了重要变化。多元回归分析表明,情境决定因素作为解释变量能够更好地解释NCS中亲和性、外向性、严密性和开放性的表现。然而,稳定特质比情境特质更能解释NCS神经质的表现。研究结果证实了一个假设,即改变的目标会导致不同于稳定性格的特征和状态的表现。对具有积极和消极情绪评价意义的形容词的定量分析表明,NCS中被调查者选择具有消极情绪评价意义的属性的可能性是CS的2.57倍,这证实了目标不一致条件下自我表征的消极效价优势的假设。研究结果表明,NCS自我表征的显著变化和理论预期的方式与情境承受能力变化导致的目标变化有关。
