Abstract

This study aimed to explore the effect of differences in face consciousness on Chinese people's cooperative tendencies. We conducted a nine-month longitudinal tracking survey of 787 college students. The prediction effect of the desire to gain face on inclusiveness, reciprocity and gregariousness is stable and consistent across time, while the prediction effect of fear of losing face is not stable and consistent. Prosocial and success-oriented motivation mediated the relationship between the desire to gain face or fear of losing face, and cooperative tendencies; however, the desire to gain face promoted cooperative tendencies by positively predicting prosocial and success-oriented motivation, whereas the fear of losing face inhibited cooperative tendencies by negatively predicting prosocial and success-oriented motivation. Failure-avoidance motivation did not mediate the relationship between the desire to gain face or fear of losing face and cooperative tendencies. These results indicate differences in the predictive mechanisms through which face consciousness affects cooperative tendencies.

不同类型面孔意识对合作倾向的纵向预测效应：亲社会动机和成就动机的中介作用

本研究旨在探讨面子意识差异对中国人合作倾向的影响。我们对787名大学生进行了为期9个月的纵向跟踪调查。面子欲望对包容性、互惠性和群居性的预测效应在时间上是稳定一致的，而丢脸恐惧的预测效应则不稳定一致。亲社会动机和成功导向动机在面子欲望和面子恐惧与合作倾向之间起中介作用；然而，获得面子的欲望通过正向预测亲社会动机和成功动机而促进合作倾向，而丢脸的恐惧通过负向预测亲社会动机和成功动机而抑制合作倾向。失败回避动机并没有调解面子欲望和害怕丢脸与合作倾向之间的关系。这些结果表明，面孔意识影响合作倾向的预测机制存在差异。

期刊介绍： The International Journal of Psychology (IJP) is the journal of the International Union of Psychological Science (IUPsyS) and is published under the auspices of the Union. IJP seeks to support the IUPsyS in fostering the development of international psychological science. It aims to strengthen the dialog within psychology around the world and to facilitate communication among different areas of psychology and among psychologists from different cultural backgrounds. IJP is the outlet for empirical basic and applied studies and for reviews that either (a) incorporate perspectives from different areas or domains within psychology or across different disciplines, (b) test the culture-dependent validity of psychological theories, or (c) integrate literature from different regions in the world.
