Abstract

Research suggests that approach and avoidance-decreasing or increasing self-stimulus distance, respectively-influence self-evaluation. However, this conclusion typically stems from examining approach and avoidance as a pair, while no empirical research has satisfactorily isolated the unique causal contribution of each behaviour. To address this gap, three experiments (N _Total = 1929) used an adapted Manikin Task incorporating a proper control condition (i.e., no distance change) to first isolate the effect of approach, relying on both reaction time and self-report measures. Furthermore, by incorporating avoidance in the last experiment, this task allowed us to oppose model-based theoretical predictions. Results did not reveal any behaviour-specific effects. Nevertheless, the proposed methodology opens new avenues for investigating the behavioural determinants of self-construal.

我接近故我在？隔离特定行为对自我评价的影响。

研究表明，接近和回避——分别减少或增加自我刺激距离——会影响自我评价。然而，这一结论通常源于将接近和回避作为一对进行检查，而没有实证研究令人满意地分离出每种行为的独特因果贡献。为了解决这一差距，三个实验（N Total = 1929）使用了一个改编的假人任务，其中包含适当的控制条件（即没有距离变化），首先分离方法的影响，依赖于反应时间和自我报告测量。此外，通过在最后一个实验中加入回避，这项任务允许我们反对基于模型的理论预测。结果没有显示任何特定行为的影响。然而，所提出的方法为研究自我解释的行为决定因素开辟了新的途径。

期刊介绍： The International Review of Social Psychology (IRSP) is supported by the Association pour la Diffusion de la Recherche Internationale en Psychologie Sociale (A.D.R.I.P.S.). The International Review of Social Psychology publishes empirical research and theoretical notes in all areas of social psychology. Articles are written preferably in English but can also be written in French. The journal was created to reflect research advances in a field where theoretical and fundamental questions inevitably convey social significance and implications. It emphasizes scientific quality of its publications in every area of social psychology. Any kind of research can be considered, as long as the results significantly enhance the understanding of a general social psychological phenomenon and the methodology is appropriate.
