Abstract

This article advances the debate about costs and benefits of self-enhancement (the tendency to maintain unrealistically positive self-views) with a comprehensive meta-analytic review (299 samples, N = 126,916). The review considers relations between self-enhancement and personal adjustment (life satisfaction, positive affect, negative affect, depression), and between self-enhancement and interpersonal adjustment (informant reports of domain-general social valuation, agency, communion). Self-enhancement was positively related to personal adjustment, and this relation was robust across sex, age, cohort, and culture. Important from a causal perspective, self-enhancement had a positive longitudinal effect on personal adjustment. The relation between self-enhancement and interpersonal adjustment was nuanced. Self-enhancement was positively related to domain-general social valuation at 0, but not long, acquaintance. Communal self-enhancement was positively linked to informant judgments of communion, whereas agentic self-enhancement was linked positively to agency but negatively to communion. Overall, the results suggest that self-enhancement is beneficial for personal adjustment but a mixed blessing for interpersonal adjustment.

自我提升与心理调适:一项元分析回顾。
本文通过全面的元分析综述(299个样本,N = 126,916),推进了关于自我提升(保持不切实际的积极自我观点的倾向)的成本和收益的争论。研究了自我提升与个人适应(生活满意度、积极影响、消极影响、抑郁)以及自我提升与人际适应(领域-一般社会评价、代理、共融)之间的关系。自我提升与个人适应呈正相关,且这种关系在性别、年龄、群体和文化中均显著相关。重要的是,从因果角度来看,自我提升对个人适应有积极的纵向影响。自我提升与人际适应之间的关系是微妙的。自我提升与领域一般社会评价在相识0时呈正相关,但与相识时间不相关。社区自我提升与被调查者对交流的判断呈正相关,而代理自我提升与代理呈正相关,而与交流负相关。总体而言,研究结果表明,自我提升对个人适应有利,但对人际适应则好坏参半。
