Abstract

Although existing studies suggest the relationship between ostracism and ingratiation, the knowledge about why and when ostracism promotes ingratiatory behaviors remains limited. Drawing from identity process theory, the current study examines the influence of ostracism on ingratiatory behaviors through the mediating role of self-identity threat on a daily timescale and the cross-level moderation of core self-evaluation. Through a diary study of 117 Chinese college students across 14 consecutive days, we found that daily ostracism had a positive indirect effect on daily ingratiatory behaviors through daily self-identity threat. Core self-evaluation of students weakened the indirect effect, such that only students with low core self-evaluation engaged in daily ingratiatory behaviors to cope with self-identity threat from ostracism. More importantly, supplemental analyses suggested that averaged daily ingratiatory behaviors were negatively related to perceived ostracism one week later. We discussed several theoretical and practical implications of these findings and proposed future research directions.

从身份认同过程理论的角度:对排斥为何以及何时会引发亲近的日常调查。
尽管现有研究表明排斥与亲近之间存在关系,但关于排斥为何以及何时会促进亲近行为的知识仍然有限。本研究借鉴认同过程理论,通过自我认同威胁在日常时间尺度上的中介作用以及核心自我评价的跨层次调节作用,探讨排斥对趋炎附势行为的影响。通过对 117 名中国大学生进行连续 14 天的日记研究,我们发现日常排斥会通过日常自我认同威胁对日常趋炎附势行为产生积极的间接影响。学生的核心自我评价削弱了这种间接效应,因此只有核心自我评价较低的学生才会采取日常讨好行为来应对来自排斥的自我认同威胁。更重要的是,补充分析表明,平均每天的讨好行为与一周后的排斥感呈负相关。我们讨论了这些发现的理论和实践意义,并提出了未来的研究方向。
