Abstract

Identity theory research shows that prominence, or identity importance, positively predicts salience or likely identity enactment. Sometimes the association is strong, indicating close matches in magnitude, whereas other times, it is weak, indicating mismatches in magnitude. We build on this work by exploring prominence–salience combinations, paying attention to how congruity and magnitude relate to role-specific self-esteem. We test two competing arguments: cognitive consistency—matches are good, mismatches are bad—and uncertainty reduction—high and low scores are clearly defined and good, medium scores are ambiguous and bad. Using data from 1,899 participants with parent (or no children) and spousal (or single) identities, results favor uncertainty reduction: matching medium prominence–salience scores are worse for self-esteem than other matching scores and often even mismatching scores. This work is important because it considers the felt and lived components of identity, advancing understanding of how identity experiences relate to well-being.
显著性组合与自尊:大小和一致性重要吗?
身份理论研究表明,突出性或身份重要性积极地预测突出性或可能的身份制定。有时这种关联很强,表明在量级上接近匹配,而其他时候,它很弱,表明在量级上不匹配。我们在此基础上探索突出-突出组合,关注一致性和大小如何与角色特异性自尊相关。我们测试了两个相互竞争的论点:认知一致性——匹配是好的,不匹配是坏的——不确定性减少——高分和低分是明确定义的好,中分是模糊的坏。通过对1899名有父母(或无子女)和配偶(或单身)身份的参与者的数据分析,结果有利于减少不确定性:中等突出性分数对自尊的影响比其他匹配分数更差,甚至往往是不匹配分数。这项工作很重要,因为它考虑了身份的感受和生活组成部分,促进了对身份体验与幸福感之间关系的理解。
