Abstract

Abstract Social-cognitive psychology assumes that personal and social identity are complex and dynamic in nature. According to motivated identity construction theory (MICT), people shape their identity to satisfy basic motivations for distinctiveness, continuity, self-esteem, belonging, efficacy and meaning. The level of motives satisfaction fluctuates and may change according to circumstances. Our experiment (N = 85) examined whether affirmation of one’s most important values increases satisfaction of identity motives. The results showed that self-affirmation strengthened the motivational basis of identity in two domains: meaning and efficacy. The interaction between self-affirmation and self-concept clarity did not predict motive satisfaction, but self-concept clarity predicted motive satisfaction independently of affirmation level.

通过肯定自己最重要的价值观来强化身份认同

摘要社会认知心理学认为，个人和社会身份本质上是复杂而动态的。根据动机身份建构理论（MICT），人们塑造自己的身份是为了满足独特性、连续性、自尊、归属感、功效和意义的基本动机。动机满意度的水平是波动的，可能会随着环境的变化而变化。我们的实验（N = 85）研究了对一个人最重要价值观的肯定是否会增加对身份动机的满意度。结果表明，自我肯定在两个领域强化了身份认同的动机基础：意义和效能。自我肯定和自我概念清晰度之间的交互作用不能预测动机满意度，但自我概念清晰度独立于肯定水平预测动机满意度。

期刊介绍： Psychology and related disciplines throughout the human sciences and humanities have been revolutionized by a postmodern emphasis on the role of language, human systems, and personal knowledge in the construction of social realities. The Journal of Constructivist Psychology is the first publication to provide a professional forum for this emerging focus, embracing such diverse expressions of constructivism as personal construct theory, constructivist marriage and family therapy, structural-developmental and language-based approaches to psychology, and narrative psychology.
