Abstract

Abstract. Previous research found mental contrasting to be an effective self-regulatory strategy. This study explored whether motivational features such as regulatory focus, as promotion focus and prevention focus, could affect people’s spontaneous use of a mental contrasting strategy. The present study hypothesized that promotion focus positively predicts spontaneous mental contrasting. Across the correlational (Study 1) and experimental (Study 2) designs, predominantly promotion-focused university students spontaneously employed more mental contrasting strategies. The implications and suggestions for future research have been discussed.
显性提升焦点与自发心理对比的关系
摘要先前的研究发现,心理对比是一种有效的自我调节策略。本研究探讨了调节焦点、促进焦点和预防焦点等动机特征是否会影响人们对心理对比策略的自发使用。本研究假设提升焦点正向预测自发心理对比。在相关(研究1)和实验(研究2)设计中,以促进为主要目标的大学生自发地采用了更多的心理对比策略。本文还讨论了对未来研究的启示和建议。
