摘要

确认是一种普遍的倾向，即以这种方式寻找、使用、解释或记忆信息，以证实自己的假设。我们回顾了各种确认的概念，并将它们分类为它们是否将这种现象描述为认知失败，动机优先化形式或实用策略的功能。然后，我们注意到，这种系统和普遍的现象一定是人类活动的中心机制，服务于一种重要和具体的社会功能。我们认为确认是一种适应机制，服务于应对竞争情况的功能。这个一般命题被分解为三个含义:确认在更大程度上发生(1)当存在竞争时，(2)当竞争具有威胁性时，(3)当竞争威胁到一个人的能力感时。报告了一项研究方案来说明这些影响。

Confirmation as coping with competition

ABSTRACT Confirmation is a widespread tendency to seek, use, interpret or remember information in such a way as to corroborate one’s hypothesis. We review various conceptions of confirmation and classify them as a function of whether they depict this phenomenon as a cognitive failure, a form of motivational prioritisation, or a pragmatic strategy. Then, we note that such a systematic and pervasive phenomenon must be a central mechanism of human activity serving an important and specific social function. We propose that confirmation is an adaptive mechanism that serves the function of coping with competitive situations. This general proposition is broken down into three implications: Confirmation occurs to a larger extent (1) when there is competition, (2) when competition is threatening, (3) when competition threatens one’s feelings of competence. A research programme is reported to illustrate each of these implications.

期刊介绍： The "European Review of Social Psychology (ERSP)" is a distinguished international journal that operates under the patronage of the European Association of Social Psychology. It serves as a platform for comprehensive, theory-driven reviews that cover the broad spectrum of social psychology. The journal is open to submissions from authors worldwide and is guided by a prestigious international editorial board. ERSP is particularly interested in publishing reviews that reflect the author's own research program, as demonstrated by their publications in leading peer-reviewed journals. The journal values theoretical contributions that are grounded in a substantial empirical foundation, situating the research within the broader context of existing literature and offering a synthesis that goes beyond the individual articles. In addition to these in-depth reviews, ERSP also welcomes conventional reviews and meta-analyses, further enriching the journal's offerings. By focusing on high-quality, evidence-based research, ERSP contributes significantly to the advancement of knowledge in social psychology and fosters a deeper understanding of human social behavior across cultures and societies.
