自我控制资源对亲社会行为的影响

大量研究表明人们需要消耗自我控制资源压抑自利动机才能实现亲社会行为。然而,有研究发现自我控制资源和亲社会行为之间并不存在关系,甚至发现自我控制资源受损的个体反而更有可能产生亲社会行为。因此,对于亲社会行为究竟是“有意为之”还是“直觉使然”仍然存在争议。基于双系统理论视角,具体探讨自我控制资源如何影响人们的亲社会决策,包括何时采用何系统进行决策,以及在不同系统下存在的不同的影响因素和作用机制。未来研究需要进一步细化及完善对亲社会行为的测量,探究其中的调节变量。

The Impact of Self-Regulatory Resource on Prosocial Behavior

Accumulative research suggested that individuals engage in prosocial behaviors only when exer ting self-regulatory resources to suppress their egoism motives.However,One stream of research found that self-regulatory resource cannot significantly influence prosocial behaviors,and.moreover,ego-deple tion sometimes promotes the prosocial behaviors.There is no consensus as to whether prosocial behavior is“deliberative”or“intuitive”.Based on dual process theory,we illustrate how self-regulatory resource af fects decisions regarding prosocial issues,including which system will be activated,and varied factors that may influence the processes.Future research should improve the measurement and explore the potential moderators within the dual process theory.
