研究将自尊的意识性/无意识性与自尊的稳定性/不稳定性两种视角相结合,探讨了外显自尊水平、内隐自尊水平、外显自尊稳定性、内隐自尊稳定性之间的关系及其对抑郁的压力缓冲作用。研究发现:外显自尊水平、内隐自尊稳定性、压力对抑郁的预测效应显著;内隐自尊水平与内隐自尊稳定性的交互作用能够预测抑郁;外显自尊水平与内隐自尊稳定性能够缓冲压力对个体抑郁的作用。研究还分析了内隐自尊稳定性研究对深化“内隐自尊”概念的启示作用,并探讨了内隐自尊稳定性研究的进一步发展方向。
Integrating the consciousness/unconsciousness of self-esteem with the stability/instability of self-esteem, the present study explored the relationship among the level of explicit self-esteem, the level of implicit self-esteem, explicit self-esteem stability and implicit self-esteem, and their roles as buffers against stress-related depression. The results showed that explicit self-esteem, implicit self-esteem and stress are all good predictors of depression; the level of implicit self-esteem and implicit self-esteem stability influenced an individual' s depression interactively; the level of explicit self-esteem and implicit self-esteem stability buffered stress-related depression. The implications of implicit self-esteem stability to implicit self-esteem research and future directions of implicit self-esteem stability were discussed.
