Abstract:

The Sociometer Theory suggests that self-esteem is an internal, subjective marker of the individual’s inclusionary status and monitors the quality of people’s interpersonal relationships. So far, related researches of Sociometer Theory were carried out from two primary orientations: on the one hand to examine the effect of social acceptance and interpersonal evaluation on state self-esteem from the perspective of Social Feedback; on the other hand to examine how the trait self-esteem affects the social willingness and social decision-making from the perspective of social behavior. Future researches should discriminate the social context, and establish an integrated model among Social Feedback, mental change and behavior; moreover, need to examine the effect of the cognitive process about task on self-esteem.

Key words: self-esteem, sociometer theory, social acceptance–rejection, interpersonal evaluation

摘要：

社会计量器理论提出自尊是个体对社交接纳或拒绝的主观计量器，它监控和调节着人们的人际关系质量。目前，该领域的研究主要从两方面展开：一方面从社交反馈的角度探讨了社交接纳与人际评价对状态自尊的影响；另一方面从社交行为的角度探讨了特质自尊对社交意愿和社交决策的影响。未来的研究需要对影响自尊的社交情境进行具体区分，并就社交反馈、心理变化与社交行为的关系,任务特性的认知过程对自尊的影响进行综合探讨。
