The Influence Of Value-affirmation Regulation On Executive Functions In Different Social Exclusion Context

Scope of the study of social exclusion has slowly expanded from sociology to psychology,so the impact of social exclusion and regulation strategy has became a hot topic in the field of psychology.Previous studies showed that,social exclusion have a negative impact on individual behavior,cognitive,emotional.Certainly the type of value-affirmation can be adjusted after the cognitive impairment of social exclusion.In this study,college students as the subjects,value-affirmation test under different social exclusion scenarios certainly impact on the individual to perform functions.In order to verify the affirmation of self-worth can effectively regulate social exclusion have an impact threat information.Experiment 1: the use of a 2(Scenario Type: social exclusion,social acceptance)×2(Value-affirmation Type: self-enhancement,self-transcendence)between subjects design,discussion on social exclusion under the influence of value-affirmation is certainly the type of scenario the individual performing the functions.The results show that: in the scenario of social exclusion,compared with the operation of self-enhancement,self-transcendence operations can effectively reduce the impact on the individual to perform functions.Experiment 2: the use of a 2(Scenario Type: the future alone group,the future ownership group)×2(Value-affirmation Type: self-enhancement,self-transcendence)between subjects design.Explore the responses to the questionnaire under the scenario of social exclusion,Self-enhancement and self-transcendence affect the operation of the individual to perform functions.The results show that: compared with the self-enhancement operations in the future alone group,self-transcendence group subjects to repeat in the working memory task in reverse,digit span increases,the Stroop Discrimination term task reaction is reduced.IGT decisions more profitable brand choices.Experiment 3:the use of a 2(Scenario Type: social exclusion,socia l acceptance)× 2(Value-affirmation Type: self-enhancement,self-transcendence)between subjects design.In order to improve the operation of social exclusion scenarios ecological validity,face to face refusal operating paradigm of social exclusion.The results show that: In the paradigm of the real situation of social exclusion,social exclusion affect the execution of the function of the individual.Self-transcendence operating conditions,exclusion of individual performance,expand the reverse numerical working memory span,more rational decision-making behavior,Self-regulating capacity enhancement.
