The Influence Of Junior High School Students’ Time Self Image On Self Control And Reciprocal Altruism

Altruism is a kind of good behavior recognized by society and controlled by personal subjective consciousness.As an individual’s ability to consciously control impulsive behavior and resist meeting immediate needs and desires,self-control plays an important role in altruistic behavior.As the subject of self-control,self is also the core of maintaining mental health and forming a sound personality.At the same time,the ego is not only the self existing in the present life,but also the continuation of the past and the future development of the individual.Individual beliefs,values and experiences are accumulated in the past interaction with the surrounding environment.O nly by combining the study of self in time dimension and starting self in time through psychological image,can we understand the essence of self more completely.At present,there are relatively few studies on self-image and self-control of priming time.However,a large number of relevant studies have provided indirect and effective evidence for exploring the relationship between time self and self-control.Based on this,this study explored the influence of time self-image on self-control and altruistic behavior through three experiments.The purpose of first experiment was to test whether the self-image of the start-up time would affect the individual’s self-control ability,that is,whether the reaction time of different groups was different.In a middle school in Lanzhou,120 junior high school students were selected as the research objects.The self-image of the start-up time was manipulated by the writing task in the start-up group,while the text was read in the non start-up group.Then the self-control of the two groups was measured by Go / No Go task.The results showed that the reaction time of the future self group,present self group and past self group was significantly lower than that of the control group,indicating that the self-image of starting time can improve the individual’s self-control ability.In second experiment,we changed the materials of starting time self-image into emotional guidance,and changed the go / No Go task into Stroop task.We further explored whether starting different kinds of time self-image would also lead to different self-control ability after adding positive or negative emotion guidance.In this experiment,180 students from a middle school in Lanzhou C ity were selected as the research object,and the self-image of the starting time was manipulated by writing tasks,and then the self-control ability of the subjects was measured by Stroop task.Compared with the start of self-image task under negative emotion,the subjects with positive emotion had lower reaction time and faster response time,that is,the corresponding subjects had higher ability of conflict inhibition;under positive emotion,there was a significant difference in the reaction time between future self group and past self group,and there was a significant difference among the three groups under negative emotion.The results show that both positive emotion and negative emotion can improve the self-control ability of individuals,and the future self group and past self group have higher self-control ability under the activation of positive emotion time self image.On the basis of the first two experiments,the third experiment adopted the task of time self-image,which was consistent with experiment 2.The measurement of self-control ability was changed into dictator game to explore whether the influence of starting time self-image on individual self-control would continue to affect altruistic behavior.In this experiment,240 students from a middle school in Lanzhou C ity were selected as the research object,and the self image of the start time was manipulated by writing tasks,and then participated in dictator games.The results show that when the positive temporal self-image is activated,the amount of money allocated to others is higher,and the individuals in the future self group and the past self group make more altruistic behaviors.The current research results show that the self-image of the start-up time will affect the individual’s self-control ability and altruistic behavior;Compared with present self group,future self group and past self group can improve self-control ability in positive emotion,while in negative emotion,all three groups can improve self-control ability;Compared with negative time self-image,when active time self-image was started,subjects were more willing to make altruistic behavior;In positive emotions,the future self group and the past self group are more willing to engage in altruistic behavior than the present self group.
