Abstract

Abstract: In this research, two studies were conducted to explore the mechanism and boundary conditions of the effect of social exclusion on prosocial behavior. In study 1, social exclusion was manipulated by using the cyberball paradigm to examine its impact on materialism and pro-social behavior. In study 2, social exclusion was manipulated by using the recall paradigm to examine how future orientation moderates its impact on prosocial behavior. The results of the two studies showed that social exclusion negatively predicted prosocial behavior, materialism played a partial mediating role between social exclusion and prosocial behavior, and future orientation moderated the effect of social exclusion on prosocial behavior. These results revealed that social exclusion increases the level of materialism and thus decreases prosocial behavior, whereas future orientation reduces the negative effects of social exclusion on prosocial behavior.

Key words: social exclusion, materialism, future orientation, prosocial behavior

摘要： 为考察社会排斥影响亲社会行为的心理机制及其边界条件，研究1采用cyberball范式操纵社会排斥，考察其对物质主义价值观和亲社会行为的影响；研究2采用回忆范式操纵社会排斥，并进一步考察了未来取向在社会排斥与亲社会行为的关系中的调节作用。研究结果表明：社会排斥可以负向预测亲社会行为，物质主义价值观在社会排斥对亲社会行为的预测中起部分中介作用，未来取向在社会排斥和亲社会行为之间起调节作用。研究结果揭示了社会排斥导致物质主义价值观水平升高，进而减少亲社会行为，而未来取向可以降低社会排斥对亲社会行为的负面影响。
