Abstract

Failure (Study 1) and attachment separation thoughts (Study 2) caused exaggerated consensus estimates for personal beliefs about unrelated social issues. This compensatory consensus effect was most pronounced among defensively proud individuals, that is, among those with the combination of high explicit and low implicit self-esteem (Study 1) and the combination of high attachment avoidance and low attachment anxiety (Study 2). In Study 3, another form of defensive pride, narcissism, was associated with exaggerated consensual worldview defense after a system-injustice threat. In Study 4, imagined consensus reduced subjective salience of proud individuals' troubling thoughts. Compensatory consensus is seen as a kind of defensive self-affirmation that defensively proud people turn to for insulation from distressing thoughts.

摘要

失败（研究1）和依恋分离想法（研究2）导致了对无关社会问题的个人信念的共识估计出现夸大。这种补偿性共识效应在防御性骄傲的个体中最为明显，也就是说，在那些具有高外显自尊和低内隐自尊组合（研究1）以及高依恋回避和低依恋焦虑组合（研究2）的个体中最为明显。在研究3中，另一种形式的防御性骄傲，即自恋，与系统不公正威胁后的夸大的共识世界观防御有关。在研究4中，想象中的共识降低了骄傲个体困扰想法的主观显著性。补偿性共识被视为一种防御性自我肯定，防御性骄傲的人会转向它来隔绝痛苦的想法。
