This study examined the validity of situational view on culture-specific behaviours focusing on self-evaluation. Two experiments with American students as samples were conducted to examine whether priming their self-construals would affect individuals' self-evaluation. In Experiment 1, the participants' self-evaluation was compared across different conditions of primed self-contruals. In Experiment 2, the participants were split into 2 groups based on their initial default self-consturals and, the self-evaluations were compared across the 2 groups after priming self-contruals. The results demonstrated that although the participants' self-evaluation was initially in accord with their default self-construal, it changed into accord with the primed self-construals. The findings supported the proposed cultural game player view. Implications on situational view of self-evaluation are also discussed.
本研究以自我评估为重点，考察了情境观对特定文化行为的有效性。以美国学生为样本进行了两项实验，以检验启动他们的自我建构是否会影响个体的自我评估。在实验1中，比较了不同启动自我建构条件下参与者的自我评估。在实验2中，根据参与者最初的默认自我建构将他们分成两组，在启动自我建构后比较两组的自我评估。结果表明，尽管参与者的自我评估最初与他们的默认自我建构一致，但后来转变为与启动的自我建构一致。这些发现支持了所提出的文化游戏玩家观点。还讨论了对自我评估情境观的启示。
