Pride is universal; however, the complexities linked to its social status functions and implications for social relationships suggest the possibility of variation in its display. Drawing from empirical evidence, this study examined whether displayed pride would vary by social context (i.e., whether the target was a competitor or a loved one), ethnic heritage (i.e., membership in individualistic or collectivistic cultural groups) and by gender. Young adults (N = 145) verbally described a pride experience to an imagined competitor, loved one, stranger or in a no-context control condition. Results showed similarity in displayed pride across the four contexts. However, some ethnic group and gender variations were observed. Latino/a/x Americans displayed less pride verbally than European Americans while women displayed more than men. These findings contribute to a better understanding of how people manage the display of pride and suggest that ethnic and gendered motivations for managing pride displays are relevant to a comprehensive understanding of interpersonal emotion regulation.
骄傲是普遍存在的；然而，其与社会地位的功能相关的复杂性以及对社会关系的影响表明，其表现可能存在差异。本研究基于实证证据，探讨了展示的骄傲是否会因社会背景（即目标是竞争对手还是所爱的人）、种族背景（即个人主义或集体主义文化群体的成员身份）和性别而有所不同。年轻人（N=145）在想象中的竞争对手、所爱的人、陌生人或无背景的控制条件下口头描述了一次骄傲的经历。结果表明，在这四个情境中，表现出的骄傲是相似的。然而，也观察到了一些种族群体和性别差异。拉丁裔美国人在口头表达上的骄傲程度低于欧洲裔美国人，而女性的骄傲程度高于男性。这些发现有助于更好地理解人们如何管理骄傲的表现，并表明管理骄傲表现的种族和性别动机对于全面理解人际情感调节是相关的。
