In 1988, we published an article that challenged the notion that accurate perceptions of self and the world are essential for mental health (Taylor & Brown, 1988). We argued instead that people's perceptions in these domains are positively biased and that these positive illusions promote psychological well-being. In the current article, we review our theoretical model, correct certain misconceptions in its empirical application, and address the criticisms made by Colvin and Block.
1988年，我们发表了一篇文章，对准确感知自我和世界对心理健康至关重要这一观点提出了挑战（泰勒和布朗，1988年）。相反，我们认为人们在这些领域的感知存在积极偏差，并且这些积极错觉促进了心理健康。在本文中，我们回顾了我们的理论模型，纠正了其在实证应用中的某些误解，并回应了科尔文和布洛克提出的批评。
