Effects of self-presentational behaviors of 2 German politicians during an election campaign were analyzed. Six scenes from interviews with the politicians were presented to 43 German students, who qualitatively evaluated the politicians' performances. The participants did not perceive behaviors such as interrupting journalists, brushing off criticism, reacting with countercriticism, and attacking the opponent personally as indicators of strength but interpreted them as signs of aggression and arrogance. On the other hand, the participants associated calm reactions to criticism, focused attacks on the opponent, and explanations of opinions and plans with self-assurance and competence. Although the participants evaluated overt positive self-description negatively, they evaluated indirect self-enhancement positively. The participants' party affiliations were largely unrelated to their evaluations.
分析了2名德国政治家在竞选活动中的自我展示行为的影响。从对这些政治家的采访中选取了6个场景展示给43名德国学生，这些学生对政治家的表现进行了定性评估。参与者并不认为打断记者、无视批评、以反驳批评回应以及人身攻击对手等行为是力量的表现，而是将其解读为攻击性和傲慢的迹象。另一方面，参与者将对批评的冷静反应、对对手的针对性攻击以及对观点和计划的解释与自信和能力联系起来。尽管参与者对公开的积极自我描述评价消极，但他们对间接的自我提升评价积极。参与者的党派归属在很大程度上与他们的评价无关。
