自我客体化对个体生命意义感的影响：心理一致感和自我同情的作用
|
Abstract:
当前社会中不确定因素的增加，使得自我客体化现象正在不断地扩大和加深。之前的研究表明，自我客体化会影响个体的幸福感和生活满意度，使得个体产生焦虑抑郁等心理伤害，但是较少研究去进一步探讨自我客体化导致这些伤害的更加深层的原因。因此，本研究想要以四成分生命意义感这一更加宏观的概念，探索自我客体化与生命意义感之间的关系，发掘自我客体化个体在体验生命意义感方面的心理机制。根据之前的研究，本文提出自我连续性可以在自我客体化和四成分生命意义感之间起中介的作用，并推测自我同情可以缓解低水平的自我客体化带来的消极影响。为了验证这些设想，我们收取了641个有效样本。结果显示，高水平的自我客体化与低水平的四成分生命意义感呈显著相关，自我客体化与生命意义感的四个成分都是显著负相关；自我连续性可以作为一个路径解释为什么自我客体化的个体会体验到较低水平的生命意义感并在其中起到了完全中介作用，且生命意义感可以从更宏观的角度解释自我客体化的负面心理。此外，自我同情能够缓解低自我连续性带来的消极影响，其调节作用也得到了证明。
The increase of uncertain factors in the current society has led to the continuous expansion and deepening of the phenomenon of self-objectification. Previous studies have shown that self-objectification can affect an individual’s sense of happiness and life satisfaction, leading to psychological harm such as anxiety and depression. However, there has been little research to further explore the deeper causes of these harms caused by self-objectification. Therefore, this study aims to explore the relationship between self-objectification and life meaning from the quadripartite existential meaning, and to explore the psychological mechanism of them. Based on previous research, this article proposes that self-continuity can play a mediating role between self-objectification and the quadripartite existential meaning, and speculates that self-compassion can alleviate the negative effects of low levels of self-objectification. To validate these hypotheses, we collected 641 valid samples. The results showed that high levels of self-objectification were significantly correlated with low levels of the quadripartite existential meaning, and self-objectification was negatively correlated with all four components of the quadripartite existential meaning; self-continuity can serve as a pathway to explain why individuals who self-objectify experience lower levels of the quadripartite existential meaning and play a fully mediating role in it, and the quadripartite existential meaning can explain the negative psychological effects of self-objectification from a more macro perspective. In addition, self-compassion can alleviate the negative effects of low self-consistency, and its moderating effect has also been proven.
