Abstract

In this study, two substructures by Chinese college students, proud of two sub mood - arrogant and proud Chinese cultural context, to prove from a cross-cultural perspective, pride and pride of the process model there is no cultural differences. The main purpose of study 1 is proved from the semantic point of pride in the presence of two substructures in the Chinese culture. A pre-study of the research, the use of verbal induction and pictures induction methods induce Chinese college students \words. Then, in Study 1, these 18 words matched one by one, so that the test evaluation of the similarity between the word pairs conducted using cluster analysis and discuss the vocabulary evaluation results, two results demonstrate pride and words are divided into two categories the most suitable from the point of view of the semantic analysis proved the presence of the arrogant and proud structure. 2 has three purposes, the first to explore proud of the two-dimensional structure is also present in the day-to-day situation. Secondly, the presence of a two-dimensional structure is due to the feelings of the individual titer and activation levels vary. Third discussed the proud son of two-dimensional outline of the relationship of structure and personality. As a result, the study first extended vocabulary, 2 requirements were related words (from the study of a pre-study), were evaluated based on the degree of the usual the tendentious feelings of pride and also several valence and activation level 63 words separately evaluated. Secondly, the use of the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, 10 the Narcissistic Personality Inventory \guilt Tendency Scale (TOSCA-3) \The results are then analyzed using exploratory factor analysis, analysis results were validated using confirmatory factor analysis of pride related words, results show that the most appropriate when the words are divided into two categories. Titer and activation words proud related words do regression retained standard error, standard error factor analysis, prove word is divided into two types was not due to their titer or different activation levels. Finally, the results of two types of words and Personality Inventory related found pride and extraversion, self-esteem, agreeableness, conscientiousness, openness, stability were tested positive correlation; ashamed psychological negatively correlated with neurotic. Mostly the opposite the arrogant results above, proved prone to pride tendency of individual personality than arrogant tendencies individual prone personality more adaptive, and more positive. Study 3 also has three purposes, first proved there for a certain event, the pride of the sub-structure of the two-dimensional. Second, we explore the pride of a two-dimensional structure of the relationship with their attributional style. Finally, we discuss the relationship between social comparison with two-dimensional structure. The experimental operation is as follows: let memories and a description of a certain something to make them proud of the event, and then let their pride-related words, potency and evaluate the activation level of word. Similarly, the results demonstrate that the proud related words can be divided into two categories, and the difference between them was not formed due to the difference between the titer and the activation level. Secondly, the use of trained professionals in the event of self-expression from the type of event, attributional style and social the more able content analysis, and with pride word score and attribution, social comparison results related discovery to make ability attributions were more inclined to arrogant emotional the effort attribution subjects not. Showed that social comparison test than those who did not exhibit the social comparison were more prone to arrogance emotion. Study 4, mainly through the locus of control and social comparison, observations were arrogant pride of the judge, to further explore attribution, social comparison with arrogant pride emotional relationship between. The operation follows, setting a hypothetical events were attributed to type and social comparison operation, requires the assumption that events were read and try to imagine, and then of the arrogant pride of emotion measurement (from research 1, two in the selection of materials), using mixed design analysis of variance analysis of the results found that attributed to the type and arrogant pride emotional interact individuals more prone to pride emotional effort attribution, and the for capacity attribution individual more prone to arrogance emotions (with the conclusion of the study three kinds echoes), in which the role of social comparison was not significant. In short, the above-mentioned series of studies have shown that the two sub mood - arrogant, proud proud Chinese cultural context. And the pride of the the attribution process model - the different attribution ways of generation of the two kinds of pride. Impact, this conclusion has also been confirmed.
