Learning Objective 1 Takeaways 学习目标 1 要点

• Like philosophers before them, modern psychologists break the self down into two interrelated parts:
  像他们之前的哲学家一样，现代心理学家将自我分解为两个相互关联的部分：
  • the self as a collection of information; and
    自我作为信息的集合；
  • the self as a set of processes.
    自我作为一个过程集合。
• The self as a collection of information refers to the fact that the self contains all of our self-knowledge, including autobiographical memories, our likes and dislikes, and our feelings about ourselves.
  自我作为一个信息集合，指的是自我包含了我们所有的自我知识，包括自传性记忆、我们的喜好和厌恶，以及我们对自己的感受。
  • Asking people to report the contents of their working self-concept using the “I Am” task is one simple, effective way of learning about the self-knowledge people have.
    询问人们使用“我是”任务报告他们工作自我概念的内容，这是一种简单有效了解人们自我知识的方法。
• The self as a set of processes refers to the fact that the self can initiate or affect many different mental actions that, in turn, affect our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. We have seen several examples of this, including:
  自我作为一个过程集合，指的是自我可以启动或影响许多不同的心理活动，这些活动反过来又影响我们的思想、情感和行为。我们已看到几个这样的例子，包括：
  • the study illustrating that people with high self-esteem experienced little to no decrease in feelings of self-worth in the face of failure, whereas people with low self-esteem had lower feelings of self-worth after failing than after success; and
    研究表明，自尊心高的人在面对失败时几乎没有任何自我价值感的下降，而自尊心低的人在失败后的自我价值感比成功后要低；
  • the basking in reflected glory (BIRGing) study that illustrated people changed their behavior (wore school-themed clothing) in order to improve their self-esteem.
    在反射性荣耀（BIRGing）研究中，展示了人们为了提高自尊而改变行为（穿校服）。
• As the previous key takeaways have shown, many different methods can be used when studying the self. These include observing people’s behavior and asking them to report their thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.
  正如前面的关键要点所示，研究自我时可以采用许多不同的方法。这包括观察人们的行为并要求他们报告他们的想法、感受和行为。
