Module 03 · Motives of the Self
Reflecting on the Self-Motives自我动机反思
Overview 概述
Sometimes it’s easy to understand something in the abstract, but harder to apply it in real life. The exercises on this page will ask you to think about your behavior, and that of other people, and what motives might be guiding this behavior.

You’ve now done quite a bit of thinking about self-enhancement. Before you move on, we’d like you to reflect on one more thing. Think about how your culture looks upon self-enhancement. Did you see that reflected in your answers? How do you think someone from a culture with a different orientation to self-enhancement might have answered the same questions?
您现在已经对自我提升进行了相当多的思考。在您继续之前，我们希望您再思考一件事情。想想您的文化如何看待自我提升。您在您的答案中看到了这种反映吗？您认为来自一个对自我提升有不同取向的文化的人会如何回答同样的问题？
Self-Verification 自我验证
Now, let’s start a second exercise focused on self-verification.
现在，让我们开始第二个以自我验证为重点的练习。

One difference between the self-verification motive and the self-enhancement motive is that people who are self-verifying seek out and accept negative feedback when they have a negative view of themselves. Did any of your answers in the previous activity focus on someone seeking out negative feedback? If not, take a few moments now and see if you can come up with a time when you’ve seen yourself or someone else intentionally looking for negative information about themselves.
自我验证动机与自我提升动机之间的一个区别在于，自我验证的人在自己对自身有负面看法时，会寻求并接受负面反馈。你在上一个活动中的任何答案是否关注过寻求负面反馈的人？如果不是，现在花几分钟时间看看你是否能想起一个你或他人故意寻找关于自己的负面信息的时刻。
Accuracy 精确度
Now, let’s finish this page with some questions about the accuracy motive.
现在，让我们用一些关于准确性动机的问题来完成这一页。

Seeking accurate feedback can be difficult when the feedback is likely to be negative, thereby coming into conflict with our self-enhancement motive. However, receiving accurate feedback is often the best (or only) way to improve our performance in the future. When a task is important and we have the opportunity to improve, we are motivated to perform well and, thus, seek accurate feedback.
寻求准确反馈可能很困难，因为反馈很可能是负面的，从而与我们的自我提升动机发生冲突。然而，接收准确反馈通常是改善我们未来表现的最佳（或唯一）方式。当一项任务很重要，我们有改进的机会时，我们会受到良好的表现动机，因此寻求准确反馈。
We hope these exercises have given you an idea of how frequently you and others act in service to these motives.
我们希望这些练习让您和其他人了解这些动机下你们行动的频率。
