Many studies indicate that increasing self-awareness leads to individuals reflecting on their values and ideals (Silvia & Duval, 2001). This self-reflection appears to increase prosocial behaviour (Berkowitz, 1987). However, previously studies typically manipulated self-awareness in situations in which the individual may have felt pressure from the researcher to help. Thus, experimenter pressure to behave prosocially confounds the self-awareness explanation provided in past research. We used a novel experimental paradigm to manipulate self-awareness and remove the researcher's presence to decrease the likelihood that the participant would conform to experimenter demand. Participants were 36 college students (Mage = 19.52; 25 women). The results indicated a strong probability that the experimental condition participants were more prosocial than control condition participants. These findings provide additional support for the hypothesis that self-reflection increases prosocial behaviour, even without experimenter demands. These findings and the importance of studying objective self-awareness in light of the coronavirus are discussed.

我可以看到自己的帮助:自我意识对亲社会行为的影响

许多研究表明,提高自我意识会导致个人反思自己的价值观和理想(Silvia & Duval,2001)。这种自我反思似乎会增加亲社会行为(Berkowitz,1987)。然而,以前的研究通常在个人可能感到来自研究人员的帮助压力的情况下操纵自我意识。因此,实验者亲社会行为的压力混淆了过去研究中提供的自我意识解释。我们使用了一种新颖的实验范式来操纵自我意识并消除研究人员的存在,以降低参与者符合实验者需求的可能性。参加者为36名大学生(M = 19.52; 25 名女性)。结果表明,实验条件参与者比控制条件参与者更亲社会的可能性很大。这些发现为自我反思会增加亲社会行为的假设提供了额外的支持,即使没有实验者的要求。讨论了这些发现以及根据冠状病毒研究客观自我意识的重要性。
