This paper introduces the social self-restriction (SSR) model, which highlights a drawback associated with the increasingly accessible privilege of social autonomy. Social autonomy enables individuals to connect with preferred social partners and avoid undesirable others. The benefits of social autonomy are undeniable; however, the SSR model makes the novel assertion that people tend to exercise social autonomy in ways that ultimately constrain their potential for social empowerment—a higher-order form of personal freedom. Attaining the ideal of high social empowerment requires both high social autonomy and high social adaptability. People with high social adaptability can feel reasonably comfortable and act competently in social environments they did not choose to inhabit. Unfortunately, people with high social autonomy are unlikely to possess high social adaptability. We propose that social autonomy undermines social adaptability by tempting people to avoid social challenges and socialize selectively with similar others in familiar contexts, a habit that limits social skill development, promotes social intolerance, and distorts social perceptions. In essence, we argue that social autonomy allows people to live in their social comfort zones, at the cost of restricting their social range. Our discussion of the SSR model incorporates evidence and perspectives from a broad range of academic disciplines, and includes consideration of opportunities for future research.

社会自治≠社会赋权:社会自我约束模型

本文介绍了社会自我限制 (SSR) 模型,该模型强调了与越来越容易获得的社会自治特权相关的缺点。社会自治使个人能够与首选的社会伙伴建立联系并避免不受欢迎的他人。社会自治的好处是不可否认的;然而,SSR 模型做出了新的断言,即人们倾向于以最终限制他们获得社会赋权的潜力的方式行使社会自主权——一种更高层次的个人自由形式。实现高度社会赋权的理想需要高度的社会自主性和高度的社会适应性。具有高度社会适应性的人可以在他们没有选择居住的社会环境中感到相当舒适并能胜任。很遗憾,社会自主性高的人不太可能具有高的社会适应能力。我们提出,社会自治通过诱使人们避免社会挑战并在熟悉的环境中选择性地与相似的其他人交往来破坏社会适应能力,这种习惯限制了社交技能的发展,促进了社会不容忍,并扭曲了社会观念。从本质上讲,我们认为社会自治允许人们生活在他们的社会舒适区,但代价是限制了他们的社交范围。我们对 SSR 模型的讨论结合了来自广泛学科的证据和观点,并包括对未来研究机会的考虑。我们提出,社会自治通过诱使人们避免社会挑战并在熟悉的环境中选择性地与相似的其他人交往来破坏社会适应能力,这种习惯限制了社交技能的发展,促进了社会不容忍,并扭曲了社会观念。从本质上讲,我们认为社会自治允许人们生活在他们的社会舒适区,但代价是限制了他们的社交范围。我们对 SSR 模型的讨论结合了来自广泛学科的证据和观点,并包括对未来研究机会的考虑。我们提出,社会自治通过诱使人们避免社会挑战并在熟悉的环境中选择性地与相似的其他人交往来破坏社会适应能力,这种习惯限制了社交技能的发展,促进了社会不容忍,并扭曲了社会观念。从本质上讲,我们认为社会自治允许人们生活在他们的社会舒适区,但代价是限制了他们的社交范围。我们对 SSR 模型的讨论结合了来自广泛学科的证据和观点,并包括对未来研究机会的考虑。以限制他们的社交范围为代价。我们对 SSR 模型的讨论结合了来自广泛学科的证据和观点,并包括对未来研究机会的考虑。以限制他们的社交范围为代价。我们对 SSR 模型的讨论结合了来自广泛学科的证据和观点,并包括对未来研究机会的考虑。
