<p>This study employs the self-referential paradigm to investigate the cognitive and emotional similarities and differences in processing individual self and collective self among Chinese participants from two perspectives: first-person (Experiment 1) and third-person (Experiment 2).

摘要

This study employs the self-referential paradigm to investigate the cognitive and emotional similarities and differences in processing individual self and collective self among Chinese participants from two perspectives: first-person (Experiment 1) and third-person (Experiment 2). The results from both experiments revealed that, in terms of trait adjectives judgement, individuals rate the collective self more positively than the individual self. However, in recognition rates, the individual self is recognized at a significantly higher rate than the collective self. These findings indicate that there exists a certain degree of dissociation effect in the cognitive and emotional processing of individual and collective selves among Chinese individuals. Specifically, individuals exhibit more detailed cognitive processing of the individual self, while showing a stronger positive bias toward the collective self. This dissociation effect may be influenced by the collectivist culture, reflecting the role of culture in shaping self-construction and contributing to a deeper understanding of individual self-construction in the context of Chinese culture.
