摘　　要：通过三个研究考察社会情境对物质主义和亲社会行为关系的影响。研究1采用问卷法考察物质主义和亲社会倾向的关系,发现在匿名情境中,高物质主义组的亲社会倾向显著低于低物质主义组,但在公开情境中差异不显著。研究2和3操纵社会情境,分别测量和启动物质主义,并采用独裁者游戏和公共物品博弈任务测量亲社会公平行为和亲社会合作行为,一致发现匿名情境中高物质主义组的亲社会行为显著低于低物质主义组,公开情境中高物质主义组的亲社会行为增加且与低物质主义组无显著差异。三个研究共同表明高物质主义者的亲社会行为具有情境差异。Materialism,as a self-enhancement value,is in conflict with the prosocial value,which belongs to the self-transcendence values.Increased materialism is often accompanied by a decrease in prosocial behavior.However,the driving force behind materialism can also lead individuals to engage in prosocial behavior.Materialists seek external approval to enhance their self-image.Prosocial behavior,when visualized,has signal value in that it displays positive social qualities to others,thus gaining approval and praise.Consequently,materialists may exhibit prosocial behavior in public context as a means of impression management.This study aims to investigate the moderating role of social context in the relation between materialism and prosocial behavior.To explore the impact of social context on the relationship between materialism and prosocial behavior,three studies were conducted.Study 1 surveyed 489 college students using questionnaires to examine the correlation between materialism and self-reported overt and anonymous prosocial tendencies.Study 2 recruited 163 participants to investigate the causal relationship and observe actual prosocial behavior.Materialism scores were measured using the Materialistic Values Scale,and participants were placed in either public or anonymous setting.The Dictator Game was used to measure prosocial behavior,with fair behavior as the indicator.In Study 3,148 participants had their materialism levels manipulated using an imagination-based paradigm before being assigned to public or anonymous contexts.The Public Goods Game was used to measure prosocial behavior,with cooperative behavior as the indicator.The findings from Study 1 revealed a negative correlation between materialism and anonymous prosocial tendencies(p<.01)as well as overall prosocial tendencies(p<.05).Furthermore,high materialists exhibited significantly lower anonymous prosocial tendencies compared to low materialists(p<.01).However,no significant correlation was found between materialism and public prosocial tendencies(p>.
