在每个实验中,即使原因不同,被测试者们发现这些负面的和正面的八卦消息都与个人价值有关。研究人员写道,正面的八卦消息能产生自我完善价值观。与他人能力相关的正面八卦具有如何提升个人能力的作用。
On the flip side, "negative gossip has self-promotion value, because it provides individuals with social comparison information that justifies self-promoting judgments, which results in feelings of pride."
相反,由于负面八卦会给个人带来一种社会性比较,且这种比较证明了自我提升会带来一种自豪感,因此负面八卦被看作是一种自我提升价值观。
"Contrary to lay perceptions," the researchers assert, "most negative gossip is not intended to hurt the target, but to please the gossiper and receiver."
研究人员称,与世俗的认知相反,大多数负面八卦并不是想伤害那些被谈论的人,仅仅是因为这样做会让谈论者和听众感到开心。
In addition, the results "showed that negative gossip elicited self-protection concerns," the researchers write. "Negative gossip makes people concerned that their reputations may be at risk, as they may personally become targets of negative gossip in the future, which generates fear."
除此之外,研究人员还写道,研究结果表明,负面八卦还会产生一种自我保护意识。它会使人们担心自己的名誉是否受损,因为在将来,自己也可能成为负面八卦的谈论对象。这都会令人产生恐惧感。
