Abstract

Feeling accepted by others is a fundamental human motive and an important marker of successful social interactions. This interpersonal perception, known as meta-liking, is especially relevant during adolescence, when peer relationships deepen and expand. However, knowledge is limited regarding meta-liking formation in initial social interactions. This study investigated whether adolescents (N = 293, Mage = 15.48, 61.10% female) have default expectations for meta-liking at zero acquaintance and how these judgments are updated during initial group interactions. Specifically, we used latent change models to examine how personality traits predicted initial meta-liking and whether personality and social interaction experiences were linked to changes in meta-liking judgments throughout an interaction. Our findings revealed three key insights: First, meta-liking increased gradually over the course of the interaction, with substantial individual differences in both default meta-liking and change scores. Second, extraversion, neuroticism, and self-esteem predicted initial meta-liking. Third, liking others was also linked to initial meta-liking and early changes, while meta-liking changes toward the end of the interaction occurred independent of all these features and were not predicted by expressive behaviors of interaction partners. This study represents a first empirical test of default expectations and updates in meta-liking based on personality characteristics and social interaction experiences in initial social interactions. We discuss our results in terms of a broader framework for understanding how metaperceptions are formed and updated early in the acquaintance process.

我想你可能会喜欢我初始社交互动中元喜欢的出现和变化。
感觉被他人接受是人类的基本动机,也是成功社会交往的重要标志。这种被称为 "元喜欢"(meta-liking)的人际感知在青春期尤为重要,因为此时同伴关系会加深和扩大。然而,关于在初始社会交往中形成元喜欢的知识却很有限。本研究调查了青少年(人数 = 293,年龄 = 15.48,女性占 61.10%)在零认识时是否对元喜欢有默认期望,以及这些判断在最初的群体互动中是如何更新的。具体来说,我们使用潜在变化模型来研究人格特质如何预测最初的元喜好,以及人格和社会互动经历是否与整个互动过程中元喜好判断的变化有关。我们的研究结果揭示了三个关键问题:首先,元喜好在互动过程中逐渐增加,默认元喜好和变化分数都存在很大的个体差异。第二,外向性、神经质和自尊预测了最初的元喜欢。第三,喜欢他人也与最初的元喜欢和早期的变化有关,而互动结束时元喜欢的变化则与所有这些特征无关,并且不受互动伙伴表达行为的影响。本研究首次对基于初始社会互动中的人格特征和社会互动经验的元喜欢默认预期和更新进行了实证检验。我们将从一个更广泛的框架来讨论我们的研究结果,以了解元认知是如何在相识过程的早期形成和更新的。(PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2024 APA, 版权所有)。
