社会规范松紧度和自尊的关系：责任心的中介作用

Cultural factors have been found to affect the formation and development of individual‘s self-esteem. Many studies in cultural psychology examined the influences of social status or interpersonal relationships on self-esteem, yet few studies in China explored either the effect of social norms and personality on selfesteem. This study aimed at exploring the indirect effects of conscientiousness on the relations between tightness and self-esteem for Chinese students. The questionnaire of the five personalities for Chinese people, the questionnaire for tightness-looseness and the Rosenberg self-esteem scale were administered to 203 university students. Results showed that both tightness and conscientiousness correlated positively with selfesteem, and conscientiousness could mediate the relationship between the tightness and self-esteem.
