中国集体主义文化下的一致性行动是如何达成的？责任意识动态模型的构建与检验

Objective Based on the phenomenon that Chinese people can wear masks within a short period of time after the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic, this study explores the mechanism of concerted actions under Chinese collectivism. Methods Through logical integration of previous studies and the results of a national questionnaire survey on Chinese people s motivation to wear masks during the epidemic period, this study first constructed a theoretical model of the awareness of responsibility under Chinese collectivism, and put forward the possibility of its dynamic nature led by the changes of social and organizational situations; and then the study used methods like questionnaire, interview, Thematic Apperception Test and survey experiment to verify the validity of the model and the causes and consequences of its dynamic nature. It is speculated that different forms of the model will lead to different levels of concerted actions under the collective goal, and then a situation-primed survey experiment was designed to test the cause and effect. Results 1. The micro model of responsibility consciousness under collectivism culture can be divided into two parts: individual responsibility and interdependent responsibility: when interdependent responsibility dominates, individual and others in the collective form meta responsibility interdependence, which constitutes the meso model of responsibility consciousness; the meta responsibility interdependence of all individuals in the collective forms a macro model similar to Chinese knot ; 2 The Chinese knot model of responsibility consciousness shows a dynamic change with the change of situation; 3. The results of the questionnaire experiment show that driven by the collective goal, the consistent action tendency of the individuals who are interdependent with the collective responsibility will be significantly enhanced. Limitations As a preliminary exploration of theoretical modeling and empirical test from the perspective of Chinese indigenous psychology and Western cultural psychology, this study has a long way to go from its ultimate goal of telling Chinese stories in the world academic language . Conclusions Under Chinese collectivism culture, people s sense of responsibility can be represented by Chinese knot , and its different forms of self construction with the change of situation will lead to different levels of consistent action driven by collective goals.
