本研究的主要目的在探討自我檢校(self-monitoring) 此人格變項對先發
性態度改變的影響。首先，根據Bond與Hwang(1986) 所說的中國人可能是
高自我檢校者的推論，本研究引用Cialdini,Levy,Herman,Kozlowski &
Petty(1976) 的實驗設計和發現，以台灣大學生做受試者，預測當受試者
預期和一態度立場相反的人討論某議題時，不管議題自我關聯(self-
relevance)的程度高低，受試者均會產生中立性先發性態度變化，而不會
像Cialdini等人的研究，在高自我關聯時，出現態度極化改變的現象。但
是，在2(討論的議題) x 2(議題自我關聯的程度) 的實驗設計中所得到的
結果，不只與假設不符合，也未重複出現Cialdini等人的研究結果。進一
步將受試者在中文版自我檢校量表( 林以正，民74) 的反應，區分為高自
我檢校者及低自我檢校者，預測只有低自我檢校者在預期討論高自我關聯
的議題時，才會有態度極化改變的現象。進行分析，亦未獲得自我檢校對
先發性態度變化的影響效果。同樣的，在類似的實驗情境中，以受試者在
自我意識(self-consciousness)量表上的反應，將受試者所做的區分，亦
未得到任何預測結果。本研究據此討論Cialdini等人研究結果的外延效度
，以及自我檢校、自我意識對先發性態度變化影響的推論。

The major purpose of this present study is to examine the
effects of "self-monitoring" personality variable on
anticipatory attitude changes. It was hypothesized that when
the high self-monitors are anticipated to discuss an issue
with someone who stands on the opposite position,they would
moderate their attitudes in advance no matter whether the issue
expected to discuss is high or low self-relevant. Based on Bond
and Hwang''s(1986) inference that Chinese are high in self-
monitoring ,we expected recruiting the Taiwanese students as
subjects would generate different results than Cialdini et al''
s(1976) original findings. However,the results of the present
study not only fail to support the hypothesis,but also are
inconsistent with Cialdiniet al''s patterns.Subjects were
regrouped as high versus low self-monitors based on their
scores on the Chinese edition of Self-Monitoring Scale
(Lin,1985),further analysis still fail to support the
predition. The external validity of the Cialdini et al.
findings and the soundness of the inferences that high self-
monitors would moderate their attitudes anticipatorily are
questioned and discussed.
