Małgorzata Sibińska Dwubiegunowy system regulacji C.S.Cravera a uczucia związane z sukcesem i porażką

Abstrakt

The main goal of this study was the analysis of approaching and avoidance
system, according to C.S. Carver model, concerning feelings connected with success
and failure. Both success and failure were treated as an effective approaching and effective
avoidance or ineffective approaching and ineffective avoidance. The research
group consisted of people who are doing the sport pools (STS) and for whom such
experience as success and failure is close. Applying the Self – Confrontation Method,
invented by Hubert J.M. Hermans, allowed to receive idiographic material about
those experiences and allowed to analyze the valuation system and various kind of
affective components connected with approaching or avoidance system. The analysis
of success valuations (both approaching or avoidance situation) allowed to find that
success is an opportunity to strive for self – enhancement, to raise self – esteem and it
gives satisfaction from doing well. Nevertheless, there are differences in experienced
feelings. A greater diversity is observed according to approaching system, where both
success and failure are different from avoidance system. Moreover, both systems differ
from each other in experience negative feelings during success situation. That shows,
how ambiguous success situation is.
