36、, youre hardly alone. But why are we drawn to gossip?A new study suggests its because the rumors are all about us. “Gossip receivers tend to use positive and negative group information to improve, promote, and protect the self,“ writes a research team led by Elena Martinescu of the University of Gro
37、ningen in the Netherlands. In the journal Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, the researchers describe two experiments testing the personal value gossip receivers get.The first featured 178 university undergraduates who had all previously worked on at least one course assignment with a group
38、 of four or more students. Participants were asked to recall and write a short description of an incident in which a group members shared with them either positive or negative information about another group members secret. They then reported their level of agreement with a series of statements. Som
39、e of these measured the self-improvement value of the gossip (“The information received made me think I can learn a lot from X“); others measured its self-promotion value (“The information I received made me feel that I am doing well compared to X“). Still others measured whether the gossip raised p
40、ersonal concerns (“The information I received made me feel that I must protect my image in the group“).In the second experiment,122 undergraduates were assigned the role of “sales agent“ at a major company. They received gossip from a colleague that a third person either did very well or very badly
41、at a performance evaluation, and were then asked about the emotions that information caused. They also responded to the above-mentioned set of statements presented to participants in the first experiment.In each experiment, participants found both negative and positive gossip to be of personal value
42、 with different reasons. “Positive gossip has self-improvement value,“ they write. “Competence-related positive gossip about others contains lessons about how to improve ones own competence.“ On the other hand, negative gossip has self-promotion value, because it provides individuals with social com
43、parison information that justifies self-promoting judgments which results in feelings of pride.“ In addition, the results “showed that negative gossip elicited self-protection concerns,“ the researchers write. “Negative gossip makes people concerned that their reputations may be at risk, as they may
44、 personally become targets of negative gossip in the future, which generates fear.“ Fear is hardly a pleasant sensation(感觉), but it can be a motivating one. As researchers put it: “Gossip conveniently provides individuals with indirect social-comparison information about relevant others.“58. Why are
45、 we drawn to gossip according to the researchers?A. We need evaluative information about others to evaluate ourselves.B. We are interested in the news that arouses our personal concerns.C. We tend to gain a sense of pride from judging others.D. We are likely to learn lessons from others mistakes.59.
46、 According to the first experiment, which of the following shows self-promotion value?A. Ive done better than Mary according to what Tom said about her.B.
