The Face of the Big Self and the Face of the Small Self Affecting In-terpersonal Relationship Satisfaction:The Role of Face Exchange
To explore the relationship between the Big Self s face gaining,the Small Self s face gaining,and interpersonal relationship satisfaction,as well as the role of face exchange in this process,611 undergraduate students of different age groups were surveyed using the Big Self s face gaining scale,the Small Self s face gaining scale,the Interpersonal Relationship Comprehensive Diagnostic Scale,and the Face Exchange Questionnaire.The results showed as follows:a significant negative correlation between age and the competition for face among older individuals;a significant positive correlation between the competition for face and satisfaction with interpersonal relationships,as well as face exchange;a significant negative correlation between personal face gaining and interpersonal relationship satisfaction,and a significant positive correlation with face exchange;the act of enhancing face in face exchange partially mediates the relationship between the ego's desire for face and interpersonal satisfaction.From this,it can be seen that competing for face has a posi-tive impact on interpersonal satisfaction through face exchange.
