這項研究探討了負面評價恐懼、社會期望反應、自信心及知覺壓力之間的關係，並聚焦於自信心的中介作用和知覺壓力的調節作用，樣本數為299人。本研究依據壓力與調適的互動模型進行。研究結果顯示，自信心在負面評價恐懼對社會期望反應的影響中起到了中介作用，強化的自信心能顯著減少負面評價恐懼的影響。然而，研究也發現，高水平的知覺壓力可能削弱自信心在管理社交印象中的有效性。這些結果對心理學和組織行為學科具有重要貢獻，強調了管理自信心和壓力以促進更真實有效的社交互動的重要性。這項研究強調，在高度需要正面自我展現的環境中，增強自信心和壓力管理的干預措施尤為必要。這些發現對於理解個體行為和社交以及組織環境中的互動方式具有關鍵意義。

The study investigates the dynamics among fear of negative evaluation (FNE), socially desirable responding (SDR), self-confidence, and perceived stress in a sample of 299 respondents. It focuses on the mediating role of self-confidence and the moderating effect of perceived stress. The findings demonstrate that self-confidence mediates the influence of FNE on SDR, illustrating that enhanced self-confidence can significantly reduce the effects of FNE on SDR. However, the study also finds that high levels of perceived stress can compromise the efficacy of self-confidence in managing social impressions. These results contribute to psychological and organizational disciplines by highlighting the importance of managing self-confidence and stress to foster more authentic and effective social interactions. This research underscores the necessity for interventions that enhance self-confidence and stress management, especially in environments where there is a high demand for positive self-presentation. The implications are critical in understanding how individual behaviors and interactions are shaped within social and organizational settings.
