Everyone wants to be authentic. You want to be true to yourself, not a slavish follower of social expectations. You want to "live your best life," pursuing your particular desires, rather than falling in line with whatever everyone else thinks happiness requires. Studies have even shown that feelings of authenticity can go hand in hand with numerous psychological and social benefits: higher self-esteem, greater well-being, better romantic relationships and enhanced work performance.
Although most people would define authenticity as acting in accordance with your own set of values and qualities, research has shown that people feel most authentic when they conform to a particular set of socially approved qualities, such as being extroverted, emotionally stable, conscientious, intellectual and agreeable. This is the paradox of authenticity: In order to reap the many of the benefits of feeling authentic, you may have to betray your true nature.
From a psychological science standpoint, a person is considered authentic if he or she meets certain criteria. Authentic people have considerable self-knowledge and are motivated to learn more about themselves. They are equally interested in understanding their strengths and weaknesses, and they are willing to honestly reflect on feedback regardless of whether it is flattering or unflattering. Above all, authentic people behave in line with their unique values and qualities even if those characteristics may conflict with social conventions or other external influences.
But a number of studies have shown that people’s feelings of authenticity are often shaped by something other than their loyalty to their unique qualities. Paradoxically, feelings of authenticity seem to be related to a kind of social conformity. The research also finds that people report feeling most authentic when their behavior confirms to a specific pattern of qualities: namely, when they are extroverted, emotionally stable, conscientious, intellectual and agreeable.
So, when it comes time to actually make a judgment about our own authenticity, we may use criteria that are closer to how we judge the authenticity of an object such as food. A fruit tiramisu may be unique, but the authenticity of tiramisu is judged by its conformity to a conventional recipe. Similarly, it appears that the more we conform to social conventions about how a person should act, the more authentic we feel.
We want to believe that authenticity will bring us benefits. It’s not surprising that businesses such as Microsoft, BlueCross BlueShield, and Gap have worked with consultants to leverage authenticity in the workplace. However, until we learn more about whether being authentic reaps the same benefits as feeling authentic, we are left with a tough decision between loyalty to our true selves and conformity to social convention.
According to Paragraph 3, a person is regarded authentic most probably because he________.
选项
A、meets some principles from psychology
B、is willing to learn more about himself
C、adheres to his own features which may contradict traditions
D、understands others’ willingness to give feedback
答案
C
解析
根据题干信息Paragraph 3定位至第三段,题干中提到了most probably证明一个人被认为是真实的不止要满足一个条件。第三段前三句是从心理学角度定义真实的人。第四句中above all(最重要的是)和题干中的most probably一致,authentic people behave in line with their unique values and qualities(真实的人按照自己独特的价值观和品质行事),even if…conflict with social conventions or other external influences(即使……与社会惯例或其他外部影响相矛盾)。C项中adheres to his own features与文中in line with their unique values and qualities为同义替换,contradict traditions与文中conflict with social conventions为同义替换,故C项为答案。选项A来自于第三段第一句,即从心理学角度出发应该如何定义authentic,但并未体现题干中most的用意,故排除;选项B定位来自第三段第二句,与选项A一样不符合题于中most的用意,故排除;D项把第三段中willing to honestly reflect on feedback等信息拼凑,意思与原文不符,故也可排除。
