Abstract
This research was designed to study how the relational other’s feeling of face might be affected by his/her role relationship with the actor, his/her affective relationship with the actor, and actor’s achievement on different types of task. Based on an intensive review of literatures on Chinese concept of face, it is hypothesized that (1) the actor’s achievement has the most significant impact on his/her parents’ feeling of face, which is followed by his/her teacher, and the least impact on his/her peers; (2)The affective relationship between two parties has no significant influence on the parents’ feeling of face as response to the actor’s achievement, but it has a significant impact on teacher’s and peer’s feeling of face. (3) The actor’s achievement of vertical distinctiveness may cast greater impact on parents’ and teacher’s feeling of having face or losing face. But, peers’ feeling of face depended on the nature of task: When the actor succeeded in achieving horizontal distinctiveness, his peers may enhance of feeling of having face, when he failed in pursing vertical distinctiveness, his peers may have a feeling of losing face, scenarios were constructed on the basis of this concept framework, and a questionnaire was developed as instrument as research instrument. Results of experiment generally support the aforementioned hypotheses.
