• TITLE: Understanding Hubris in Failure Situations

  AUTHORS: Yifan Liao

  KEYWORDS: Hubris, Failure Situation, Emotion Understanding

  ABSTRACT: Hubris reflects an individual’s exaggeration of self-worth and seems unlikely to be present in situations of failure. In present studies, situational stories were used as materials to investigate how adults perceive hubris in failure situations. The results showed that: 1) Participants rated the protagonist who denied failure higher in hubris compared to the protagonist who admitted failure. 2) Participants believed that protagonists who failed due to their own factors experienced more hubris than those who failed due to external factors. This paper highlighted the presence of hubris in failure situations and how it was influenced by the protagonist’s defensive behavior and attribution cues within the context.
