社会心理学家认为,“马太效应”是个既有消极作用又有积极作用的社会心理现象。其消极作用是:名人与未出名者干出同样的成绩,前者往往上级表扬,记者采访,求教者和访问者接踵而至,各种桂冠也一顶接一顶地飘来,结果往往使其中一些人因没有清醒地自我认识和没有理智态度而居功自傲,在人生的道路上跌跟头;而后者则无人问津,甚至还会遭受非难和妒忌。 Social psychologists believe that “Matthew effect ” is a negative and positive social psychology phenomenon. Its negative effect is: celebrities and unnamed people do the same score, the former often higher commendation, press interviews, seeking teachers and visitors followed, all kinds of laurels also come one after another, the result is often so that Some people are proud of themselves without a clear self-awareness and without reason. They fall by the ways of life, while the latter are unattended and even suffer from censure and jealousy.
