摘要/Abstract

摘要：

积极的道德情绪如感恩有诸多正面作用，但尚不清楚其对恶意创造力的影响。通过2个调查研究和1个实验研究考察感恩对恶意创造力的影响及其作用机制。结果发现：(1)特质感恩负向预测恶意创造力；(2)道德推脱在特质感恩对恶意创造力的影响中起部分中介作用；(3)黑暗人格调节了状态感恩对道德推脱的影响，只有在黑暗人格特质水平较高时，“状态感恩−道德推脱−恶意创造力”的间接效应才显著。研究结果凸显了感恩对预防和减弱个体的恶意创造力的重要作用并揭示了其内在机制。

Abstract:

Positive moral emotions, such as gratitude, have numerous positive effects, but it remains unclear how they affect malevolent creativity. This study examined the effects of gratitude on malevolent creativity and its underlying mechanisms through two survey studies and one experimental study. The results showed that: 1) trait gratitude negatively predicted malevolent creativity; 2) moral disengagement partially mediated the effect of trait gratitude on malevolent creativity; 3) dark personality moderated the effect of state gratitude on moral disengagement, with an indirect effect of “state gratitude-moral disengagement-malevolent creativity” being significant when the level of dark personality was high. The findings highlight the important role of gratitude in preventing and reducing individuals’ malevolent creativity and reveal the underlying mechanisms.

Key words: trait gratitude, state gratitude, malevolent creativity, moral disengagement, dark personality
