道德自我知觉的提升对道德行为的影响存在道德一致性效应与道德心理许可效应两种矛盾现象，造成这种不一致结果的原因可能是解释水平在其中起到调节作用。本研究通过两个实验考察了解释水平在道德自我知觉提升与欺骗行为关系中的调节作用。实验1和实验2分别以179名和192名大学生为被试，采用数字矩阵任务测量欺骗行为，采用过去时间距离和未来时间距离操纵解释水平。结果发现：高解释水平下(较远的过去、未来)，道德自我知觉启动组的欺骗行为显著低于道德自我知觉未启动组，而低解释水平下(较近的过去、未来)，道德自我知觉启动组的欺骗行为显著高于道德自我知觉未启动组。因此，解释水平调节道德自我知觉对欺骗行为的影响，即高解释水平下，道德自我知觉提升产生了道德一致性效应；而低解释水平下，道德自我知觉提升产生了道德心理许可效应。

There are two contradictory phenomena in the impact of the improvement of moral self-perception on moral behavior: moral consistency effect and moral psychological licensing effect, which may be caused by the moderating role of construal level. The present research therefore explored the moderating role of construal level in the relationship between moral self-perception and deceptive behavior through two experiments. We recruited 179 and 192 college students in Experiment 1 and Experiment 2 respectively. A paper-and-pencil matrix task was used to measure deceptive behavior, and past and future temporal distance was used to activate the corresponding construal level separately. The results showed that under the condition of high construal level (i.e., distant past and distant future), the deceptive behavior of the moral self-perception priming group was significantly lower than that of the moral self-perception non-production group, which discloses moral consistency effect. While under the condition of low construal level (i.e., near past and near future), the deceptive behavior of the moral self-perception priming group was significantly higher than that of the moral self-perception non-production group, which discloses moral psychological licensing effect. These findings reveal that construal level moderates the relationship between moral self-perception and deceptive behavior, that is, under the condition of high construal level, the improvement of moral self-perception produces a moral consistency effect; while under the condition of low construal level, the improvement of moral self-perception produces a moral psychological licensing effect.
