doi:10.12139/j.1672-0628.2022.04.019

Abstract

Abstract: A questionnaire survey was conducted among 676 college students in Guangdong Province to explore the influence of emotional intelligence and malicious creativity, with emphasis on the mediating role of aggressive behavior and the moderating role of forgiveness. The results showed that: 1) emotional intelligence was negatively correlated with malicious creativity; 2) aggressive behavior mediated the relationship between emotional intelligence and malicious creativity; 3) forgiveness significantly moderated the relationship between aggressive behavior and malicious creativity. Specifically, compared with college students with high forgiveness level, aggressive behavior had a greater impact on the malicious creativity of college students with low forgiveness level.

Key words: emotional intelligence, malicious creativity, aggressive behavior, forgiveness, college students

摘要： 采用问卷法对广东省676名大学生进行调查，深入探讨了情绪智力影响恶意创造力的路径，重点考察了攻击行为的中介作用和宽恕的调节作用。结果显示：（1）情绪智力与恶意创造力显著负相关；（2）攻击行为在情绪智力与恶意创造力之间起中介作用；（3）宽恕可以显著调节攻击行为与恶意创造力之间的关系。具体而言，相比于高宽恕水平的大学生，攻击行为对低宽恕水平大学生的恶意创造力的影响更大。
