Abstract

Abstract:

To explore the effect of parental psychological control on malevolent creativity and its psychological mechanism, 623 vocational school students were investigated by questionnaire survey. The results showed that: 1) parental psychological control positively predicted malevolent creativity; 2) anger rumination partially mediated the relationship between parental psychological control and malevolent creativity; 3) resilience significantly moderated the relationship between parental psychological control and anger rumination in the indirect effect of mediation model; resilience significantly moderated the relationship between parental psychological control and malevolent creativity in the direct effect of mediation model. The results suggest that reducing parental psychological control and decreasing anger rumination, as well as enhancing resilience, are all effective ways to reduce malevolent creativity among vocational school students.

Key words: parental psychological control, malevolent creativity, anger rumination, resilience, vocational school student

摘要：

为了探讨父母心理控制对中职生恶意创造力的作用及其心理机制，采用问卷法对623名中职生进行了调查。结果发现：(1)父母心理控制对中职生恶意创造力具有显著的正向预测作用；(2)愤怒反刍在父母心理控制与恶意创造力之间起部分中介作用；(3)心理韧性调节了愤怒反刍中介效应的前半路径(父母心理控制→愤怒反刍)和直接路径(父母心理控制→恶意创造力)。结果表明，降低父母心理控制，减少中职生的愤怒反刍和增强中职生的心理韧性都是降低恶意创造力的有效途径。
