Abstract:
This paper explores the relationship between Machiavellianist personality and college students’ honesty, and the role of emotional and moral identity between them. A total of 579 college students were tested using the Big Six Personality Scale, the Machiavellianist Person Scale, the Positive and Negative Emotions Scale, and the Honesty Scale. The results showed that: (1) Machiavellianist personality was positively correlated with negative emotions and honesty, and negatively correlated with positive emotions and moral identity. (2) Positive emotions and negative emotions play a significant role in mediating the relationship between Machiavellianist personality and honesty. (3) Moral identity plays a significant moderating role in the relationship between positive emotion, negative emotion and honesty. Conclusion: Machiavellianist personality can not only directly predict honesty positively, but also affect honest behavior through positive emotions, negative emotions, and moral identity.
探究马基雅维利主义人格与大学生诚实之间的关系,以及情绪和道德认同在二者之间的作用。采用大六人格量表、马基雅维利主义人量表、正负性情绪量表、诚实量表对579名大学生进行测查。结果表明:(1)马基雅维利主义人格与消极情绪以及不诚实显著正相关,与积极情绪、道德认同显著负相关。(2)积极情绪、消极情绪在马基雅维利主义人格与诚实之间的中介作用显著。(3)道德认同在积极情绪、消极情绪与诚实之间的调节作用显著。结论:马基雅维利主义人格既可以直接正向预测不诚实,也可以通过积极情绪、消极情绪、道德认同来影响诚实。
