初中生创造性人格与说谎行为的联系:自尊的作用

The Linkage between Pupils' Creative Personality and Dishonesty in Junior School:The Distinct Roles of Explicit and Implicit Self-Esteem

创造力一直被普遍视为促进社会与个人进步的积极力量,但对其消极后果却所知甚少。研究从创造力的阴暗面入手,以123名初二学生为被试,探讨了创造性人格与个体说谎行为的联系,并进一步考察了外显/内隐自尊结构在其中发挥的区别性作用。结果表明:(1)初中生的创造性人格与其说谎行为出现的可能性呈显著正相关,为创造力与道德的关系提供了更充分的证据;(2)外显自尊与内隐自尊是两个独立的结构;(3)不同自尊结构组被试创造性人格与说谎行为的相关程度不存在显著差异,自尊结构在创造性人格与说谎行为之间未发现明显的调节作用。

Creativity is side of creativity typically considered beneficial for individuals and the society in general. Here, however, the dark is highlighted. 123 junior school students were investigated to test whether creative personality in- creased dishonesty and the influence of self-esteem structure on their linkage. The results showed ： 1 ） Participants with obvious creative personality tended to lie more than less creative individuals; 2） Explicit self-esteem was posi- tively related to creative personality, while implicit self-esteem was negatively related to dishonesty; 3 ） The linkage of creative personality and dishonesty of participants with different self-esteem structure did not differ significantly. The modeating effect of self-esteem structure was not obvious in this experiment.
