“评论冷静期”:自我控制在道德自我觉察预测网络不道德行为中的中介作用

“Cooling-Off Period for Commenting”: The Mediate Effect of Self-Control on the Process of Moral Conviction Predicting Immoral Behavior in the Network

由于网络的匿名性和间接性等特点,难于监管的网络不道德行为会导致一系列的社会问题。有研究表明,道德自我觉察能够抵御网络不良示范性规范对网络不道德行为倾向的消极影响,但是道德自我觉察降低网络不道德行为的过程仍不清楚。作为影响道德行为的自我控制能否作为道德自我觉察影响网络不道德行为的中介变量?为此,本研究采用假设情境问卷方法(N = 208),探讨了自我控制在道德自我觉察预测网络不道德行为中的中介作用。结果表明,道德自我觉察显著负向预测网络不道德行为,自我控制在道德自我觉察预测网络不道德行为中起中介作用。

Due to the anonymity and indirectness of the Internet, immoral behavior in the network, which is difficult to be regulated, can lead to a series of social problems. Some studies have shown that moral conviction can counteract the negative effects of undesirable online exemplary norms on the tendency to behave unethically online, but the process of how moral conviction reduces im-moral behavior in the network remains unclear. Can self-control as an influence on ethical beha-vior serve as a mediating variable for moral conviction to influence immoral behavior in the network? To this end, this study used a hypothetical contextual questionnaire approach (N = 208) to explore the mediating role of self-control in moral conviction in predicting immoral behavior in the network. The results indicated that moral conviction could significantly negatively predict immoral behavior in the network and self-control mediated the role of moral beliefs in predicting immoral behavior in the network.
