Abstract

The purpose of this study was to explain the mediator role of relational aggression between schadenfreude and personality traits through the path model. Dark traits, agreeableness and hostility as personality factors are thought to be related to relational aggression according to General Aggression Model. Thus, the model was proposed by the author which included direct and indirect effects of personality factors on relational aggression and schadenfreude. 306 adults completed an online survey comprising dark triad, Proactive/Reactive Relational Aggression, agreeableness, and hostility scales and author-generated measure of expressed schadenfreude. Path analysis revealed that schadenfreude was predicted by only reactive but not with proactive relational aggression. Moreover, schadenfreude was predicted by the dark triad indirectly through reactive relational aggression. The dark triad was also predicted by agreeableness and hostility. Although reactive and proactive relational aggression were predicted by agreeableness and hostility, only reactive agression had a mediator role between personality traits (agreeableness, dark triad, hostility) and schadenfreude. Findings and implications for the future research were discussed. Limitations of the current study were also mentioned.
通过人格因素和关系攻击理解幸灾乐祸
本研究旨在通过路径模型解释幸灾乐祸与人格特质之间关系攻击的中介作用。根据一般攻击模型,黑暗特征、宜人性和敌意作为人格因素被认为与关系攻击有关。因此,作者提出了包含人格因素对关系攻击和幸灾乐祸的直接和间接影响的模型。306名成年人完成了一项在线调查,包括黑暗人格、主动/反应性关系攻击、宜人性和敌意量表,以及作者自编的幸灾乐祸表达量表。通径分析显示,幸灾乐祸只被被动的关系攻击所预测,而不被主动的关系攻击所预测。此外,黑暗人格特质通过反应性关系攻击间接预测了幸灾乐祸。亲和性和敌意也预示着黑暗三位一体。虽然反应性和主动性的关系攻击可以通过友善性和敌意来预测,但只有反应性攻击在人格特质(友善性、黑暗三合一、敌意)和幸灾乐祸之间起中介作用。讨论了研究结果及对未来研究的启示。同时也提到了本研究的局限性。
