Abstract

Recent research suggests that moral behavior attracts more praise, and immoral behavior less blame, when the agent has suffered in childhood. In this article we report results from three studies in which a fictional character's childhood was described in terms of either neglect and abuse (Adversity condition), love and care (Prosperity condition), or neutrally (Control condition). In Study 1 (N = 248), participants in the Adversity condition attributed more praise to a fictional character relative to other conditions. In Study 2 (N = 275), participants in the Adversity condition attributed more praise and less blame relative to other conditions, with the effects mediated by self-expressivity. In Study 3 (N = 275), where the character was female rather than male, there was no effect of condition on praise, but there was an effect of condition on blame, and this effect was mediated by self-expressivity and social-emotional impairment.
变形经验:解释逆境对道德评价的影响
最近的研究表明,当行为者在童年遭受痛苦时,道德行为会吸引更多的赞扬,而不道德行为则会受到更少的指责。在这篇文章中,我们报告了三个研究的结果,其中一个虚构人物的童年被描述为忽视和虐待(逆境条件),爱和照顾(繁荣条件)或中立(控制条件)。在研究1 (N = 248)中,相对于其他条件,逆境条件下的参与者对虚构人物给予了更多的赞扬。在研究2 (N = 275)中,逆境条件下的参与者相对于其他条件下的表扬更多,责备更少,这种效应由自我表达介导。在研究3 (N = 275)中,当角色为女性而非男性时,条件对表扬没有影响,但条件对责备有影响,并且这种影响是由自我表达和社会情感障碍介导的。
