Abstract

Corruption is a political and economic issue that has a detrimental impact on social and economic development. This study investigated the predictive effect of dispositional awe on corruption, and the underlying mechanisms from the perspective of connectedness. A sample of 548 (N_female = 371) individuals, aged between 16 and 71 years old (M = 21.18, SD = 3.39), was collected. Participants completed scales to measure dispositional awe, the sense of connectedness, corruption, and social desirability. Structural equation modelling and a bootstrap procedure were used to analyze the relationship between the variables. Results showed that dispositional awe negatively predicted corruption, including the tendencies for giving and accepting bribes, and this could be explained by the sense of connectedness, after controlling for the effect of social desirability. The findings highlight the significance of dispositional awe in relation to corruption, enhance our understanding of the underlying mechanisms connecting the two variables, and provide practical implications for the prevention of corruption.

敬畏感会通过联系感对腐败产生负面预测。

腐败是一个政治和经济问题，对社会和经济发展具有不利影响。本研究从关联性的角度探讨了敬畏感对腐败的预测效应及其内在机制。研究共收集了 548 个样本（女性 = 371），年龄介于 16 岁至 71 岁之间（中位数 = 21.18，标准差 = 3.39）。参与者完成了测量处置敬畏感、联系感、腐败和社会理想度的量表。研究采用结构方程模型和引导程序来分析变量之间的关系。结果表明，人格敬畏对腐败（包括行贿和受贿倾向）有负面预测作用，在控制了社会宜人性的影响后，这可以用联系感来解释。研究结果凸显了性情敬畏与腐败之间的重要关系，加深了我们对这两个变量之间内在联系机制的理解，并为预防腐败提供了现实意义。
