摘要

摘要：在有关道德行为的研究中，对公正世界的信念被认为是一个重要的个人变量。然而，以往的研究发现，对公正世界的信念与不诚实行为之间关系的研究结果相互矛盾。本研究探讨了对公正世界（对自己和他人）的信念在他们从事不诚实行为的倾向中所起的作用，尤其是在强调关注自己或他人的情况下。结果表明，对他人公正世界的信念（other-BJW）能积极预测不诚实行为，而对自己公正世界的信念（self-BJW）则不能。然而，本研究还发现，当被试者的注意力集中在自己身上时，他人公正世界信念与不诚实行为之间的关联消失了。基于这些结果，我们建议未来的研究探索道德脱离的潜在中介效应。

The Role of Just-World Beliefs in Predicting Dishonest Behavior

Abstract: Belief in a just world is considered an important personal variable in studies on moral behavior. However, previous studies have found conflicting results regarding the relationship between belief in a just world and dishonest behavior. The present study examines the role of belief in a just world (for the self and others) in their tendency to engage in dishonest behavior, especially in situations highlighting attention for either the self or others. The results indicated that the belief in a just world for others (other-BJW) positively predicted dishonest behavior, whereas the belief in a just world for self (self-BJW) did not. However, the present study also found that the association between other-BJW and dishonesty disappeared when participants’ attention was focused on themselves. Based on these results, we suggest that future studies explore the potential mediating effects of moral disengagement.
