大学生共情对利他行为的影响:一个有调节的中介模型

探究大学生共情、幸福感和神经质对利他行为的影响,为促进大学生利他行为提供依据。采用方便取样,选取辽宁省某高校选修课程学生273名,完成中文版人际反应指针量表、神经质人格问卷、幸福感指数量表和大学生利他行为问卷。结果显示:(1) 神经质在共情和利他行为之间起着部分中介作用,也就是说,共情既对利他行为产生直接影响,也通过神经质间接地影响着利他行为;(2) 幸福感是神经质部分中介共情和利他行为关系的调节变量。幸福感调节的是中介作用的后半路径,即共情通过神经质对利他行为的间接效应受到幸福感的调节。具体的说,相对于低幸福感的大学生,间接效应对于高幸福感的大学生更加显著。因此,共情对利他行为的影响是有调节的中介效应。研究结论对增强大学生利他行为有重要的理论价值和实践指导价值。

Effect of Empathy on College Students' Altruistic Behavior: A Moderated Mediation Model

Present study constructed a moderated mediation model in which neuroticism mediated the relationship between empathy and altruistic behavior, and this mediation effect was moderated by well.being. A sample of 273 college students was recruited in the present study to complete questionnaire measures of empathy, altruistic behavior, Neuroticism and Well.Being. The results indicated that: (1) Neuroticism played partial mediating effect between empathy and altruistic behavior. Empathy not only had a direct influence on altruistic behavior, but also affected altruistic behavior indirectly by neuroticism; (2) Well.being moderated the mediation path through altruistic behavior, such that this indirect effect was much stronger for college students with high well.being relative to those with low well.being. Therefore, both mediating and moderating effects exist in the association between empathy and altruistic behavior. These findings had important theoretical and reference value to increase altruistic behavior for college students.
