摘要: 目的：探讨大学生的资源稀缺感与恶意创造力之间的关系，并考察自我损耗的中介作用及特质内疚的调节作用。方法：采用大学生贫穷感问卷、自我调节疲劳量表、恶意创造力行为量表及内疚评定问卷对919名大学生进行测量。结果：大学生的资源稀缺感显著正向预测恶意创造力；自我损耗在二者之间发挥部分中介作用；特质内疚在大学生的资源稀缺感与恶意创造力的直接路径中发挥调节作用。结论：大学生的资源稀缺感可能与恶意创造力的提升有关，其中自我损耗可能是二者关联的心理机制；同时，较高水平的特质内疚可能削弱资源稀缺感与恶意创造力之间的关联。
Abstract: Objective: This study aimed to examine the relationship between resource scarcity and malevolent creativity among college students, as well as the mediating role of ego depletion and the moderating role of trait guilt. Methods: A questionnaire survey was conducted among 919 college students. Data were collected using the Perceived Poverty Scale for College Students, the Self-Regulatory Fatigue Scale, the Malevolent Creativity Behavior Scale, and the Guilt Inventory. Results: Resource scarcity among college students significantly and positively predicted malevolent creativity. Ego depletion partially mediated the relationship between resource scarcity and malevolent creativity. Trait guilt moderated the direct association between resource scarcity and malevolent creativity among college students. Conclusion: Resource scarcity among college students may be associated with higher levels of malevolent creativity, and ego depletion may represent a psychological mechanism underlying this association. Meanwhile, higher levels of trait guilt may weaken the association between resource scarcity and malevolent creativity.
