摘要: 为探讨道德推脱在青少年受欺凌与恶意创造力之间的中介作用，以及自尊和性别在其中的调节作用，采用欺凌受害量表、道德推脱量表、恶意创造力量表及自尊量表对1223名青少年进行调查。结果发现：(1)受欺凌与恶意创造力呈显著正相关；(2) 道德推脱在受欺凌与恶意创造力之间的关联中表现出显著的间接关联作用(间接效应占总效应的13.37%)；(3) 自尊显著调节“受欺凌→道德推脱”与“道德推脱→恶意创造力”两条路径；(4) 上述调节效应存在性别差异。研究结果表明，道德推脱可能是受欺凌与恶意创造力之间的重要关联机制，自尊与性别与上述关联过程存在显著联系。本研究为青少年校园欺凌的干预与心理健康教育提供了参考依据。
Abstract: To examine the mediating role of moral disengagement in the relationship between bullying victimization and malevolent creativity among adolescents, as well as the moderating effects of self-esteem and gender, 1,223 adolescents were assessed using the Bullying Victimization Scale, Moral Disengagement Scale, Malevolent Creativity Scale, and Self-Esteem Scale. The results showed that: (1) bullying victimization was positively associated with malevolent creativity; (2) the findings supported an indirect association through moral disengagement between bullying victimization and malevolent creativity, with the indirect effect accounting for 13.37% of the total effect; (3) self-esteem significantly moderated both the path from bullying victimization to moral disengagement and the path from moral disengagement to malevolent creativity; and (4) these moderating effects differed by gender. The findings suggest that moral disengagement is an important psychological mechanism through which bullying victimization is linked to malevolent creativity, and that self-esteem and gender further shape this process. This study provides empirical evidence for interventions targeting school bullying and adolescent mental health education.
