Abstract

Abstract Two direct replication studies were conducted to investigate the associations of psychopathic traits with engagement in COVID‐19 prevention behavior and motivational reasons for engaging in such behavior. College undergraduate students completed two self‐report measures of psychopathic traits based on the four‐factor conceptualization of psychopathy (callous affect, manipulative tendency, erratic lifestyle, criminal tendency) and the triarchic conceptualization of psychopathy (meanness, disinhibition, boldness). Participants then reported the degree to which they engaged in COVID‐19 prevention behavior currently and in the past, and reported their self‐focused and other‐focused motivational reasons for doing so. Results aggregated across both studies ( N = 292) revealed that traits reflecting emotional callousness and impulsivity independently predicted lower levels of other‐focused reasons for engaging in prevention behavior. Moreover, controlling for other‐focused reasons appreciably reduced negative associations of emotional callousness and impulsivity with prevention behavior. The results provide insight into points of convergence in conceptualization and measurement of psychopathy from multiple theoretical perspectives and the importance of considering the impact of divisive personality traits on motivation to protect others during pandemics.

精神病和COVID - 19:参与预防行为的麻木、冲动和动机原因
摘要通过两项直接复制研究,探讨精神病特征与参与COVID - 19预防行为的关系以及参与此类行为的动机原因。基于四因素精神病概念(冷酷情感、操纵倾向、不稳定的生活方式、犯罪倾向)和三因素精神病概念(卑鄙、去抑制、大胆),大学生完成了两项精神病特征自述量表。然后,参与者报告了他们目前和过去参与COVID - 19预防行为的程度,并报告了他们这样做的自我关注和其他关注的动机原因。两项研究的综合结果(N = 292)显示,反映情感麻木和冲动的特征独立地预测了参与预防行为的其他集中原因的较低水平。此外,控制其他聚焦的原因显著降低了情绪麻木和冲动与预防行为的负相关。这些结果从多个理论角度提供了对精神病概念化和测量的趋同点的见解,以及考虑分裂人格特征对流行病期间保护他人动机的影响的重要性。
