Abstract
Motivated by theoretical accounts positing that participation in intergroup conflict is driven by a desire to promote the in-group, past studies have explored the link between prosocial personality dimensions and out-group harm. However, while dimensions such as Honesty-Humility predict in-group cooperation, they do not explain out-group harm. Across two incentivized experimental studies (one preregistered; overall N = 1,584), we show that out-group harm is uniquely associated with higher levels of the Dark Factor of Personality (D), a personality dimension capturing the core of all aversive personality characteristics. Conversely, high levels of D, alongside low levels of Honesty-Humility, are associated with less in-group cooperation. Our results show that in-group cooperation and out-group harm are associated with distinct personality dimensions.
有理论认为，参与群体间冲突的动机是为了促进本群体的利益，受此理论的驱动，过去的研究探索了亲社会人格维度与群体外伤害之间的联系。然而，虽然诚实-谦逊等人格维度可以预测群内合作，但却无法解释群外伤害。通过两项激励实验研究（其中一项是预先注册的，总人数=1,584），我们发现，群体外伤害与较高的人格黑暗因子（D）水平有独特的关联，D是一个人格维度，捕捉了所有厌恶型人格特征的核心。相反，高水平的 D 与低水平的诚实-谦逊（Honesty-Humility）与较少的群内合作相关。我们的研究结果表明，群内合作和群外伤害与不同的人格维度有关。
期刊介绍：
Social Psychological and Personality Science (SPPS) is a distinctive journal in the fields of social and personality psychology that focuses on publishing brief empirical study reports, typically limited to 5000 words. The journal's mission is to disseminate research that significantly contributes to the advancement of social psychological and personality science. It welcomes submissions that introduce new theories, present empirical data, propose innovative methods, or offer a combination of these elements. SPPS also places a high value on replication studies, giving them serious consideration regardless of whether they confirm or challenge the original findings, with a particular emphasis on replications of studies initially published in SPPS. The journal is committed to a rapid review and publication process, ensuring that research can swiftly enter the scientific discourse and become an integral part of ongoing academic conversations.
