ABSTRACTUnderstanding and preventing unethical behavior is essential for social welfare. Prior research has shown that emotional processes have consequential effects on such behavior. The current work aims to unravel the mixed findings relating positive emotion to unethical behavior by suggesting that feeling gratitude may differentially influence one’s ethicality through three distinct pathways: cognitive (moral disengagement), motivational (greed), and relational (felt-security). Through our propositions, we advance a conceptual model for investigating the relationships among general positive emotion, gratitude, and unethical behavior, to gain clarity on these important connections. More broadly, researchers could use our model to illuminate a range of pathways linking gratitude and unethical behavior.KEYWORDS: GratitudePositive emotionUnethical behaviorMoral disengagementGreedFelt-security Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Additional informationFundingThis work is based partly on Junho Oh’s doctoral dissertation conducted at the School of Business and Technology Management at KAIST under the supervision of Sujin Lee; the research received financial support from the School.Notes on contributorsJunho OhJunho Oh is a PhD student in the Department of Business and Technology Management, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology.

摘要了解和预防不道德行为对社会福利至关重要。先前的研究表明,情绪过程对这种行为有相应的影响。目前的研究旨在揭示积极情绪与不道德行为之间的复杂关系,表明感恩可能通过三种不同的途径对一个人的道德产生不同的影响:认知(道德脱离)、动机(贪婪)和关系(安全感)。通过我们的命题,我们提出了一个概念模型来研究一般积极情绪、感恩和不道德行为之间的关系,以明确这些重要的联系。更广泛地说,研究人员可以利用我们的模型来阐明一系列将感恩和不道德行为联系起来的途径。关键词:感恩积极情绪不道德行为道德脱离贪婪感觉安全披露声明作者未报告潜在利益冲突。本工作部分基于Junho Oh在KAIST商业与技术管理学院在Sujin Lee的指导下进行的博士论文;这项研究得到了学院的财政支持。本文作者junho Oh是韩国科学技术院商业与技术管理系的博士生。他的研究集中在不道德行为、感恩和权力感等主题上。Ye Kang Kim是弘益大学全球商业管理系助理教授。她在韩国科学技术院获得管理学博士学位。她的研究主要集中在创造力、感恩和工作制作等主题上。她的研究成果发表在《组织行为与人类决策过程》和《美国心理学杂志》等重要期刊上。Guihyun Park,澳大利亚国立大学管理研究学院管理学副教授。她在密歇根州立大学获得组织心理学博士学位。她的研究兴趣包括人们如何对团队成员的想法和贡献做出反应;一个由个人组成的团队如何发展自己的动力;以及群体间关系和群体内部动态是如何随着时间共同进化的。她的研究成果发表在《管理发现学会》、《美国心理学家》、《应用心理学杂志》、《管理杂志》、《组织行为与人类决策过程》等重要期刊上。Sujin Lee,韩国科学技术院商业与技术管理学院组织行为学教授。她在康奈尔大学获得管理学博士学位。她在创造力、谈判、伦理决策等方面的研究成果发表在《组织行为与人类决策过程》、《国际项目管理杂志》、《实验社会心理学杂志》、《个性与社会心理学公报》等重要期刊上。

ABSTRACTResearch on women who committed crimes has not followed the same developments of males who committed crimes. The study of psychopathy and criminal lifestyle in female populations is one of the main gaps. This study aimed to better understand the construct of psychopathy among women who committed crimes, analyzing its relationship with criminal lifestyle. Sixty-three incarcerated women convicted of different crimes participated in this study. Psychopathy Checklist-Revised (PCL-R) and Lifestyle Criminality Screening Form-Revised (LSCF-R) were filled in. Females showed low scores on the total psychopathy score. The interpersonal and lifestyle facets were the highest scored, while the antisocial was the lowest scored. Positive correlations between criminal lifestyle and total psychopathy and lifestyle and antisocial facets were found. After controlling for age and criminal variables, total psychopathy and the lifestyle facet emerge as variables associated with a criminal lifestyle. These results are particularly relevant for the design of prevention and intervention policies in female offenses and for risk assessments.KEYWORDS: Criminal lifestylepsychopathywomen who committed crimesprison Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Data availability statementThe data that support the findings of this study are available from the corresponding author, MP, upon reasonable requestAdditional informationNotes on contributorsMarina PinheiroMarina Pinheiro coordinates a social project for the integration of people in situations of social vulnerability at the “la Caixa” Foundation.

ABSTRACTThis study scrutinizes the influence of certainty and uncertainty on identity and beliefs. While certainty is often perceived as positive and uncertainty as negative for an individual, this research reveals that they can operate in more nuanced ways. The focus here is understanding their effects on individuals with interconnected yet conflicting identities and beliefs. Through a case study of Antonio – a member of organized crime who also embraces identities as an artist and a migrant – narratives emerge that illustrate how these forces act upon him. Rather than merely describing how certainty and uncertainty shape involvement in organized crime, the study highlights the complexities they introduce to an individual’s various identities and beliefs systems, and reveals their alignment with specific contextual and communicative needs. This study thus holds significant implications for comprehending how attitudes toward certainty and uncertainty influence identity and belief development in a world typified by both stability and change, and how a criminal identity might intersect with other identities based on the processing of these certainties and uncertainties. Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the author(s).Ethics statementThe author declares that informed consent was obtained from all participants before they were included in the study, and no identifying information about the participants is revealed in the article.Additional informationFundingThe author(s) reported there is no funding associated with the work featured in this article.Notes on contributorsFabio Indìo Massimo PoppiFabio Indìo Massimo Poppi (BSC and MSC, Social Psychology, University of Trieste; MA, Sociocultural Linguistics, Goldsmiths College, University of London; PhD, Language and Communication Studies, UEA) is Chief Research Fellow at Vilnius Tech (Lithuania) and Research Associate Professor at the University of Łódź (Poland).
