利他主义与反社会行为之间的关系受到的关注有限,因为利他主义和反社会行为往往在不同的文献中进行研究和讨论。我们的研究通过关注三个基本问题来连接这些文献。首先,利他主义和反社会行为是一个维度的两端,还是它们可以在同一个人身上共存?第二,利他主义和反社会行为有相同或不同的病因吗?第三,他们是从一个人性格的相同方面还是不同方面来的?我们的研究结果表明,利他主义和反社会行为是不同来源的不相关倾向。利他主义主要与共享(即家庭)环境、独特(即非家庭)环境和反映积极情绪的人格特征有关,而反社会行为主要与基因、独特环境和反映消极情绪和缺乏约束的人格特征有关。
The relationship between altruism and antisocial behavior has received limited attention because altruism and antisocial behavior tend to be studied and discussed in distinct literatures. Our research bridges these literatures by focusing on three fundamental questions. First, are altruism and antisocial behavior opposite ends of a single dimension, or can they coexist in the same individual? Second, do altruism and antisocial behavior have the same or distinct etiologies? Third, do they stern from the same or from distinct aspects of a person's personality? Our findings indicate that altruism and antisocial behavior are uncorrelated tendencies stemming from different sources. Whereas altruism was linked primarily to shared (i.e., familial) environments, unique (i.e., nonfamilial) environments, and personality traits reflecting positive emotionality, antisocial behavior was linked primarily to genes, unique environments, and personality traits reflecting negative emotionality and a lack of constraint.
