本研究考察了宜人性、自我超越价值观和移情自我效能信念如何预测个体的亲社会行为倾向（即，时间上的（prosociality）。参与者为340名年轻人，190名女性和150名男性，时间1时年龄约为21岁，时间2时年龄约为25岁。在两个时间点收集宜人性、自我超越、共情自我效能信念和亲社会性的测量结果。研究结果证实了假设的关系路径，宜人性直接预测自我超越，间接预测共情自我效能信念和亲社会性。自我超越在宜人性与共情自我效能信念之间起中介作用。移情自我效能信念在宜人性、自我超越和亲社会性之间起中介作用。最后，早期亲社会预测宜人性和共情自我效能感的信念在时间2评估。假设的概念模型占了很大一部分的亲社会性的方差，并提供指导，旨在促进亲社会性的干预措施。
The present study examined how agreeableness, self-transcendence values, and empathic self-efficacy beliefs predict individuals' tendencies to engage in prosocial behavior (i.e., prosociality) across time. Participants were 340 young adults, 190 women and 150 men, age approximately 21 years at Time 1 and 25 years at Time 2. Measures of agreeableness, self-transcendence, empathic self-efficacy beliefs, and prosociality were collected at 2 time points. The findings corroborated the posited paths of relations, with agreeableness directly predicting self-transcendence and indirectly predicting empathic self-efficacy beliefs and prosociality. Self-transcendence mediated the relation between agreeableness and empathic self-efficacy beliefs. Empathic self-efficacy beliefs mediated the relation of agreeableness and self-transcendence to prosociality. Finally, earlier prosociality predicted agreeableness and empathic self-efficacy beliefs assessed at Time 2. The posited conceptual model accounted for a significant portion of variance in prosociality and provides guidance to interventions aimed at promoting prosociality.
