道德认同被认为是亲社会行为的一致预测因子，但其两个维度，内化（"拥有"）和符号化（"做"）的具体关系和预测强度尚不清楚。本文通过两个自我报告研究来探讨这一点。在研究1（N = 228）中，一系列分层回归分析表明，对于亲社会行为的四个领域中的三个，象征化是唯一显着的预测因子，其强度在不同的结果。基于这些结果，研究2（N = 299）提出，亲社会行为的观察与匿名性质可以解释这些差异。出乎意料的是，象征化预测公共和私人行为，而内化一般没有。内化和符号化之间的显着相互作用也被观察到。这些研究结果进行了讨论，其理论意义和未来的道德认同研究。
Moral identity has been identified as a consistent predictor of prosocial behavior, but the specific relationship and predictive strength of its two dimensions, internalization ("having") and symbolization ("doing"), are less clear. The current article explores this through two self-report studies. In study 1 (N = 228) a series of hierarchical regression analyses showed that, for three out of four domains of prosocial behavior, symbolization was the only significant predictor, and that its strength differed across outcomes. Building on these results, Study 2 (N = 299) proposed that the observed vs. anonymous nature of prosocial behavior could account for these differences. Unexpectedly, symbolization predicted both public and private behaviors, whereas internalization generally did not. Significant interactions between internalization and symbolization were also observed. These findings are discussed in relation to their theoretical implications and future moral identity research.
