Abstract：
Using a sample of 1383 undergraduate students (M age = 20.06, N female = 817), this study tested a moderated mediation model in which shyness moderated the association between agreeableness and prosocial behavior, as well as the relation between agreeableness and social self-efficacy (SSE). Results showed (when gender, age, and family socio-economic status were controlled) that agreeableness exerted a positive effect on prosocial behavior (PSB) toward three types of recipients (i.e., family members, friends/acquaintances, strangers), and this effect was mediated by SSE and moderated by shyness. The relationships between agreeableness and PSB were more positive under low shyness than that under high shyness condition. In addition, shyness also moderated the first stage of mediation model (i.e., the agreeableness-SSE association), showing that the relation between agreeableness and SSE was more positive under low shyness than that under high shyness condition. Identifying the moderation effect of shyness provides evidence that personality traits may operate in an interactive manner. This may shed new light on why there are inconsistent findings regarding the agreeableness-prosociality association.
摘要：
使用1383名本科生的样本（M年龄=20.06，N女性=817），这项研究测试了一个有节制的中介模型，在这个模型中，羞怯调节了随和和性和亲社会行为之间的联系，以及随性与社会自我效能感(SSE)的关系。结果显示（当性别，年龄,和家庭社会经济地位受到控制)，同意对亲社会行为(PSB)对三种类型的接受者(即，家庭成员,朋友/熟人，陌生人),这种效应是由SSE介导的，由害羞调节的。在低羞怯条件下，宜人性与PSB之间的关系比在高羞怯条件下更为积极。此外,羞怯也缓和了调解模式的第一阶段(即，同意-上交所协会)，表明，在低羞怯条件下，宜人性与SSE之间的关系比在高羞怯条件下更为积极。确定害羞的调节作用提供了人格特质可能以交互方式运作的证据。这可能为为什么关于同意-亲社会关联的发现不一致提供了新的思路。
