This research focused on the psychological impact of an epidemic. We conducted a cross-sectional survey and two empirical experiments to examine how an epidemic would influence unethical behaviors and how the effect differs in people of different subjective socioeconomic statuses. These studies consistently demonstrated that subjective socioeconomic status moderates the relationship between an epidemic and unethical behaviors. Specifically, the perceived severity of an epidemic positively predicts the unethical behaviors of people with a high socioeconomic status, but it does not predict the unethical behaviors of people with a low socioeconomic status. These findings elucidate the effects of epidemics and bring theoretical and practical implications.
本研究聚焦于疫情的心理影响。我们进行了一项横断面调查和两项实证实验，以考察疫情如何影响不道德行为，以及这种影响在不同主观社会经济地位的人群中如何不同。这些研究一致表明，主观社会经济地位调节了疫情与不道德行为之间的关系。具体而言，对疫情严重程度的感知正向预测社会经济地位高的人群的不道德行为，但不能预测社会经济地位低的人群的不道德行为。这些发现阐明了疫情的影响，并带来了理论和实践意义。
