While attachment security is known to promote prosocial behaviour, a closer examination is needed to clarify the active mechanism in this relationship. We addressed this issue by examining the mediation effect of moral disengagement in two studies. Participants were assigned to the control priming group or the attachment security priming group. After the priming procedure, they completed the measurements of a sense of security, moral disengagement and prosocial behaviour. The results from both studies showed that compared with control priming, attachment security priming enhanced prosociality. Furthermore, mediation analysis showed that moral disengagement mediated the relationship between attachment security and prosociality. The present findings extend the understanding of the underlying mechanisms of attachment security and prosociality, and provide insights into the effectiveness of boosting attachment security in intervening in moral disengagement.

增强依恋安全感促进亲社会性：道德脱离的中介作用

虽然众所周知，依恋安全感可以促进亲社会行为，但需要更仔细的检查来阐明这种关系中的主动机制。我们通过在两项研究中检验道德脱离的中介效应来解决这个问题。参与者被分配到控制启动组或附件安全启动组。启动程序后，他们完成了安全感、道德脱离感和亲社会行为的测量。两项研究的结果表明，与控制启动相比，依恋安全启动增强了亲社会性。此外，中介分析表明，道德脱离在依恋安全感和亲社会性之间的关系中起到中介作用。目前的研究结果扩展了对依恋安全和亲社会性潜在机制的理解，并为增强依恋安全在干预道德脱离方面的有效性提供了见解。
