Abstract

At the within-person level, changes in RA were due to the serial effect of social responsibility and moral disengagement, suggesting that prosocial personalities may inhibit aggression by suppressing negative moral cognition (moral disengagement). Social responsibility and moral disengagement may form a cascading loop, which promotes the development of prosocial personalities, and in turn, inhibits the development of aggression. These findings facilitate the understanding of the mechanism underlying the decrease in RA from a protective personality perspective.
