Abstract: Based on interactionist model of creative behavior and general strain theory, the study aims to examine the relationship between negative parenting style and malevolent creativity behaviors, and the mediating role of moral disengagement and the moderating role of gender. A total of 926 college students in three universities in Changsha City were recruited by cluster sampling method, the short form of EMBU, the adolescent moral disengagement scale and the malevolent creativity behavior scale. The results showed that: (1) Negative parenting style positively predicted the malevolent creative behaviors; (2) Moral disengagement mediated the relationship between negative parenting style and malevolent creative behaviors; (3) Gender played a moderating role in the first half of the mediating path of “negative parenting style→moral disengagement→malevolent creativity behaviors”, and the positive correlation between negative parenting style and moral disengagement was stronger in men than in women.

Key words: college students, negative parenting style, moral disengagement, malevolent creativity behaviors
