In order to explore the mechanism of forgiveness on malevolent creativity and the mediating role of anger and revenge motivation, a questionnaire survey was administered to 310 college student subjects using the Trait Forgiveness Scale (TFS), Trait Anger Scale (TAS), Transgression-Related Interpersonal Motivations Scale (TRIM-12), and Malevolent Creativity Behavior Scale (MCBS). The results of the study found that forgiveness was significantly negatively correlated with anger, revenge motivation, and malevolent creativity; and there was a significant positive correlation between the two of anger, retaliation motivation, and malicious creativity.In addition, we found that forgiveness not only negatively predicts malevolent creativity directly, but also has an effect on malevolent creativity through anger and revenge motivation and the chain mediating role of the two. The results can provide a theoretical basis for developing preventive or corrective measures for malevolent creativity.
