研究：加密货币所有者更有可能表现出精神病倾向

多伦多大学和迈阿密大学的研究人员最近着手回答这个问题：“加密货币买家与不购买加密货币的人有何不同？”

People who are really into cryptocurrency are more likely to display psychopathic tendencies, according to a new study.

一项新研究表明，真正热衷于加密货币的人更有可能表现出精神病倾向。

Researchers at the University of Toronto and the University of Miami surveyed 2,001 American adults, asking them questions about themselves and their interest in cryptocurrency. They found that crypto’s core demographic is a bunch of maladjusted young men who believe everybody’s out to get them.

多伦多大学和迈阿密大学的研究人员对 2001 名美国成年人进行了调查，询问他们有关自己以及对加密货币的兴趣的问题。他们发现加密货币的核心人群是一群不适应环境的年轻人，他们相信每个人都想得到他们。

“The results presented here suggest that cryptocurrency ownership is associated with several nonnormative and arguably maladaptive characteristics,” the report says.

报告称：“这里提出的结果表明，加密货币所有权与一些不规范且可以说是适应不良的特征有关。”

“Crypto ownership was associated with belief in conspiracy theories, ‘dark’ personality characteristics (e.g., the ‘Dark Tetrad’ of narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and sadism), and more frequent use of alternative and fringe social media platforms,” it continues.

“加密货币所有权与相信阴谋论、‘黑暗’人格特征（例如，自恋、马基雅维利主义、精神病态和施虐狂的‘黑暗四分体’）以及更频繁地使用另类和边缘社交媒体平台有关，”它继续说道。

Of the people surveyed, only 30 percent said they had ever owned crypto. In breaking down this demographic further, researchers found that those people tended to be male, have more education, have higher income, and be more religious.

在接受调查的人中，只有 30% 的人表示他们曾经拥有过加密货币。在进一步细分这一人群时，研究人员发现这些人往往是男性，受教育程度更高，收入更高，而且更加虔诚。

When it came to the crypto holders’ psychological makeup, the results weren’t great:

当谈到加密货币持有者的心理构成时，结果并不好：

Crypto ownership is positively associated with several so-called “dark” personality characteristics including narcissism (r = .38, p < .001), Machiavellianism (r = .29, p < .001), psychopathy (r = .27, p < .001), and sadism (r = .27, p < .001). Relatedly, crypto owners also tend to score higher on measures of need for chaos (r = .35, p < .001), paranoia (r = .35, p < .001), schizotypal attributes (r = .35, p < .001), dogmatism (r = .23, p < .001), victimhood mentality (r = .18, p < .001), and psychological reactance (r = .11, p < .001).

加密货币所有权与一些所谓的“黑暗”人格特征呈正相关，包括自恋 (r = .38, p < .001)、马基雅维利主义 (r = .29, p < .001)、精神病态 (r = .27, p < .001) 和虐待狂 (r = .27, p < .001)。与此相关，加密货币所有者也往往在混乱需求（r = .35，p < .001）、偏执（r = .35，p < .001）、分裂属性（r = .35，p < .001）、分裂属性（r = .35，p < .001）等方面得分更高。 .001）、教条主义（r = .23，p < .001）、受害者心态（r = .18，p < .001）和心理抗拒（r = .11，p < .001）。

What was most positively correlated with being a crypto owner was distrust of authority and belief in conspiracy theories.

与成为加密货币所有者最正相关的是对权威的不信任和对阴谋论的信仰。

Crypto owners were generally seen to have “greater receptivity to epistemically weak claims and unwarranted beliefs,” and to regularly get their information from “alternative/fringe social media,” researchers write.

研究人员写道，加密货币所有者通常被认为“更容易接受认知上薄弱的主张和无根据的信念”，并定期从“另类/边缘社交媒体”获取信息。
