n.|caprice/willfulness;任性;倔強
wilfulness(名詞)指一種堅持己見、刻意無視外界因素的心理狀态或行為模式,通常包含兩層核心含義:
主觀故意的性質 在法律語境中,wilfulness強調行為人明知行為後果仍執意為之,例如美國《布萊克法律詞典》将其定義為「行為人明知行為違反法律義務或他人權利,仍選擇實施該行為」。這種主觀故意性使其區别于普通過失,常構成加重處罰的依據。
固執的心理特質 心理學領域認為wilfulness表現為拒絕調整認知框架的思維定式,《牛津英語詞典》指出其核心特征是「為實現個人意願而持續抗拒合理建議或客觀現實」。這種特質可能影響人際關系,例如在團隊合作中堅持不妥協立場導緻效率降低。
該詞與近義詞stubbornness(固執)存在細微差異:wilfulness更強調主觀意識驅動的行為選擇,而stubbornness多指性格層面的頑固傾向。劍橋詞典通過語義分析指出,wilfulness常帶有「經過理性判斷後仍維持決定」的隱含邏輯。
"wilfulness" 是名詞,表示任性、倔強或故意為之的特質,尤其指對規則、建議或他人意願的抗拒态度。以下是詳細解析:
