In the current information age, the development of the internet has brought a lot of opportunities and convenience to us, but it also caused a series of network moral problems.Undergraduates as the main force in the use of the network also influenced by the negative impact of the network, they may suffer from and partly commit unethical behaviors. All of they own a stable and high level of moral cognition degree, so moral emotion plays an important role in their network morality's improvement. Self-compassion contains the ability to kindly accept oneself while suffering; perceiving one's experiences as part of the larger human experience; and holding painful thoughts and feelings in mindful awareness.It has a good effect on emotion regulation. In order to enrich and perfect the theory of moral education among undergraduates, implore the effect of self-compassion on moral emotion and behavior tendencies in unethical network situation has a guiding significance.This study designs two unethical network situations, they are suffering or committing immoral behavior situation on the internet. The author tries to prove that self-compassion can reduce the degree of anger, the tendency to payback or abusing and improve the motivation to avoid making the similar moral transgression, the tendency to forgiveness when suffering the immoral situation; and also can reduce the degree of guilt, the tendency to self-punishment and improve the motivation to make amends and avoid repeating the moral transgression. We use interviews and questionnaire to collect anger and guilt stories during the subjects' network experience, compile them into scenario, after statistical analysis we will use the best scenario into the following experiment. And then we will organize behavior tendency items according to the selected scenarios. In the formal experiment, we take the following steps: self-compassion measurement; evoking the target emotion; evaluating emotion intensity; evoking self-compassion state; evaluating emotion intensity again; behavior tendency measurement. By statistic analysis, the mainconclusions are as follows:1. The establishment of the scenario can effectively induce the target emotion;2. Self-compassion state can significantly reduce the degree of anger when suffering unethical network situation and guilt when committing unethical behavior on the internet;3. The high level of self-compassion people are less likely to make the similar mistake after suffering the unethical network situation;4. The high level of self-compassion people are more likely to make amends, help others and avoid repeating the moral transgression after committing the unethical behavior on the internet.
