Integrating the Streams of Morality Research

Abstract: The scientific study of morality has blossomed in the past decade, yielding key insights into the psychological processes underlying moral judgments. This blossoming has generally taken place along two streams of research: one concerning cultural and individual differences in these processes, and one concerning their situational determinants. Although these two streams often examine the same factors (e.g., the role of contamination in moral judgment), they have not systematically built on each other's findings… Show more

“…These very basic findings (replicated with over 1,000 volunteers at YourMorals.org) lend support to Paul Bloom's (, ) argument that moral psychology has relied too much on dilemmas and situations involving strangers and has not paid enough attention to relatives and close others (with respect to whom our moral judgments likely evolved). While most of the scales, tasks, and hypothetical scenarios created to gauge our moral nature involve interactions between strangers involving harm (e.g., trolley dilemmas) or unfairness (e.g., the prisoner's dilemma and other economic games), our results show that when asked to reflect upon their own moral failings, people most often describe violations of honesty and loyalty to relatives and close others (see also Graham, Meindl, & Beall, ; Meindl & Graham, ). Given that people clearly consider honesty to be a very important moral trait (Aquino & Reed, ; Lapsley & Lasky, ; Smith, Türk‐Smith, & Christopher, ; Walker & Pitts, ) and most people lie multiple times every day (DePaulo, Kashy, Kirkendol, Wyer, & Epstein, ), it should probably come as no surprise that honesty hypocrisy is so prevalent.…”

“…As Narvaez (2010) asked, what is the relation between moral judgment on one hand, and actual moral behavior on the other? Following Graham, Meindl, and Beall (2012), how can the pluralism of moral judgments and concerns help researchers capture a wider array of morally relevant behaviors? Relatedly, what are the practical real-world implications of MFT for persuasion (e.g., Feinberg & Willer, 2013) or other aspects of moral disagreements?…”

“…A su vez, en el campo de la psicología moral se ha observado un resurgimiento del interés por el estudio de la ideología durante la última década, entendiendo a esta última como un factor moderador entre diferencias individuales y efectos situacionales, a la vez que un poderoso predictor tanto de intereses como decisiones que las personas adoptan en el plano moral (Graham, Meindl y Beall 2012).…”
