“…Thus, we found no support for the notion that moral disengagement is activated as post-hoc rationalisations for existing behavioural inclinations to harass. This finding is consistent with longitudinal studies that also found no evidence of moral disengagement as a direct consequence of morally transgressive behaviour such as bullying (Sticca & Perren, 2015), and underage drinking (Quinn & Bussey, 2015a).…”

“…Stanger et al (2013), for example, observed that low anticipatory guilt mediated the positive link between moral disengagement and males' selfreported likelihood to aggress in sport. Similarly, Quinn and Bussey (2015a) found that mediation of anticipatory guilt in the relationship between moral judgment and adolescents' to women who are seen to violate traditional gender ideals (e.g., Berdahl, 2007aBerdahl, , 2007bHolland & Cortina, 2013).…”

“…Desde entonces han sido diversos los campos de estudio en los que se ha demostrado la incidencia de la desconexión moral con diversos comportamientos transgresores, entre ellos, el terrorismo y las actividades bélicas (Bandura, 1988;Villegas de Posada, Flórez & Espinel, 2018;Bandura, 2004;Osofsky, Bandura & Zimbardo, 2005), el consumo de drogas y alcohol (Quinn & Bussey, 2015b, 2015aGiulio et al, 2018), la propensión de los niños a decir mentiras (Doyle & Bussey, 2017), el uso de esteroides en el deporte (Lucidi et al, 2008;Boardleya et al, 2018), el rol de la parentalidad en la desconexión moral en la niñez (Campaert, Nocentini & Menesini, 2018;Hyde, Shaw & Moilanen, 2010;Houwing & Bussey, 2017) y, en especial, las actividades delictivas en jóvenes (Giulio et al, 2018;DeLisi et al, 2014;Petruccelli et al, 2017), siendo este último un campo de estudio reciente con múltiples aristas por explorar.…”

Se buscó identificar la relación entre los mecanismos de desconexión moral, la empatía y la prosocialidad en adolescentes que han tenido experiencias delictivas. Se contó con una muestra de 60 adolescentes que contaron con entre 16 a 18 años, a quienes se les aplicó el cuestionario de desconexión moral (MMD), la escala de tendencias prosociales (PTM-R) y el índice de reactividad emocional (IRI). Se encontró que el mecanismo de desconexión moral con mayor puntuación fue justificación moral. Asimismo, la desconexión moral correlacionó negativamente con las conductas prosociales y la empatía. Las mujeres presentan promedios más altos en las dimensiones de la empatía y la prosocialidad, mientras que los hombres presentan promedios más altos en los mecanismos de desconexión moral. Se concluye que es importante generar estrategias que estimulen la empatía, la solidaridad, la educación emocional y criterios morales prosociales en adolescentes infractores de la ley. Palabras clave: adolescente, conducta prosocial, desconexión moral, empatía, delito, agresividad. Mechanisms of moral disconnection and its relationship with empathy and prosociality in adolescents who have had criminal experiences We sought to identify the relationship between the mechanisms of moral disconnection, empathy and prosociality in adolescents who have had criminal experiences. A sample of 60 adolescents between 16 and 18 years old answered the moral disconnection questionnaire (MMD), the prosocial tendency scale (PTM-R) and the emotional reactivity index (IRI). The moral disconnection mechanism with the highest score was moral justification. Moral disconnection negatively correlated with prosocial behaviors and empathy. Women presented higher means in the dimensions of empathy and prosociality, while men showed higher means in the mechanisms of moral disconnection. The study concludes that it is important to generate strategies that stimulate empathy, solidarity, emotional education and prosocial moral criteria in adolescents who break the law.

“…Increased MD has been associated with a range of relevant behaviours, including ethical consumer choices, greater propensity of (adolescent) alcohol and other drug use; sports doping; use of cognitive enhancers in educational settings; criminal behaviour, and violent offending (Boardley et al, 2017;Chowdhury & Fernando, 2014;Graça et al, 2014;Heyes & Boardley, 2019;Ishoy, 2017;Jang, 2019;Newton, Barrett, et al, 2014;Passini, 2012;Quinn & Bussey, 2015a, 2015bWojciechowski, 2021). For example, Boardley et al (2017) found that MD in relation to sports and gym doping negatively predicted anticipated guilt, and positively predicted reported doping.…”

There has been recent UK media attention on the global impact of the cocaine trade and the morality of personal use of cocaine powder. In this study we investigated whether people who use cocaine engage in moral disengagement (MD) strategies to reduce anticipated guilt associated with use. Participants read text describing the impact of the global cocaine market on others and completed a range of measures including assessments of substance use, MD, anticipated guilt, internalised moral identity, and empathy. We hypothesised that cocaine-related MD would positively predict cocaine use, and this would be partly mediated by anticipated guilt. Complete data were obtained from 254 participants through an anonymous cross-sectional survey (59.8% Female; mean age 30.8 ± 12.6 years). Our hypotheses were supported; (i) MD predicted cocaine use positively and anticipated guilt negatively; (ii) anticipated guilt negatively predicted cocaine use; anticipated guilt partially mediated the relationship between MD and cocaine use. People who use powder cocaine may use MD to reduce the anticipated guilt associated with knowledge of the harms associated with the drugs trade. Campaigns that focus on the morality of cocaine use or ethical choices may therefore have limited impact unless MD is challenged as part of these campaigns.

The Role of Moral Disengagement in Underage Drinking and Heavy Episodic Drinking

Abstract: Understanding how adolescents self-regulate their drinking, and ways that such self-regulation may be deactivated or disengaged, may help identify those adolescents at increased risk of drinking underage and of engaging in heavy episodic drinking.
