“…Oliver and her colleagues have argued that elevation as one of the other-praising, self-transcendent emotions is particularly relevant for meaningful entertainment, as such content often portrays moral virtues such as altruism, gratitude, charity, or generosity. According to Haidt and his collaborators (Algoe & Haidt, 2009;Diessner, Iyer, Smith & Haidt, 2013;Haidt, 2003b;Keltner & Haidt, 2003) elevation (i.e., feelings of being moved, tender, touched, and inspired) is elicited when witnessing such acts of moral beauty, and when experienced, motivates individuals to emulate the virtuous behaviors. Elevation has been further conceptualized with mixed affective states (i.e., feeling sad and happy at the same time) and unique physiological responses such as goose bumps, a lump in the throat, and an opening of the chest (see Oliver et al, 2012).…”

“…Recent research suggests that elevation is not only elicited from experiencing values of altruism, human connectedness and kindness, but elevation also predicts the experiences of such values. For example, Diessner et al (2013) argued that the personality trait of engaging with moral beauty not only elicits the feeling of elevation (cf. Algoe & Haidt, 2009;Haidt, 2003b;Keltner & Haidt, 2003), but "appears to be uniquely related to love of, and connectedness to, others" (p. 159).…”

“…This approach allows us to explore how a variety of entertainment content the viewer perceives as meaningful, rather than the researcher, can lead to experiences of elevation and connectedness. Based on the findings by Diessner et al, (2013) we also wanted to expand the research on connectedness by further investigating love experiences in relation to elevation. We predicted: H3: Elevation will mediate the relationship between meaningful films and experiences of connectedness.…”

Expanding on the research of meaningful entertainment media and its effects, this study investigated the relationship between experiences related to elevation responses to film. Whereas research thus far has focused primarily on portrayals of altruism to elicit elevation, the results of this study show that portrayals of connectedness, love, and kindness in meaningful films are also able to elicit feelings of elevation. Moreover, elevation mediated the relationship between meaningful films and feelings of connectedness towards the transcendent, close others and toward one's family; compassionate love towards close others; and compassionate motivation to love and be good to humanity. The study demonstrates the potential of meaningful films to increase experiences of connectedness to the transcendent, which ultimately can enhance our concern about the well-being of others, and motivation to be more compassionate even to strangers. Implications for the scholarship of positive media psychology are discussed.

“…In another set of studies (Diessner, Iyer, Smith, & Haidt, ), we examined the boundary conditions for increased moral motivation when witnessing morally beautiful acts (e.g., people caring for and helping the less fortunate). Replicating the person–situation interaction found in Zhang et al () and theories developed by Mischel and Shoda (), we found a similar pattern of results.…”

The authors review the various ways moral hypocrisy has been defined and operationalized by social psychologists, concentrating on three general types: moral duplicity, moral double standards, and moral weakness. While most approaches have treated moral hypocrisy as an interpersonal phenomenon, requiring public claims, preaching (versus practicing), or judgments of others (versus oneself), this paper also considers intrapersonal moral hypocrisy – that is, conflicts between values and behavior that may exist even in the absence of public pronouncements or judgments. Current attempts to understand and combat intrapersonal moral hypocrisy are aided by moral pluralism, the idea that there are many different moral values, which may come into conflict both between and within individuals. Examples are given to illustrate how taking into account individual differences in values can help to reduce moral hypocrisy. The authors close by considering the possibility that in a pluralistic world, reducing intrapersonal moral hypocrisy might not always be a normatively desired end goal.

“…Une synthèse de six approches contemporaines en éducation morale a été présentée par Bouchard (2002) : la clarification des valeurs « nouvelle manière », la sollicitude (ou care), l'éducation du caractère, l'éthique de la discussion, l'approche narrative et l'approche reconstructive. À cette énumération, nous serions aujourd'hui enclins à ajouter, sans prétendre être exhaustifs, l'approche de la philosophie pour enfants et adolescents (Daniel, 2010 ;Gagnon, 2012 ;Gagnon et Yergeau, 2016) et l'approche intuitionniste sociale (Haidt, 2001 ;Diessner, Iyer, Smith et Haidt, 2013).…”
