  • an empirically derived taxonomy of Moral Concepts
    Journal of Experimental Psychology: General, 2018
    Co-Authors: Justin F Landy, Daniel M Bartels
    Abstract:

    We propose that methods from the study of category-based induction can be used to test the descriptive accuracy of theories of Moral judgment. We had participants rate the likelihood that a person would engage in a variety of actions, given information about a previous behavior. From these likelihood ratings, we extracted a hierarchical, taxonomic model of how Moral violations relate to each other (Study 1). We then tested the descriptive adequacy of this model against an alternative model inspired by Moral Foundations Theory, using classic tasks from induction research (Studies 2a and 2b), and using a measure of confirmation, which accounts for the baseline frequency of these violations (Study 3). Lastly, we conducted focused tests of combinations of violations where the models make differing predictions (Study 4). This research provides new insight into how people represent Moral Concepts, connecting classic methods from cognitive science with contemporary themes in Moral psychology.

  • intermediate Concepts and the connection to Moral education
    Educational Psychology Review, 1999
    Co-Authors: Muriel J Bebeau, Stephen J Thoma
    Abstract:

    This paper provides a brief overview of Rest's (1983) conception of the important processes that contribute to effective Moral decision making, summarizes efforts to design and assess Moral education programs based on Rest's Four-Component Model, and describes new directions in the assessment of Moral judgment development that are specifically directed toward professional ethics education. Based on preliminary studies, we recommend that, in addition to measuring each of the processes in Rest's model, educators design profession-specific measures of Moral Concepts that better reflect the content of professional ethics education. Labeled intermediate Concepts measures, these assessments attend to Concepts that are more specific than the abstract Moral schemas tested by Kohlbergian measures of Moral judgment and more general than concrete codes of professional ethics.

  • alienation as atrophied Moral cognition and its implications for political behavior
    Journal for The Theory of Social Behaviour, 2013
    Co-Authors: Michael J Thompson
    Abstract:

    I present a theory of alienation that accounts for the cognitive processes involved with Moral thinking and political behavior in modern societies. On my account, alienation can be understood as a particular kind of atrophy of Moral Concepts and Moral thinking that affect the ways individuals cognize and legitimate the social world and their place within it. Central to my argument is the thesis that modern forms of social integration—shaped by highly institutionalized, rationalized and hierarchical forms of social life—serve to constrain the Moral- cognitive powers of subjects leading to a condition of alienation as Moral atrophy. This state results from the withering of the subject’s internal powers of Moral reflection and an overriding predisposition to rely on external value schemas to make sense of Moral and political problems. I then present an analysis of alienated Moral consciousness and its implications for modern social theory.
