The Role of Moral Intensity in Ethical Decision Making
实证研究发现道德强度的不同维度影响人们对道德问题的识别、道德评价(如功利主义、义务论、程序正义和分配正义)以及道德意图,且这些关系存在中介效应。
An empirical investigation found that the dimensions of moral intensity were related to the recognition of moral issues, moral evaluations (i.e., utilitarian, deontological, procedural, and distributive justice), and moral intentions. Consistent with the ethical decision-making framework presented, findings also revealed that (a) the moral intensity–moral evaluation relation was partially mediated by moral recognition for distributive justice and utilitarian evaluations, (b) the moral recognition–moral intention relationwas fully mediated by distributive justice and utilitarian evaluations, and (c) the moral intensity–moral intention relation was partially mediated by the combination of moral recognition and each ofthe moral evaluation processes.
