本研究考察了道德脱离机制在道德能动性行使中的作用。通过将有害行为与有价值的目的挂钩，将有害行为转化为道德行为，可以有选择地从有害行为中脱离监管自我制裁。通过分散和转移责任来掩盖个人的因果作用，歪曲或忽视对他人造成的伤害，通过指责和非人化来诋毁虐待的接受者。该研究考察了道德脱离对有害行为的结构和影响，以及它发挥作用的心理过程。路径分析表明，道德脱离通过减少亲社会性和预期的自我谴责，促进有利于侵略的认知和情感反应，促进有害的行为，人际攻击和犯罪行为的影响路径的结构是非常相似的。虽然各种道德脱离机制协同运作，但通过将有害行为与有价值的目的联系起来对有害行为进行道德谴责以及诽谤受害者似乎是从事有害活动的最主要原因。
This research examined the role of mechanisms of moral disengagement in the exercise of moral agency. Regulatory self-sanctions can be selectively disengaged from detrimental conduct by converting harmful acts to moral ones through linkage to worthy purposes. obscuring personal causal agency by diffusion and displacement of responsibility, misrepresenting or disregarding the injurious effects inflicted on others, and vilifying the recipients of maltreatment by blaming and dehumanizing them. The study examined the structure and impact of moral disengagement on detrimental conduct and the psychological processes through which it exerts its effects. Path analyses reveal that moral disengagement fosters detrimental conduct by reducing prosocialness and anticipatory self-censure and by promoting cognitive and affective reactions conducive to aggression, The structure of the paths of influence is very similar For interpersonal aggression and delinquent conduct. Although the various mechanisms of moral disengagement operate in concert, moral reconstruals of harmful conduct by linking it to worthy purposes and Vilification of victims seem to contribute most heavily to engagement in detrimental activities.
