为什么有道德的人往往不道德？标准的科学答案指向不良的道德判断（基于缺乏性格发展，理性或直觉）或情境压力。我考虑第三种可能性：相对缺乏真正的道德动机和情感。被认为是道德动机的东西往往是一种微妙的利己主义形式。最近的研究提供了相当多的证据证明，道德诚信的动机，以显示道德，而如果可能的话，避免实际上是道德的成本，但很少有证据证明道德诚信的动机，实际上是道德的。缺乏真正的道德动机反过来可能与缺乏真正的道德情感有关，至少在对违反某些道德标准的反应中是这样。
Why do moral people so often fail to act morally? Standard scientific answers point to poor moral judgment (based on deficient character development, reason, or intuition) or to situational pressure. I consider a third possibility: a relative lack of truly moral motivation and emotion. What has been taken for moral motivation is often instead a subtle form of egoism. Recent research provides considerable evidence for moral hypocrisy-motivation to appear moral while, if possible, avoid the cost of actually being moral-but very little evidence for moral integrity-motivation to actually be moral. The lack of truly moral motivation may, in turn, be linked to a lack of truly moral emotion, at least in response to violation of certain moral standards.
