The domain of moral behaviour has received much
attention from researchers in a number of
psychological fields such as the cognitive
developmental, psychoanalytic, socioanalytic and
social learning approaches. While valuable, these
approaches have not fully described the psychology
of morality and methodological difficulties appear
to be built into popular measures of moral
reasoning. In this book a number of approaches to
the psychology of morality, including evolutionary
psychology, are reviewed and evidence for a
Libertarian-Communitarian dimension of moral
orientation is described. A model incorporating this
conceptualisation of moral orientation together with
cognitive dissonance as the mechanism for moral
decision making is outlined. Subsequent chapters
describe the development of a measure of moral
orientation and findings from several studies
involving some 8,500 participants are presented.
This approach to the psychology of morality is
provocative and refreshing and will stimulate debate
and research in what is one of the most important
domains of human behaviour.
