Abstract
Moral psychology in the Middle East region is scattered throughout different languages, continents, and methodologies. This article provides the first review on morality in the Middle East region. We review empirical research on morality to identify the research profile of included studies in the Middle East, including the research methods, geographic scope, research variables utilized in the reviewed studies, and key themes emerging from prior relevant studies. An electronic literature search yielded a total of 582 relevant research articles published from 1990 through 2023. This research provides insights regarding moral themes covered by research, gaps in the literature, and future recommendations for research based on the examination of findings, implications, limitations, and future research directions.
