Abstract

The present study explores moral identity, moral emotion attribution, moral responsibility, acceptability, and moral decisions in adolescents. We hypothesized that moral identity predicts moral decisions in adolescents. Furthermore, we hypothesized that moral emotions mediate the relationship between moral identity and moral decisions and moral identity and moral responsibility/acceptability. A total of 749 adolescents were recruited. Questions regarding moral identity, moral emotion attribution, moral responsibility, acceptability, and moral decisions were answered by the participants. SPSS and AMOS wereused to analyze the data obtained.The results showed that moral identity was related positively to moral decisions and negatively to moral emotion attribution in adolescents. Mediation analysis showed that moral emotions were a significant mediator between moral identity and moral decisions. The findings indicate that moral identity plays an essential role in the moral decision-making processes in adolescents.

青少年道德认同与道德决策的关系。

本研究探讨了青少年的道德认同、道德情绪归因、道德责任、可接受性和道德决策。我们假设道德认同可以预测青少年的道德决定。此外，我们假设道德情绪在道德认同与道德决策、道德认同与道德责任/可接受性之间起到中介作用。总共招募了749名青少年。参与者回答了关于道德认同、道德情感归因、道德责任、可接受性和道德决策的问题。采用SPSS和AMOS软件对所得数据进行分析。结果表明，青少年道德认同与道德决策呈正相关，与道德情绪归因负相关。中介分析表明，道德情绪在道德认同与道德决策之间起着显著的中介作用。研究结果表明，道德认同在青少年道德决策过程中起着至关重要的作用。
