In the framework of moral self-regulation, current research examined the inhibitory effects of high moral identity and moral elevation on moral licensing. Across three studies we consistently found that recalling past moral behavior can trigger moral licensing (Study 1, 2, 3). Moreover, moral licensing shows individual differences (Study 2). Specifically, those with high moral identity are more likely to show moral consistency, while those with low moral identity are more likely to show moral licensing. Finally, we found that moral licensing of people with low moral identity can be inhibited by moral elevation (Study 3).

In Experiment 1, we found conformity effects only when the other choices came from humans. In Experiment 2, we manipulated the attention allocated to encoding picture-choice combinations by means of a secondary go/nogo task. Conformity effects were found for humans and computers if the secondary task did not require a response. In Experiment 3, we manipulated the attention allocated to retrieving picture-choice combinations, which resulted in conformity effects for all conditions.
