PY - 2022 M3 - Original Research TI - Moral Decision-Making During COVID-19: Moral Judgements, Moralisation, and Everyday Behaviour JO - Frontiers in Psychology UR - https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2021.769177 VL - 12 SN - 1664-1078 N2 - The COVID-19 pandemic continues to pose significant health, economic, and social challenges. Given that many of these challenges have moral relevance, the present studies investigate whether the COVID-19 pandemic is influencing moral decision-making and whether moralisation of behaviours specific to the crisis predict adherence to government-recommended behaviours. Whilst we find no evidence that utilitarian endorsements have changed during the pandemic at two separate timepoints, individuals have moralised non-compliant behaviours associated with the pandemic such as failing to physically distance themselves from others. Importantly, our findings show that this moralisation predicts sustained individual compliance with government-recommended behaviours. ER -
