Moral Sensitivity:Concept Understanding and Differentiation

道德敏感性是新科尔伯格取向的重要概念,是道德行为发生之前逻辑上的心理初始成分,是对情境的道德领悟与解释,典型地反映了道德认知和道德情感的相互作用。对这个概念的性质和内涵理解存在能力观和经验观等不同观点;该概念也常操作化地为道德觉察、道德意识、后果意识、确认道德问题等;它与伦理敏感性、道德直觉等相近概念有着不同程度的区别和联系。

Moral sensitivity is a key concept of the neo - Kohlbergian approach. As the initially psychological component before moral action, it is moral apperception and moral interpretation to situation, reflecting typically interaction between moral cognition and moral emotion. There are competing descriptors on understanding this concept, such as capacity -based perspective and experience -based perspective. Operatively, it is usually instead of moral perception, moral awareness, awareness of consequence, identifying ethical issue and so on. However, there are some differences and links between moral sensitivity and its similar concepts such as ethical sensitivity, empathy, moral intuition and so on.
