社会认知取向的道德认同研究

The Moral Identity under the Social-cognitive Approach

德性是人之自我系统的重要组成部分。近十多年来,作为个体认同形成和道德发展的汇聚之处,道德认同(moral identity)引领了广泛的研究。其中社会认知取向作为主流范式,为道德认同的理论和测量提供了深厚的基础。该范式之下,当前的道德认同研究的前沿主要包括道德认同与道德行为的关系、道德认同的形成与发展、道德认同与环境的关系等议题。展望未来,该领域的研究需要在道德认同的个体发展(尤其是儿童和青少年)、理论整合以及生态化等方面作进一步探究。

Morality is integrated into the self - system. As a construct, moral identity intersects individual＇ s identity formation and moral development which has inspired significant body of studies. Social - cognitive approach lays the ground work for the theoretical construc- tion and research methodology of moral identity. Under this approach the contemporary frontier of the research of moral identity included three aspects ： linking moral identity to moral behavior, the formation and development of individual＇ s moral identity, the relationship be- tween moral identity and environment. At the end of this article, some outlooks were proposed as follows, more emphasize should be put on children and adolescents＇ moral identity development and on theoretical integration among multi -approaches;and the ecologization of the moral identity should be addressed in the future research.
