A Systematic Review of Moral Disengagement

Abstract

This article delves into the intricacies of the moral disengagement mechanism and explores the profound effects it can have on individuals and society as a whole. To begin with, a detailed definition of the moral disengagement mechanism were provided in this article, aiming to offer readers a clearer and more comprehensive understanding of what precisely constitutes this phenomenon. Furthermore, the article investigates the far-reaching implications of moral disengagement, highlighting how it can lead to a range of negative outcomes, including the perpetuation of harmful practices, the erosion of social norms, and the potential for widespread ethical misconduct. By thoroughly examining the definition and impact of the moral disengagement mechanism, this paper aims to shed light on a critical issue that affects not only individual behavior but also the moral fabric of society at large. Besides, three experiments were analysed and the final conclusions were drawn. At the same time, this paper really puts forward the limitations and shortcomings of the research methods in the three experimental contents, and puts forward suggestions for future related research. This study helps researchers to better study the influencing factors of moral disengagement mechanism, and provides effective guidance for subsequent research related to moral disengagement mechanism.
