What does my group consider moral?: How social influence shapes moral behavior.

The article discusses a framework for understanding how moral attitudes are influenced by situational factors, emphasizing that while these attitudes may seem stable, actual behavior is often contingent on social contexts. It highlights the roles of social norms and perceived control in shaping moral behavior, noting that individuals adapt their actions based on the norms of their environment, such as expressing outrage on social media versus maintaining professionalism in workplace settings. The framework also explores the interplay between the goals of affiliation and accuracy in moral decision-making, providing insights into phenomena like moral hypocrisy and the tendency to overestimate one's willingness to engage in collective moral actions. The research is presented as a preprint and has not yet undergone peer review. [Extracted from the article]
