Social Cognitive Theory of Moral Thought and Action
(Bandura, 1991)
People develop moral standards throughout childhood.
When they violate standards, they feel bad.
People don’t act badly because they don’t like to experience negative emotions (e.g., guilt and shame).
Bandura (1999)
People don’t always act as they should.
They can act badly without experiencing negative emotion.
They do so by using social and psychological manoeuvres to
disengage
moral self-sanctions from bad behaviour.
