MORAL PSYCHOLOGY
PART 1
MAPPING THE MORAL DOMAIN
Many of the scales used in moral psychology share the assumption that the moral domain is “limited to concerns about individuals harming or unfairly treating other individuals” (Graham, Iyer, Nosek & Haidt, Koleva & Ditto, 2011 p. 366). Lawrence Kohlberg viewed morality as justice while Carol Gilligan viewed morality as care. Turiel combined both views and described moral domain as, “prescriptive judgments of justice, rights, and welfare pertaining to how people ought to relate to each other” (Graham, Iyer, Nosek & Haidt, Koleva & Ditto, 2011 p. 366).

There is greater value placed on “the role of affect and intuition in moral judgement” (Federico, Weber, Ergun, & Hunt, 2013, p. 589). Morality has usually focused on not harming others or treating them unfairly, but newer approaches deal with “social order and the integrity of communal structures.” (Federico, Weber, Ergun, & Hunt, 2013, p. 589). The Moral Foundations Theory suggests that liberals “place a greater emphasis on individualizing concerns about harm avoidance and fairness.” (Federico, Weber, Ergun, & Hunt, 2013, p. 590). On the other hand, conservatives place emphasis on binding concerns. Binding concerns are in regard to loyalty to the in-group, respect for authority and tradition. Additionally, western societies place higher values on individualizing concerns over binding concerns. According to the dual-process model by Duckitt, there is social dominance orientation (SDO) and right-wing authoritarianism (RWA). The social dominance orientation is linked to openness versus conformity and associated with the dog-eat-dog competitive jungle view. The right-wing authoritarianism is linked to openness versus conformity and is associated with dangerous world view. In this regard, there are two hypotheses
