On dual processing and heuristic approaches to moral cognition (2008, background): “So, for example, a child would ‘…learn to recognize in an automatic and module-like way specific kinds of unfairness or disrespect’ (Haidt & Bjorklund, 2008, p. 205).”
The Moral Foreign-Language Effect (2016, background): “Contemporary representatives of sentimentalism in psychology include social intuitionists, such as Jonathan Haidt (2001), who claim that moral judgment is driven by “quick intuitions, gut feelings, and moral emotions” (Haidt & Bjorklund, 2008, p. 186).”
Character: The Prospects for a Personality-Based Perspective on Morality (2014, background): “Understanding the relative importance of each of these mechanisms for moral behavior is important for unifying different traditions in moral psychology that emphasize one mechanism over the other (Haidt & Bjorklund, 2008).”
Ethical Leadership and Followers’ Moral Judgment: The Role of Followers’ Perceived Accountability and Self-leadership (2014, background): “Specifically, the unconscious processes that protect cognitive resources from depletion gained importance (Bargh and Chartrand 1999; Greenwald and Banaji 1995; Haidt and Bjorklund 2008).”
Morality shifting in the context of intergroup violence (2012, background): “…and lead to what he called, in his social intuitionist model of morality, moral intuitions: evaluative feelings of right or wrong resulting in automatic moral judgments in the face of transgressions that often precede deliberative, rational processes of moral reasoning (Haidt & Bjorklund, 2008).”
A Burden of Responsibility: The Role of Social Approval at the Onset of a Crisis (2014, background): “For example, individuals have a natural tendency to direct their behaviors toward positive stimuli and away from negative stimuli (Elliot, 2006; Haidt & Bjorklund, 2008; Lange et al., 2011).”
Photovoltaics in agriculture: A case study on decision making of farmers (2013, background): “Similar phenomena, namely that behaviour affects attitudes (instead of attitudes determining behaviour) have been reported previously, e.g. in Haidt and Bjorklund (2008) or in Gigerenzer (2010).”
Ethically adrift: How others pull our moral compass from true North, and how we can fix it (2013, background): “While there are likely evolutionary roots for this preference (Haidt & Bjorklund, 2008; Haidt & Graham, 2007), loyalty toward those close to us inherently undermines moral norms of fairness (Berlin & Williams, 1994).”
