A grotesque and dark beauty: How moral identity and mechanisms of moral disengagement influence cognitive and emotional reactions to war (2007, background): “Similarly, Lapsley and Lasky (2001) suggest that a person who has a moral identity is one for whom moral schemas are chronically available, readily primed, and easily activated for processing social information.”
Who Displays Ethical Leadership, and Why Does It Matter? An Examination of Antecedents and Consequences of Ethical Leadership (2012, methodology): “…identity have been used to explain various aspects of moral functioning in nonorganizational domains (Aquino & Freeman, 2009; Aquino & Reed, 2002; Lapsley & Lasky, 2001; Lapsley & Narvaez, 2004; Reed & Aquino, 2003), but only recently has moral identity been introduced into the management…”
Not All Followers Socially Learn from Ethical Leaders: The Roles of Followers’ Moral Identity and Leader Identification in the Ethical Leadership Process (2019, background): “2011; Lapsley and Lasky 2001).”
Beyond Moral Reasoning: A Review of Moral Identity Research and Its Implications for Business Ethics (2008, background): “Despite their commonalities, social-cognitive conceptualizations (e.g., Aquino & Reed, 2002; Lapsley & Lasky, 2001a; Lapsley & Narvaez, 2004) are theoretically distinct from character conceptualizations.”
Are liars ethical? On the tension between benevolence and honesty (2014, background): “Scholars argue that justice and care are two key components of moral character (Aquino & Reed, 2002; Lapsley & Lasky, 2001; Walker & Hennig, 2004).”
To act out, to withdraw, or to constructively resist? Employee reactions to supervisor abuse of customers and the moderating role of employee moral identity (2013, background): “The more a person embraces morality as a central component of their self-conceptions, the easier it is for them to access this part of their identity for the sake of making moral judgments (Aquino and Reed, 2002; Blasi, 1984, 2004; Lapsley and Lasky, 2001).”
Moral identity and the expanding circle of moral regard toward out-groups. (2003, methodology): “…theories of the self (cf. Kihlstrom & Klein, 1994), Aquino and Reed (2002) argued that moral identity is linked to specific moral traits (cf. Lapsley & Lasky, 2001; Walker & Pitts, 1998) and can, therefore, be invoked by tapping a subset of traits that are associatively linked to other…”
Moral signals, public outrage, and immaterial harms (2011, background): “When asked to describe the qualities of a moral person, people view both a sense of integrity and a capacity for empathy as crucial aspects of moral character (Aquino & Reed, 2002; Lapsley & Lasky, 2001; Walker & Hennig, 2004).”
A Model of Third Parties' Morally Motivated Responses to Mistreatment in Organizations (2011, methodology): “For my dissertation, I adopt the socio-cognitive conceptualization of moral identity, proposed by Aquino and colleagues, which describes moral identity as one of many possible self-schemas a person can adopt (e.g., Aquino, et al., 2009; Aquino & Reed, 2002; Lapsley & Lasky, 2001).”
Ethical Leaders and Their Followers: The Transmission of Moral Identity and Moral Attentiveness (2016, background): “For those with a strong moral identity, social cognitive theory argues that their moral self-schema is more cognitively accessible and more easily activated (Lapsley & Lasky, 2001 ).”
Status Differentiation and the Protean Self: A Social-Cognitive Model of Unethical Behavior in Organizations (2011, background): “…moral emotions and intuitions is critical to our theory because it implies that even though people may adopt various ethical frameworks (e.g., utilitarian, deontological), they are likely to share a similar conception of the characteristics that define the moral character (Lapsley and Lasky, 2001).”
Moral chronicity and social information processing: Tests of a social cognitive approach to the moral personality (2006, unknown): “Participants were considered to have high moral chronic accessibility if three of the six traits that they listed were also traits that are highly prototypic of good moral character, as determined by prototypicality ratings reported by Lapsley and Lasky (2001).”
Testing a social-cognitive model of moral behavior: the interactive influence of situations and moral identity centrality. (2009, methodology): “Study data were then analyzed using the coding and model estimation proce- 1 There is evidence that people rate (Peterson, Peterson, & Seeto, 1983) and judge (Bussey, 1999) selfishly motivated lies as worse than so-called white lies that are meant to spare others’ feelings or prevent harm.”
