Testing a social-cognitive model of moral behavior: the interactive influence of situations and moral identity centrality. (2009, background): “One premise of the model is that moral identity, which we conceptualize as the cognitive schema a person holds about his or her moral character, is a powerful source of moral motivation because people generally desire to maintain self-consistency (Blasi, 1980, 1993, 2004).”

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).”
Deciding versus Reacting: Conceptions of Moral Judgment and the Reason-Affect Debate (2007, background): “(One notable exception is Blasi’s approach to morality, which stresses the role of moral identity; Blasi, 1980, 1983, 2004).”

An Examination of Antecedents and Consequences of Ethical Leadership (2012, background): “…of ethical leadership by testing whether one source of motivation for leaders to exhibit ethical behaviors arises from a self-defining knowledge structure that several writers (e.g., Aquino & Reed, 2002; Blasi, 1983, 2004; Damon & Hart, 1992; Lapsley & Narvaez, 2004) refer to as moral identity.”
The role of moral emotions and individual differences in consumer responses to corporate green and non-green actions (2015, background): “Moral identity is a powerful source ofmoral motivation because people generally desire to maintain self-consistency (Blasi 1993, 2004).”
Identity as a Source of Moral Motivation (2005, background): “…in these studies provide a window into individuals’ identity contents, they do not adequately account for the more experiential aspects of identity emphasized by Blasi, such as unity and organization, or conative facets such as agency and the desire for self-consistency [Blasi, 2004b, in press].”
