• The Uses of Violence: An Examination of Some Cross-Cutting Issues (2009, background): “Speci"cally, moral disengagement predicts physical and verbal aggression amongst children at the elementary and junior high school levels (Bandura et al. 1996; Pelton et al. 2004).”
• WHY EMPLOYEES DO BAD THINGS: MORAL DISENGAGEMENT AND UNETHICAL ORGANIZATIONAL BEHAVIOR (2012, background): “Other measures have been developed for a particular type of sample or context, which significantly limits their general use (e.g., Boardley & Kavussanu, 2007; Caprara et al., 2009; Corrion et al., 2010; McAlister, 2001; Pelton et al., 2004; Rogers, 2001).”
• An Integrative Approach to Understanding Counterproductive Work Behavior: The Roles of Stressors, Negative Emotions, and Moral Disengagement (2014, result): “Consistent with previous studies (see Bandura et al. 1996; Caprara et al. 2009; Fida et al. 2012; Pelton et al. 2004), we hypothesized a one-factor solution.”
• Moral disengagement in ethical decision making: a study of antecedents and outcomes. (2008, methodology): “Moral disengagement was assessed on the second survey with a measure similar to the one developed and used in multiple studies by Bandura and others (Bandura et al., 1996, 2001; Pelton et al., 2004).”
• Are Moral Disengagement, Neutralization Techniques, and Self-Serving Cognitive Distortions the Same? Developing a Unified Scale of Moral Neutralization of Aggression (2010, unknown): “1996; van der Velden 2008) and marked positive correlations with aggressive, violent, and delinquent behavior (Agnew 1994; Bandura 1996; Barriga and Gibbs 1996; Hymel et al. 2005; Nas et al. 2008; Pelton et al. 2004).”
• Moral Disengagement Among Bystanders to School Bullying (2011, background): “Just as in previous studies (Bandura et al., 1996, 2001; Pelton et al., 2004), the moral disengagement scale has a high internal consistency (Cronbach’s α = .85).”
• Investigating the Effects of Moral Disengagement and Participation on Unethical Work Behavior (2011, background): “These mechanisms have shown promise empirically as factors underlying misbehavior among juveniles (e.g., Bandura et al. 1996; Pelton et al. 2003 ), and are growing in popularity in the social psychological literature on wrongdoing.”
