Emerging Adult Civic and Political Disengagement: A Longitudinal Analysis of Lack of Involvement With Politics (2010, background): “Skitka and Mullen (2002) define a moral conviction as believing that something can be right or wrong, moral or immoral.”
Moral Spillovers: The Effect of Moral Violations on Deviant Behavior (2008, background): “Indeed, several studies have documented ‘‘the MM effect”—that when people have a MM their sense of fairness is determined more by whether their mandated outcome is achieved than by procedural fairness (Skitka, 2002; Skitka & Mullen, 2002 ).”
Morality in Groups: On the Social‐Regulatory Functions of Right and Wrong (2012, background): “As a result, people who do not share the same moral values may even be seen as less human, so that aggression against them seems justified (Opotow, 1993; Skitka & Mullen, 2002).”
Relative Deprivation (2012, background): “First, as van Stekelenburg and Klandermans (2009) write in their review of social movement research, the grievances that prompt protest can represent perceptions of illegitimate inequality (RD), suddenly imposed grievances, or the violation of moral principles (also see Skitka & Mullen, 2002).”
Moral conviction: another contributor to attitude strength or something more? (2005, background): “Consistent with this idea, considerable research has indicated that features of procedures that are typically associated with greater decision acceptance and enhanced perceptions of fairness (e.g., opportunities for voice, lack of bias) do not predict decision acceptance and perceptions of fairness ”
From political opponents to enemies? The role of perceived moral distance in the animalistic dehumanization of the political outgroup (2016, background): “Moreover, moral controversies lead not only to a reduced ability to resolve intergroup differences but also to a disregard for procedural safeguards (Skitka & Mullen, 2002).”
Confrontational and Preventative Policy Responses to Terrorism: Anger Wants a Fight and Fear Wants "Them" to Go Away (2006, background): “…to the 9/11 attacks is consistent with value protection theories that posit that people are intuitive prosecutors who respond to moral transgressions with a strong sense of motivated arousal and distress (Skitka & Mullen, 2002; Tetlock, 2002; Tetlock, Kirstel, Elson, Green, & Lerner, 2000).”
People as intuitive prosecutors: The impact of social-control goals on attributions of responsibility (2007, background): “Attribution theories expect people to consider a wide array of causal accounts, from the internalcontrollable (e.g., evil intent) to the external-uncontrollable (e.g., exploitative system), that can trigger a corresponding array of reactions, from punitiveness to forgiveness ( Skitka & Mullen, 2002;”
Are Outcome Fairness and Outcome Favorability Distinguishable Psychological Constructs? A Meta-Analytic Review (2003, background): “…that there may be important differences between outcome fairness and outcome favorability, fair process effects do not emerge when people have information that allows them to make a clear judgment of outcome fairness (Skitka, 2002; Skitka & Mullen, 2002; van den Bos; Lind, Vermunt, & Wilke, 1997).”
Experimental research on just-world theory: problems, developments, and future challenges. (2005, background): “…of these views of the justice motive, including that of just-world theory, has claims of empirical support (cf. Brosnan & de Waal, 2003; Holmes et al., 2002; Leventhal & Anderson, 1970; Skitka & Mullen, 2002; Tyler, Degoey, & Smith, 1996; van den Bos, 2001; Walker, LaTour, Lind, & Thibaut, 1974).”
The Psychology of Moral Conviction (2010, background): “…to be unfair and nonbinding, whereas morally convicted opponents perceived the reverse (Skitka, Bauman, & Lytle, 2009; see also Skitka, 2002, Skitka & Mullen, 2002; Wisneski, Lytle, & Skitka, 2009), results that were later replicated in the context of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision that…”
The internet as psychological laboratory. (2006, background): “Skitka & Mullen (2002) studied reactions of a nationally representative Webenabled sample (see description of Knowledge Networks below) to assess people’s reactions to the case of Elián González (a 6-year-old Cuban boy rescued at sea in November 1999 and brought to the United States) as it…”
Making Sense of Whistle-Blowing's Antecedents: Learning from Research on Identity and Ethics Programs (2009, background): “Also, Skitka and Mullen (2002) showed that when situations prime individuals’ personal identities with social justice concerns by posing a threat to a moral value they hold especially dear, they behaved in accordance with their moral mandates associated with those values.”
The Salience of Social Contextual Factors in Appraisals of Police Interactions with Citizens: A Randomized Factorial Experiment (2014, result): “…measurement reliability and ‘‘non-differentiation’’ of responses for Internet-enabled data collection compared to RDD. Skitka and Mullen (2002) and Skitka et al. (2002) show that on questions of civic values and actions, in particular, telephone survey responses were more often influenced by…”
Integrating who “we” are with what “we” (will not) stand for: A further extension of the Social Identity Model of Collective Action (2018, background): “This is important because value protection models (e.g., Skitka, 2002; Skitka & Mullen, 2002; Tetlock, 2002; Tetlock et al., 2000) suggest that perceived violations of values (e.g., discriminating against people on the basis of race or gender) motivate individuals to protect them, and thus bridge…”

Mind Perception Is the Essence of Morality (2012, background): “Although perceptions of harm could represent post hoc motivated reasoning (Ditto, Pizarro, & Tannenbaum, 2009; Haidt, 2001; Kunda, 1990; Skitka & Mullen, 2002), all participants were told not to justify their responses, a manipulation that past research has shown eliminates feelings of…”
