Moral disciplining provides a satisfying explanation for Chinese lay concepts of immorality

Research output: Contribution to journalArticlespeer-review

Abstract

In our research on lay prototypes of immorality, we found that Chinese consider immoral behaviors to be more about showing coarse character, rather than being violent and harmful (called criminal behaviors). The target article provides a satisfying rationale for why this Chinese immorality concept, which has many similarities to the puritanical morality described here, is connected to the morality of cooperation. Copyright © 2023 The Author(s).
