What is Moral Disengagement : How People Do Harm and Live with Themselves about?

How Do Otherwise Considerate Human Beings Do Cruel Things And Still Live In Peace With Themselves? Drawing On His Agentic Theory, Dr. Bandura Provides A Definitive Exposition Of The Psychosocial Mechanism By Which People Selectively Disengage Their Moral Self-sanctions From Their Harmful Conduct. They Do So By Sanctifying Their Harmful Behavior As Serving Worthy Causes; They Absolve Themselves Of Blame For The Harm They Cause By Displacement And Diffusion Of Responsibility; They Minimize Or Deny The Harmful Effects Of Their Actions; And They Dehumanize Those They Maltreat And Blame Them For Bringing The Suffering On Themselves. Dr. Bandura's Theory Of Moral Disengagement Is Uniquely Broad In Scope. Theories Of Morality Focus Almost Exclusively At The Individual Level. He Insightfully Extends The Disengagement Of Morality To The Social-system Level Through Which Large-scale Inhumanities Are Perpetrated...moral Disengagement Will Transform Your Thinking About How Otherwise Considerate People Can Behave Inhumanely And Still Feel Good About Themselves--book Jacket.
