Moral Disengagement First Edition explores the psychological mechanisms that enable individuals to selectively disengage their moral standards, allowing them to commit harmful acts without significant guilt. This book examines cognitive and social processes like moral justification, diffusion of responsibility, and dehumanization, demonstrating how these mechanisms operate in diverse contexts from everyday interactions to large-scale atrocities. Understanding moral disengagement is crucial for addressing violence, injustice, and ethical lapses. This book offers invaluable insights for researchers, practitioners, and anyone interested in the complexities of human morality and behavior.
