“…Integration of the current findings with those from past MD sport research reveals some common findings. Consistent with the current findings, Corrion et al (2009) andTraclet et al (2011) found displacement of responsibility to be one of the most frequent mechanisms when athletes described their reasons for transgressing in their sport. Also, as seen here, dehumanisation has been evidenced infrequently (Corrion et al, 2009) or not at all (Boardley & Grix, 2013;Traclet et al, 2011) in past studies.…”

Thus, the specific nature of moral justification in physical activity contexts may differ due to specific situational characteristics.…”

This study investigated psychosocial processes associated with avoidance of health- and morality-based deterrents to performance-enhancing drug (PED) use. In-depth semi-structured interviews were conducted with 64 English male bodybuilders with experience of doping. Resultant data were content analysed deductively using definitions for the eight mechanisms of moral disengagement (MD; Bandura, A. (1991). Social cognitive theory of moral thought and action. In W. M. Kurtines & J. L. Gewirtz (Eds.), Handbook of moral behavior and development: Theory research and applications (pp. 71-129). Hillsdale, NJ: Lawrence Erlbaum Associates.), and three further themes from Boardley and Grix (2013. Doping in bodybuilders: A qualitative investigation of facilitative psychosocial processes. Qualitative Research in Sport, Exercise, and Health. Advance online publication, doi 10.1080/2159676X.2013.766809). These analyses evidenced six MD mechanisms, and all three of the themes from Boardley and Grix (2013. Doping in bodybuilders: A qualitative investigation of facilitative psychosocial processes. Qualitative Research in Sport, Exercise, and Health. Advance online publication). Subsequent frequency analyses revealed six of the eight MD mechanisms, and two of the three additional themes, were common across the sample. Overall, the findings suggest MD may help athletes circumvent health- and morality-based deterrents to doping, describe a process linking supplement and PED use and detail how some athletes may actively avoid social censure for doping by only discussing PED use with other PED users from within their training environment.

“…Individuals are then released from guilt that would ensue from violating certain standards, making it easier and more acceptable to behave in a questionable way (Detert, Sweitzer & Trevino, 2008: 375). Although the theory was originally developed to explain why people engage in inhumane conduct without apparent distress 2 , the theory has also been applied to other types of misbehavior, such as corruption (Moore, 2008), social loafing and anti-social behavior in soccer (Traclet, Romand, Moret & Kavussanu, 2011). …”

Rule bending by morally disengaged detectives: an ethnographic study

Rule bending is a well-known practice in policing worldwide, often linked to 'noble cause corruption'. This ethnographic study shows how police detectives sometimes consider to creatively bend rules when rule abidance would lead to other values being jeopardized. This paper illustrates that the theory of role strain and moral disengagement could deepen our understanding of underlying mechanisms that explain rule bending practices. The mechanism of 'insulation from observability' in role strain theory and the mechanisms of 'moral justification' and 'displacement of responsibility' in moral disengagement seem to be applied often. However, these findings need further testing in future research.3

“…A scenario technique that has already been implemented in studies specifically aimed at mapping people's attitudes in diverse domains (e.g., Kpanake, Sorum & Mullet, 2016) was used. Four factors, borrowed from the literature on aggression in sport, were considered in the scenarios: (a) the number and kind of previous aggressive acts that have affected the player (Anestis, Anestis, Selby, & Joiner, 2009); (b) the current team's score (Maxwell, Visek, & Moores, 2009); (c) the coach's attitude to aggression (Traclet, Moret, Romand, & Kavussanu, 2011); and (d) the risk of being sanctioned (Shapcott, Bloom, & Loughead, 2007).…”

During sporting events, players' reactions to opponents' aggression vary in widely different ways. Some players are able to exert strong selfcontrol. Other players immediately react to the first aggressive act. Still other players adopt middle-ground behaviors. We examined whether it was possible to find empirical support for these qualitatively different ways to react to aggression. Handball playing was chosen because it involves a lot of physical/social interactions. Fifty amateur players were presented with a set of scenarios containing information about: the number and kind of previous aggressive acts that have affected the player; the current team's score; the coach's attitude to aggressive behavior among players; and the risk of being sanctioned in case of retaliation. They were asked to rate, separately, the level of anger they would experience in each case and the probability that they retaliate. Through cluster analysis, three qualitatively different ways to react to aggressive behavior during sport events were found; they were called Self-Control (44%), Depending on Circumstances (30%), and High Reactivity (14%). Implications for coaches and referees are discussed. Keywords aggression, anger, retaliation, handball, individual differences. RESUMENDurante los eventos deportivos, las reacciones de los jugadores a la agresión de los oponentes varían ampliamente y en diferentes maneras. Algunos jugadores son capaces de ejercer un fuerte auto-control. Otros jugadores reaccionan inmediatamente al primer acto agresivo. Otros jugadores adoptan comportamientos moderados. Este estudio examinó si era posible encontrar apoyo empírico para estas maneras cualitativamente diferentes de reaccionar a la agresión. El balonmano fue el deporte elegido porque implica una gran cantidad de interacciones físicas y sociales. A cincuenta jugadores aficionados se les presentó un conjunto de escenarios que contenían información sobre: el número y los tipos de agresiones previas que habían afectado al jugador, los marcadores actuales del equipo, la actitud del entrenador frente al comportamiento agresivo entre los jugadores, y el riesgo de ser sancionado en caso de tomar represalias. Se les pidió que respondieran, por separado, el nivel de ira que experimentarían en cada caso y la probabilidad de que tomaran venganza. Se realizó un análisis de conglomerados, y se observaron tres formas cualitativamente diferentes de reaccionar ante el comportamiento agresivo durante los eventos deportivos; estas
