“…We do not contend that these are the only and final six foundations; rather, these six seem to capture many enduring beliefs and behaviors, and seem to have lasting explanatory power. Building beyond these six foundations, scholars have been investigating additional candidate moral foundations such as liberty (Iyer et al., 2012) and ownership (Atari & Haidt, 2023). What MFT emphatically proposes is pluralism, arguing that reducing the moral domain to one single foundation does not capture the breadth of moral judgments.…”

“…The first two—Care and Fairness—are often referred to as individualizing foundations, whereas the latter—Loyalty, Authority, and Sanctity—are also known as the binding foundations. Although recent research has revealed the possibility of additional foundations (e.g., ownership, liberty; Atari & Haidt, 2023, Iyer et al., 2012) and has proposed breaking Fairness into Equality and Proportionality (Atari et al., 2023; we elaborate on this point in the next section), those five initial foundations are the ones on which most empirical work has been done (Graham et al., 2013).…”

Although researchers have considered the role of morality in consumer psychology over the years, such investigations often fail to (a) recognize the different values that consumers might hold, and (b) provide proper context for why different moral considerations emerge. Moral Foundations Theory (MFT; Graham et al., Advances in experimental social psychology, 2013, Academic Press; Haidt & Joseph, Daedalus, 2004, 133, 55) provides just such a conceptual framework for understanding the diversity of moral thought that exists across cultures and demographic groups. MFT describes morality not as a monolithic entity, but as a pluralistic set of intuitive values that were shaped by evolutionary pressures and edited by distinct cultures. We review the central claims of MFT and describe how the theory can offer new insights when applied to consumer psychology, providing examples from existing research on persuasion, emotion, and prosocial behavior.

“…For example, liberty/oppression is now also included as a basis for the sixth foundation 8 . Moreover, equality and proportionality (e.g., 9 ), honor 10 , and ownership 11 have been proposed as candidate domains or in the place of the “ Fairness/reciprocity ” domain (e.g., 9 ). Further, Curry, Mullins, and Whitehouse 12 reported the seven types of cooperative behaviors for universal moral rules.…”

Different judgment frameworks for moral compliance and moral violation

In recent decades, the field of moral psychology has focused on moral judgments based on some moral foundations/categories (e.g., harm/care, fairness/reciprocity, ingroup/loyalty, authority/respect, and purity/sanctity). When discussing the moral categories, however, whether a person judges moral compliance or moral violation has been rarely considered. We examined the extent to which moral judgments are influenced by each other across moral categories and explored whether the framework of judgments for moral violation and compliance would be different. For this purpose, we developed the episodes set for moral and affective behaviors. For each episode, participants evaluated valence, arousal, morality, and the degree of relevance to each of the Haidt's 5 moral foundations. The cluster analysis showed that the moral compliance episodes were divided into three clusters, whereas the moral violation episodes were divided into two clusters. Also, the additional experiment indicated that the clusters might not be stable in time. These findings suggest that people have different framework of judgments for moral compliance and moral violation.

Moral judgments are shaped by socialization and cultural heritage. Understanding how moral considerations vary across the globe requires the systematic development of moral stimuli for use in different cultures and languages. Focusing on Dutch populations, we adapted and validated two recent instruments for examining moral judgments: (1) the Moral Foundations Vignettes (MFVs) and (2) the Socio-Moral Image Database (SMID). We translated all 120 MFVs from English into Dutch and selected 120 images from SMID that primarily display moral, immoral, or neutral content. A total of 586 crowd-workers from the Netherlands provided over 38,460 individual judgments for both stimuli sets on moral and affective dimensions. For both instruments, we find that moral judgments and relationships between the moral foundations and political orientation are similar to those reported in the US, Australia, and Brazil. We provide the validated MFV and SMID images, along with associated rating data, to enable a broader study of morality.
