“…We measured ethical virtue using the Santa Clara Ethics Scale (Plante & McCreadie, 2019; for conceptual review, see Basu & Mandal, 2021), a 10-item list of ethically relevant statements (e.g., “respecting others, even those who I don’t like or agree with, is very important to me”).

Although ethics are often considered a personal matter, the effects of ethical virtue are interpersonal. Namely, a colloquial understanding of the ethically virtuous person is someone who is compassionate, giving, and helpful toward other people and who stands up for what they believe. This would suggest that ethical virtue involves interpersonal agency and engagement. However, the interpersonal nature of ethical virtue has not yet been examined empirically. In this study, we examined the projection of ethical virtue across the interpersonal circumplex in a sample of women and men in the United States recruited via Prolific (N = 327). Results suggest that ethical virtue has a strong and consistent association with interpersonal warmth. These findings add to our understanding of the interpersonal nature of ethical virtue and suggest directions for future research. Public Significance StatementThis article examines the interpersonal characteristics of ethical virtue. Its results show that at its most basic, ethics involves being connected to and accepting of others.
