Please be cautious in using the transcripts.

They were created mechanically and have mostly not been checked or revised.

Here is how they were created:

  1. live lecture recorded;
  2. machine transcription of live recording;
  3. ask LLM to clean up transcript, and link to individual slides.

This is an error-prone process.

Moral Disengagement: Significance

insert-transcript#080c41c6-60f1-466e-9cb9-a93dab1c5ec9-here

How, if at all, does a person’s reasoning influence their moral judgements?

In moral disengagement there is anticipation of self-inflicted punishment

which triggers reasoning

that influences moral judgements and actions.

One compelling reason for studying moral psychology is that ethical abilities appear to play a central role in atrocities
bandura notes that massive threats to human welfare stem mainly from deliberate acts of principle rather than unrestrained acts of impulse and he goes on to note and he develops essentially over several decades of work that those principles and their role in guiding the action seems to involve quite a significant role for reason

‘The massive threats to human welfare stem mainly from deliberate acts of principle, rather than from unrestrained acts of impulse’ (Bandura, 2002, p. 116).

‘If we ask people why they hold a particular moral view [their] reasons are often superficial and post hoc. If the reasons are successfully challenged, the moral judgment often remains.’

‘basic values are implemented in our psychology in a way that puts them outside certain practices of justification [...] basic values seem to be implemented in an emotional way’

(Prinz, 2007, p. 32).

It’s also reason, not just emotion, that enabled ordinary people like these to perpetrate perhaps the most atrocious acts in human history.

Further significance: We also have evidence for the 'sometimes' part

puzzle

Why are moral judgements sometimes, but not always, a consequence of reasoning from known principles?

Can strengthen this by considering moral disengagement.
