If you're starting a new article, you can develop it here until it's ready to go live. If you're working on improvements to an existing article, copy only one section at a time of the article to this sandbox to work on, and be sure to use an edit summary linking to the article you copied from. Do not copy over the entire article. You can find additional instructions here. Remember to save your work regularly using the "Publish page" button. (It just means 'save'; it will still be in the sandbox.) You can add bold formatting to your additions to differentiate them from existing content. |
Article Draft (moral psychology)
[edit]Peer Review Response
[edit]I think agree that I should add more historical information into the introduction to give it some more bulk. A common theme is to add more recent sources. I completely agree with this direction and I have been researching articles I think are beneficial but it's been a little struggle location recent sources but I think at least 2010's would be good and I plan on adding those very soon. There was a mention of religion and culture as a subtopic and I think that is a good path to take as well and I will be doing my best to add that into this article although progress has been a bit slow doing so. I will be adding those peer peer reviewed sources someone found on PsychINFO and I really appreciate that recommendation. I still have lots of information I need to add into this article and plan to do so soon.
Intro
[edit]<s>Moral psychology is a field of study in both philosophy and psychology</s>(PLAN TO REMOVE SENTENCE INFRONT) Moral Psychology is the study of human thought and behavior in ethical contexts.[1] This field of study is interdisciplinary between the application of philosophy and psychology. Historically, the term "moral psychology" was used relatively narrowly to refer to the study of moral development. <s>Moral psychology eventually came to refer more broadly to various topics at the intersection of ethics, psychology, and philosophy of mind.</s>(POSSIBLE REMOVAL OF SENTENCE AHEAD) Some of the main topics of the field are moral judgment, moral reasoning, moral sensitivity, moral responsibility, moral motivation, moral identity, moral action, moral development, moral diversity, moral character (especially as related to virtue ethics), altruism, psychological egoism, moral luck, moral forecasting, moral emotion, affective forecasting, and moral disagreement.
Today, moral psychology is a thriving area of research spanning many disciplines, with major bodies of research on the biological, cognitive/computational and cultural basis of moral judgment and behavior, and a growing body of research on moral judgment in the context of artificial intelligence.
Article body
[edit]Moral Enhancement (New Section)
[edit]Main Article: Moral enhancement
Moral enhancement (abbreviated ME), also called moral bioenhancement (abbreviated MBE), is the use of biomedical technology to morally improve individuals[2]. There is another subdiscipline under moral enhancement which is denoted as Traditional Moral Enhancement (TME). [3] Moral Enhancement is also considered the altering of moral behavior, moral traits, moral decision making, and or cognitive abilities but there hasn't been a clear cut definition of what it all entails[4].A scholar by the name of J.B.S Haldane made a statement "it is only hopeful if mankind can adjust its morality to its powers."[3] Haldane had a focus on using moral enhancement to improve the way society as whole functioned to increase the balance between morality and the usage of science.
Moral Identity
[edit]Moral identity refers to the importance of morality to a person's identity, typically construed as either a trait-like individual difference, or set of chronically accessible schemas. There are considered to be two main levels of perspective on moral identity. One of them the trait-based perspective theory where certain personality traits are triggered during moral situations.The second perspective is the socio-cognitive perspective where these moral identities are a "self-schema" that will occur due to the social environment. [5] Moral identity is theorized to be one of the key motivational forces connecting moral reasoning to moral behavior, as suggested by a 2016 meta-analysis reporting that moral identity is positively (albeit only modestly) associated with moral behavior. Although moral identity mainly focuses on a moral action there is sometimes "moral disengagement" that will take place too reduce the negative consequences of a action or lack of action. [5]

Instructor Feedback:
I have integrated some suggested edits below. Primarily, reworking proposed edits. I do not think deletion of the sentence "Moral psychology eventually..." is necessary, but perhaps you have additional plans for this section that have yet to be integrated. Your citation is an example of another encyclopedia based on my review (i.e., not peer-reviewed). I encourage you to review the assignment final rubric to familiarize yourself with the areas I will be assessing at the end of the semester. You will be required to introduce two new peer-reviewed secondary sources published in the last 10 years, as well as a new section.
