EP05 Conversation Hour 19 - Moral Disengagement in the Perpetration of Inhumanities - Albert Bandura, Ph.D.
This presentation examines the psychosocial mechanisms by which people selectively disengage moral self-sanctions from inhumane conduct. The moral disengagement may center on redefining inhumane conduct as a benign or socially worthy one by moral justification, sanitizing language and expedient comparison with worse cruelty; disavowal of personal agency in the harm one causes by diffusing or displacement of responsibility; disregarding or minimizing the injurious effects of one's actions and dehumanizing those who are victimized and blaming them for bringing the suffering on themselves. Given the many mechanisms for disengaging moral control at individual and collective levels, civilized life requires in addition to human personal standard, safeguards built into social systems that uphold compassionate behavior and renounce cruelty.
This address will focus on self-efficacy as the foundation of human motivation, well-being and accomplishments. Whatever other factors may serve as guides and motivators, they are rooted in the core belief that one has the power to effect changes. This address will analyze the source of people's beliefs in their efficacy, their cognitive, motivational and emotional effects, and how to build a resilient sense of efficacy for personal and social betterment.
