What is judged as morally right and wrong in war? I argue that despite many decades of research on moral psychology and the psychology of intergroup conflict, social psychology does not yet have a good answer to this question. However, it is a question of great importance because its answer has implications for decision-making in war, public policy, and international law. I therefore suggest a new way for psychology researchers to study the morality of war that combines the strengths of philosophical just-war theory with experimental techniques and theories developed for the psychological study of morality more generally. This novel approach has already begun to elucidate the moral judgments third-party observers make in war, and I demonstrate that these early findings have important implications for moral psychology, just-war theory, and the understanding of the morality of war.

在战争中什么被判断为道德上是对的？我认为，尽管对道德心理学和群体间冲突心理学进行了数十年的研究，但社会心理学对这一问题尚未有很好的答案。但是，这是一个非常重要的问题，因为其答案对战争，公共政策和国际法中的决策有影响。因此，我为心理学研究人员提出了一种研究战争道德的新方法，该方法将哲学正义战争理论的优势与实验技术和更广泛地用于道德心理学研究的理论相结合。这种新颖的方法已经开始阐明第三方观察员在战争中做出的道德判断，并且我证明了这些早期发现对道德心理学，正义战争理论，
