ABSTRACT If acting morally can be viewed as acting consistently with a moral principle or rule, then being a person with moral integrity can be viewed as consistently applying moral principles or rules across different types of situations. We advance a view of moral integrity that incorporates three distinct, but interrelated, types of moral consistency: cognitive, emotional and motivational moral consistency. Our approach is based on Self-Determination Theory, a motivational theory that can explain when a moral rule becomes the primary motive for behavior. We argue that moral integrity is achieved when a person acts on the basis of an internal moral system of principles, emotions and motives and provide an account of the way that it develops during a person’s interaction with the environment.

一致性与道德完整性：自决理论视角

摘要 如果道德行为可以被视为符合道德原则或规则的行为，那么道德正直的人可以被视为在不同类型的情况下始终如一地应用道德原则或规则。我们提出了一种道德完整性的观点，其中包含三种不同但相互关联的道德一致性类型：认知、情感和动机道德一致性。我们的方法基于自决理论，这是一种动机理论，可以解释道德规则何时成为行为的主要动机。我们认为，当一个人基于原则、情感和动机的内部道德系统行事并提供一个人与环境互动过程中它的发展方式时，道德完整性就实现了。
