In this article, we reflect critically on how moral actions are categorised in some recent studies on moral spillovers. Based on classic concepts from moral philosophy, we present a framework to categorise moral actions. We argue that with a finer classification of the moral values, associated behaviour is better understood, and this understanding helps to identify the conditions under which moral licensing takes place. We illustrate our argument with examples from the literature on pro-environmental behaviours. Moral spillovers are frequently studied in this behavioural domain and to understand what causes their occurrence is highly (policy) relevant if we wish to promote sustainable behaviour.

在行为溢出效应中绘制道德多元主义：对我们参与道德评价的多种方式的跨学科解释

在本文中，我们批判性地反思了在最近的一些关于道德溢出的研究中如何对道德行为进行分类。基于道德哲学的经典概念，我们提出了一个对道德行为进行分类的框架。我们认为，通过对道德价值观进行更精细的分类，可以更好地理解相关行为，这种理解有助于确定道德许可发生的条件。我们用有关环保行为的文献中的例子来说明我们的论点。在这个行为领域经常研究道德溢出，如果我们希望促进可持续行为，那么了解其发生的原因是高度（政策）相关的。
