A cross-cultural approach to moral psychology starts from researchers withholding judgments about universal right and wrong and instead exploring what the members of a community subjectively perceive to be moral or immoral in their local context. This study seeks to identify the moral concerns that are most relevant to listeners of hip-hop music. We use validated psychological surveys including the Moral Foundations Questionnaire (Graham, Haidt, & Nosek 2009) to assess which moral concerns are most central to hip-hop listeners. Results show that hip-hop listeners prioritize concerns of justice and authenticity more than non-listeners and deprioritize concerns of respecting authority. These results suggest that the concept of the “good person” within hip-hop culture is fundamentally a person that is oriented towards social justice, rebellion against the status quo, and a deep devotion to keeping it real. Results are followed by a discussion of the role of youth subcultures in moral socialization.

说唱听众的道德优先

道德心理学的跨文化方法始于研究人员对普遍的对与错作出判断，而不是探究社区成员在其当地背景下主观上认为是道德还是不道德的东西。这项研究旨在确定与嘻哈音乐听众最相关的道德问题。我们使用经过验证的心理调查，包括道德基金会问卷调查（Graham，Haidt和Nosek，2009年）来评估哪些道德问题对嘻哈听众最为重要。结果表明，嘻哈听众比对非听众的关注更优先考虑正义和真实性，而对尊重权威的关注则优先。这些结果表明，嘻哈文化中的“好人”概念从根本上说是一个面向社会正义的人，对现状的反抗，以及对保持现实的热爱。结果之后，讨论了青年亚文化在道德社会化中的作用。
