Moral elevation is an emotional experience elicited after witnessing acts of exceptional moral goodness and involves feeling moved and inspired. Previous research has demonstrated that experiences of moral elevation can lead to increased altruism. We examined whether the benefits of moral elevation on prosocial intentions extend to the context of intractable intergroup conflict, by testing whether moral elevation increases support for outgroup-favorable policies. We hypothesized that moral elevation would increase support for humanitarian policies, but not political concessions, as only the former are considered to be within the moral domain. To test this, we ran three studies in the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, including a preregistered replication, and found overall support for our hypothesis. This research is the first to demonstrate that moral elevation can play an important role in the context of intractable conflict by increasing support for alleviating outgroup suffering, but it also suggests that the effect of elevation is limited in that it does not extend to increasing support for political compromises.

在棘手的冲突中,道德提升会增加对人道主义政策的支持,但不会增加政治上的让步

道德提升是亲眼目睹异常道德善举之后引起的一种情感体验,涉及感动和启发。先前的研究表明,道德提升的经历会导致利他主义的增加。我们通过测试道德提升是否增加了对有利于群体的政策的支持,来检验道德提升对亲社会意图的好处是否扩展到顽固的群体间冲突的背景。我们假设道德上的提升将增加对人道主义政策的支持,但不会增加政治上的让步,因为只有前者被认为属于道德范畴之内。为了验证这一点,我们在以巴冲突的背景下进行了三项研究,包括预先注册的复制,并发现了对我们假设的总体支持。
