This paper offers an integrated theoretical framework to explain interpersonal, moralistic conflict that combines the logic of the “pure sociology” approach with a social psychological framework that highlights the importance of the human capacity for language, evaluation, and justification. While violations of normative expectations are the root causes of moralistic conflict, the paper argues that one can only determine the emergence of such conflict by assessing the nature of the behavior in question in relation to the social locations of the participants in combination with the justifications invoked. The central question that the theory addresses can be distilled as follows: What explains the emergence of interpersonal, moralistic conflict? The paper specifies three core assumptions, followed by a delineation of a series of propositions designed to explicate the conditions under which moralistic conflicts emerge. The theory identifies the combination of the social geometry of interpersonal encounters along with the mechanisms that typically are used to justify the grievances that individuals express toward one another.

解释人际道德冲突的综合理论框架

本文提供了一个综合的理论框架来解释人际、道德冲突，该框架将“纯社会学”方法的逻辑与强调人类语言、评估和辩护能力的重要性的社会心理学框架相结合。虽然违反规范期望是道德冲突的根本原因，但该论文认为，人们只能通过评估与参与者的社会地位相关的行为的性质，并结合所援引的理由来确定这种冲突的出现。 . 该理论解决的核心问题可以提炼如下：是什么解释了人际、道德冲突的出现？该论文规定了三个核心假设，接下来是一系列命题的描述，旨在解释道德冲突出现的条件。该理论确定了人际交往的社会几何与通常用于证明个人对彼此表达不满的机制的结合。
