Moral Motivation and the Four Component Model

Stephen J. Thoma, Muriel J. Bebeau

Open publisher page 24 citations

Abstract

In the early 1980s, Rest proposed a Four-Component Model of moral functioning in which moral motivation is featured. Although less well articulated than the other three components, Rest suggested that moral motivation influences moral action directly and in interaction with the other components of the moral system. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
