RESUMEN
The previous moral injury theory implied the premise of taking individual as the research object, while there were few studies on collective moral injury. Collective moral injury is defined as a series of consequences of violating widely accepted moral beliefs rather than simply adding up symptoms of injured individuals within a group. From the America "Floyd Case", this paper analyzed the functional elements and generating mechanism of collective moral injury, that was, the diversification of trauma sources events could appear alone or interweave, collective moral resilience showed the characteristics of social integrity and time accumulation, the interaction between collective trauma sources and collective moral resilience determined whether collective moral injury occurs. As the We-Media become popular, collective feature of moral injury is more evident, which presents two new features that the Internet platform becomes a hub for trauma events and the information Internet recorded consolidates collective moral resilience. To deal with collective moral injury, it was needed to respond to social concerns and guidance moral public opinion, respect the original endogenous order and inherit the traditional culture, satisfy reasonable moral needs and enlighten moral sense of people as well.
RESUMEN
Objective:To explore the relationship between moral sense of life and prosocial behavior among medical students, and the multiple mediating effects of meaning in life and empathy.Methods:A total of 721 medical students from Weifang Medical University were tested with moral sense of life scale (MSLS), meaning in life questionnaire (MLQ), interpersonal reactivity index-C (IRI-C) and prosocial behavior tendency scale (PBTS). Common method bias test, Spearman correlation analysis and hierarchical regression analysis were conducted to analyze the data using SPSS 22.0 software, and PROCESS macro program was used to test the mediating effect of meaning in life and empathy between moral sense of life and prosocial behavior.Results:Moral sense of life, meaning in life, empathy and prosocial behavior were significantly positively correlated with each other( r=0.24-0.56, all P<0.01). Analysis of mediating effects revealed that moral sense of life affected prosocial behavior through three indirect pathways: the separate meditating effects of both meaning in life and empathy (the effect size=0.11, 0.06), accounting for 57.89% and 31.58% of the total indirect effect respectively), the chain mediating effect of meaning in life and empathy (the effect size=0.02), accounting for 10.53% of the total indirect effect. Meaning in life and empathy play a full mediating role in the relationship between moral sense of life and prosocial behavior. Conclusion:Moral sense of life can indirectly increase medical students′ prosocial behavior through meaning in life and empathy. Meaning in life and empathy exert a chain-mediating effect between moral sense of life and prosocial behavior.
RESUMEN
En este artículo se estudian las justificaciones morales sobre lo bueno y lo malo de niñas y niños de contextos considerados violentos y no violentos de una ciudad de la Zona Andina colombiana. Se utilizaron talleres pedagógicos durante los cuales los niños y niñas manifestaron y ejemplificaron de diversas maneras (dibujos, dramatizaciones, discusiones de grupo, entrevistas grupales) lo que para ellos era lo bueno y lo malo y sus razones para ello. Se utilizó un diseño de estudio de caso múltiple de dos casos y en cada contexto se trabajó con tres niños y dos niñas que cursaban cuarto grado y tenían entre los 9 y los 11 años. Todos los talleres e interacciones con los niños y niñas se grabaron en audio y se transcribieron. Para su análisis se utilizó la técnica de análisis del discurso propuesta por Van Dijk (2000). Los resultados mostraron que los niños y niñas de ambos contextos comparten algunas preocupaciones morales tales como la preservación de la naturaleza, la protección de la vida y el mantenimiento del orden vigente. También se encontraron diferencias. Entre ellas, en el contexto violento los niños y las niñas enfatizaron la preservación de la propia vida y la lealtad. En el contexto no violento se encontró un marcado énfasis en la perspectiva política con referencia al orden legalmente establecido. Se concluyó que el énfasis de los niños y niñas del contexto violento en la lealtad como principio de acción requiere mayor estudio porque podría configurar un posible tercer principio moral de regulación más allá de los dos principios ya establecidos de la justicia y del cuidado.
The purpose of this research project was to identify and compare the moral reasoning of a group of children from a violent context and a group of children from a non-violent context in a city of the Colombian Andean region. A two-group multiple-case study design was used. Five fourth-grade children from a violent context and five fourth-grade children from a non-violent context, aged 9 to 11, participated in separate workshops during which they expressed and gave examples of what they considered good and bad by means of individual drawings, group dramatizations and discussions, as well as group interviews. Results indicate that children in both contexts share some moral preoccupations, such as protection of the environment, preservation of life and keeping of order. There were also differences. Among them, in the violent context children emphasized the preservation of their own lives and loyalty. In the non-violent context there was a marked tendency to political considerations regarding the legally established order. Conclusions show that children in the violent context place great emphasis on loyalty as an action-guiding principle. It seems to require greater study because loyalty might emerge as a moral orientation beyond those already widely accepted: justice and care.
