The authors of the study defined "shared moral character" as a combination of self-assessment and the assessments made by others, capturing both moral identity and reputation.
Individuals with higher shared moral character tend to demonstrate qualities such as agreeableness, conscientiousness, and high honesty-humility, indicating positive moral traits.
The study sheds light on how personality psychology and moral philosophy differ; potentially enhancing our understanding of moral character through a psychological lens.
The concept of moral character is further nuanced by the distinction between moral identity (private moral states) and moral reputation (observed actions), revealing complexity in self-assessment versus public perception.
