Class matters in moral disengagement
Original language description
Past research has shown that moral disengagement, i.e. deactivation of moral controls, relates to bullying. Even though several studies brought strong evidence on a great inter-class variability of prevalence of bullying, there has been a lack of group-level analyses that would examine relationships between moral disengagement and class membership. The present study tested if class membership relates to moral disengagement. Czech sixth-graders aged 11 to 13 years (n=264) participated in the study. Bullying was captured by self-reports on Olweus Bully/Victim Questionnaire. Moral disengagement was measured as a score on Cognitive Restructuring/Blaming victim scale of an original instrument. ANOVA statistics revealed that (1) class membership affected moral disengagement scores and (2) its effect was significant even when bullying and sex were taken as covariates. The outcomes underscore a need to examine inter-class variability of moral disengagement and possible intervening variables.
