The present study aims to assess the influence of locus of control and moral disengagement on the moral judgment of young adults. 80 males and 80 females of age group 21-25 years were assessed on the dimensions of locus of control and moral disengagement. It was found out how these factors predicted the moral judgments of the sample in two situations situation 1 where out-group is perpetrator of violent acts and situation 2 where out-group is victim of such acts. Results show positive relationship between moral disengagement and punitive moral judgement. Males, as a group, are more likely to endorse judgments on moral issues than that of females. Socially defined group boundaries as the in group out group dichotomy in the present study facilitates differential moral judgement for the two groups.Keywords

The present study tries to investigate 'implicit moral reasoning' by using a priming paradigm wherein a prime can influence the categorization of a target word into two categories viz. 'morally wrong' or 'not morally wrong'. The participants comprised of healthy female young adults (age ranging from 18 to 25 years) with a minimum educational qualification of graduation in any discipline. The prime consisted of phrases (ranging from 5 to 9 words) denoting actions which are either a 'highly immoral activity' (e.g., 5 year old girl raped) or a 'highly moral activity' (e.g., girl jumps into river to save little brother). The target words had a 'non-moral' negative connotation (e.g., Distress, Illness). The prime and targets were presented with the help of a software designed for the purpose; the 'latency' of responding to the target and the 'frequency' of target being categorized into 'morally wrong' in each condition (i.e., variation of nature of prime) was measured. Statistical analysis revealed that target words (which are inherently unpleasant but without explicit moral connotation) are likely to be morally judged or categorised based on the nature of prime received by the participant (i.e., prime phrase denoting a moral activity or an immoral activity).Keywords

The present study aims to explore the cognitive basis of self-deception on the basis of the participants' performance on a deception task and its relation to other cognitive variables. A total of 130 healthy participants (58 males & 72 females) of the age range of 18-25 years having a minimum educational qualification of 'passed grade XII' were screened and selected for the study using General Health Questionnaire 28. By using an interview format, the researcher collected personally significant information from the participants to be used later in the deception task. An android based mobile application was prepared to generate and administer the deception task. The participants were also assessed on Stroop Task (www.onlinestrooptest.com), Eyesenck Personality Questionnaire (1975); Rotter's Locus of Control Scale (1954); Rosenberg's Self-Esteem Scale (1965); Generalized Self-Efficacy Scale (Schwarzer & Jerusalem, 1995). Statistical analysis revealed self-deception is related to personality and cognitive inhibition. The results were discussed in light of recent literature.Keywords

Morality has been a topic of avid interest among researchers with several attempts at defining it. The present research tries to study the relationship between social information processing attribution bias and moral judgment style in the Indian population by using the Social Information Processing-Attribution Bias Questionnaire (SIP-ABQ, Coccaro et al., 2009) and Moral Judgement Style Scale (Bhattacharyya & Ray, unpublished Ph.D. thesis, 2021). The sample consists of 206 young adults (aged between 19 to 33 years) out of which 100 are male and 106 are female. The results reveal that 'instrumental intent' significantly predicts 'moral judgment style' in both male and female participants while benign intent significantly predicts 'moral judgment style' only in female participants.Keywords
