Loneliness and Moral Identity
We examine how loneliness influences moral identity—the extent to which being a moral person is important to an individual’s identity. Across three studies, we show lonely people consider being a moral person as less important to their identity, and this effect of loneliness on moral identity is mediated by empathy.
