The Viciousness and Caring of Sharing: Morality and Motivations of Online Shamers

Online shaming entails two contradictory outcomes: informal enforcement against deviant behavior, and violation of privacy rights. A set of studies shows this duality and demonstrates the role of morality in driving participation in online shaming. The results highlight the moderating effect of high (vs. low) identifiability of the wrongdoer.
