Exploring the psychological mechanisms behind human cruelty, this textbook delves into how individuals rationalize harmful actions while maintaining self-acceptance. Dr. Bandura outlines various strategies people employ to disengage their moral self-sanctions, such as justifying their behavior as serving a noble purpose, minimizing harm, dehumanizing victims, and shifting blame. This comprehensive analysis sheds light on the complexities of human morality and the justifications that allow individuals to reconcile their actions with their self-image.
