dc.description.abstract | This ‘Semi-structured Interview of Moral cognitionS’ (SIMS) is a synthesis of our experience and research in
the fields of clinical/forensic psychology and forensic psychiatry. As an interview the SIMS aims to make the
non-understandable understandable and to demystify serious acts of violence. The ‘Semi-structured Interview of Moral cognitionS’ assesses six broad domains which may be associated
with violence (O’Reilly et al, 2017; Graham and Haidt, 2012). Five of the domains concern the moral themes
of ‘Care-Harm,’ ‘Fairness-injustice’, ‘Loyalty-Betrayal’, ‘Authority’, and ‘Purity’, which are drawn from moral
foundations theory (Haidt, 2007), in contrast the sixth domain focuses on ‘Egoism and immorality’. The five
moral domains are thought to be innate and universal appearing in all cultures (Haidt, 2007). But cultures and
individuals may differ with regard to how specific acts are categorised allowing for considerable variation
(Haidt, 2007). Moral foundations theory and moral psychology more generally provides a framework for
understanding what individuals believe to be moral, however mistaken they may be, and therefore can be
contrasted with moral philosophy where the task is often to define what is moral (Pinker, 2002). Because
moral psychology concerns what individuals believe, moral attitudes can be erroneously used to justify
violence (Fisk and Rai, 2014; Pinker, 2002; O’Reilly et al, 2018 in press). Mercy killings, feuds, crimes of
passion, punishments, and honour killings can all be associated with specific moral domains (Fisk and Rai,
2014; Graham and Haidt, 2012) | en |
