This “Psychology Fact” is neither psychology nor fact.
In this episode, Michael, Ashley and Andy discuss this “Psychology Fact”meme.
If we assume that the ONLY people who get their hands dirty through manual labor are honest people … we are making a subjective judgment.
In reality, there are countless professionals like doctors, teachers, clinicians, and many more who work just as hard without getting their hands “dirty”. They are also morally honest people who work very hard, and try every day to make the world a better place.
Our sense of who is honest or moral, and who is not, begins in early toddlerhood and is influenced by our role models and the people around us.
Developmental Psychologist Lawrence Kohlberg describes 3 stages that people go through when developing their sense of morality:
Level 1 - Pre-Conventional Morality (9 or younger)
We haven’t developed a personal code of morality. Instead, our moral code is shaped by consequences for breaking rules and the standards of the adults around us.
Level 2 - Conventional Morality (Adolescents & Adults)
We start to internalize the moral standards of our role models.
Authority is internalized but not questioned, and reasoning is based on the norms of our peer groups.
Level 3 - Post-Conventional Morality
Our judgment is based on self-chosen principles, our moral reasoning is based on individual rights and justice. This level of moral reasoning is as far as most people get.
Higher Morality
Only 10-15% of people are capable of the kind of abstract thinking required to obtain morality beyond this. While everyone else takes their moral views from those around them, only a small percentage think through ethical principles for themselves. They are willing to break the conventional laws of their time to strive for a greater sense of justice.
