DESCRIPTION:In moral situations\, do people actually want to do the right 
 thing\, or simply avoid feeling inadequate? Recognizing that moral motivat
 ion\, at the proximal level\, often centers merely around preserving one's
  self-image helps elucidate otherwise puzzling phenomena: Why is it\, for 
 example\, that do-gooders are sometimes so annoying to others? Why do peop
 le\, after performing good deeds\, feel that it's more OK to make dodgier 
 choices? And can ethical behavior be fostered simply by reinforcing the li
 nk between an action and its implication for the moral character of the pe
 rpetrator? I will present studies exploring these questions and demonstrat
 ing the importance of moral self-image in everyday morality.
