title = "Morality and psychological distance: A construal level theory perspective.",
abstract = "In this chapter, we explore the possibility that values and moral principles are more prominent in judgments and predictions regarding psychologically more distant events. This perspective is based on construal level theory (CLT; Liberman & Trope, 2008; Trope & Liberman, 2010), according to which the construal of psychologically more distant situations highlights their abstract, higher level features. Because values and moral rules tend to be abstract and general, people are more likely to use them in construing, judging, and planning with respect to psychologically more distant situations. In this chapter, we present the basic assumptions of CLT and explain how they apply to values and moral principles. We then discuss research examining how psychological distance affects (a) judgments of moral and immoral acts, (b) value-based plans, and (c) value-based persuasion. We also examine novel predictions of CLT with respect to the place of values and principles in people{\textquoteright}s lives. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2020 APA, all rights reserved)",
