Psychology of Moral Failure

Identifying strongly with a group can override personal morals, leading to unethical actions that benefit your 'in-group'. Our group affiliations create a powerful bias, making us more likely to justify or commit unethical acts if they are perceived to protect or advance our group's status. This drive to favor our own can cause us to harm 'out-groups', suggesting that a sense of belonging can dangerously sway our moral compass.
