초록

권력이 도덕적 기능에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구는 꾸준히 증가되어 왔으나 권력이 도덕적 위선에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구는 아직 미미하다. 도덕적 위선의 정의와 선행연구에 기반하여 본 연구에서는 고권력감이 도덕적 위선을 더 높일 것이며, 그 관계를 개인의 도덕적 정체성이 조절할 것이라고 가정하고 이를 검증하였다. 연구 1에서는 3개 권력조건(고권력, 저권력, 통제조건)과 2개의 자기관련성 조건(도덕규범위반판단, 실제 비도덕행동)에 따른 집단구성을 통해 자기관련성에 따라 권력조건간의 차이가 있는지를 살펴보았다. 연구 2에서는 도덕적 정체성을 측정하여 권력조건(고권력, 저권력), 자기관련성(자신, 타인), 도덕적 정체성(고, 저)간의 3원 상호작용효과를 살펴보았다. 연구 1의 결과는 고권력감이 도덕적 위선을 높이는 것으로 나타났는데, 구체적으로, 일반적 규범판단에서는 저권력조건이 다른 두 조건보다 더 비윤리를 수용하는 모습을 보였으나 실제 도덕적 행동에서는 고권력조건이 통제조건보다는 유의미하게 비윤리적이었으며, 저권력조건보다는 비윤리적인 경향성을 보였다. 아울러 전체적 결과를 살펴볼 때, 저권력 집단이 일반 사람에 비해 자신에게 더 엄격한 도덕성을 보이는 것은 아닌 것으로 나타났다. 권력이 도덕적 위선에 미치는 영향은 도덕적 정체성이 조절하는 것으로 나타나, 도덕적 정체성이 낮은 집단에서만 고권력자가 도덕적 위선을 보이는 것으로 나타났으며 반대로 도덕적 정체성이 높은 집단에서는 고권력자가 오히려 자신에게 엄격한 모습을 보였다.

Abstract

Based on the previous research on moral hypocrisy and power, this paper hypothesized that power increases moral hypocrisy and moral identity moderates the relationship between them. In study 1, 3 power conditions (high power, low power, control) and 2 self-relevance conditions(moral norm judging, actual moral behavior) were designed to test the effect of power on moral judging and behavior. In study 2, the three-way interaction of power conditions(high, low), self-relevance conditions(self, others), and moral identity (high, low) was explored. Results of study 1 showed whereas the low power group expressed more generous standard to others compared to the high power and the control groups, the high power group showed more unethical elf-interested behaviors than the other groups. However, the general morality of power priming groups was lower than the control group, whether it is high power or low power, which does not support the argument that the powerless show hypercrisy. Study 2 unveiled the moderating role of moral identity. In specific, the powerful showed moral hypocrisy in the group with low moral identity. However, the powerful were more strict to themselves than to others in the group with high moral identity. The implications and limitations of this study and the directions for the future research were discussed.
