There is always room for moral improvement. However, very few prior reviews have focused on the phenomenon of moral improvement of self, social relations, or society. We first consider prevailing notions of the self-concept by highlighting the niche of theory and research that identifies an improving self as a possible identity and basis of motivation to act better and to be better. Second, we discuss moral improvement in the context of social relations, especially the close interpersonal relations that should most facilitate moral improvement. Third, we examine the moral improvement of society, focusing on the factors that facilitate or inhibit caring about potential immorality despite the fact that issues such as inequality, discrimination, and the climate crisis seem to be morally distant and impersonal. Finally, we discuss future directions for theory, research, and application.

自我、社会关系和社会的道德提升


道德总是有提升的空间。然而，之前的评论很少关注自我、社会关系或社会的道德改善现象。我们首先通过强调理论和研究的利基来考虑自我概念的流行概念，这些理论和研究将自我改进视为可能的身份和动机的基础，以更好地行动和变得更好。其次，我们在社会关系的背景下讨论道德的提高，特别是最有利于道德提高的密切的人际关系。第三，我们审视社会的道德进步，重点关注促进或抑制潜在不道德行为的因素，尽管不平等、歧视和气候危机等问题在道德上似乎是遥远和客观的。最后，我们讨论了理论、研究和应用的未来方向。
