Rapid daily moral switching between harm and prosocial life corrodes moral integrity

Evidence

Abrupt daily shifts between moral engagement and disengagement are undoubtedly another major stressor. Having to turn one’s morality off and on, day in and day out, between lethal air strikes and prosocial home life makes it difficult to maintain a sense of moral integrity. — Albert Bandura, Moral Disengagement, 462

Categorization

• XREF: Connects to the book’s core theme of moral disengagement as episodic rather than constant; also echoes Milgram’s sequential justifications in obedience studies.
• QUESTION: Worth chasing: does this predict burnout or moral injury more sharply than chronic disengagement?
