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


道德进步的空间总有。然而，很少有以前的评论关注自我、社会关系或社会的道德提升现象。我们首先通过强调理论和研究的利基来考虑流行的自我概念，这些理论和研究将改进的自我确定为一种可能的身份和动力，以更好地行动和变得更好。其次，我们讨论了社会关系背景下的道德提升，特别是最应该促进道德提升的密切人际关系。第三，我们研究社会的道德改善，关注促进或抑制关心潜在不道德的因素，尽管不平等、歧视和气候危机等问题在道德上似乎是遥远的和没有人情味的。最后，我们讨论了理论、研究和应用的未来方向。
