Moral Licensing

If you do something "right", something "moral", did you know that you may be more likely to use that as "credit" towards doing something "wrong" or immoral in the future.

"We all like to think of ourselves as morally sound individuals. However in doing so we often assume that morality is static – that we are consistently moral to some extent over time. In reality, research suggests that most of us will behave in contradictory ways and act both morally and immorally from time to time. Interestingly, when we think about our past moral actions, we are likely to engage engage in compensatory behaviour and act immorally going forward."

"For instance, if you recently donated to charity, you may donate less money at a future charity event or be less willing to volunteer. This has been termed moral licensing, and describes how previous engagement in moral behaviour provides people with moral "credits" that then affords them with a ticket to subsequently engage in morally questionable behaviour."
