Resumo
As a result of evolving mechanisms of social learning, the monitoring of personal and social standards appropriate to a person composes the essence of what makes him who he is. This dissertation aimed to investigate the intricate relationship between reflexivity and morality. A research was conducted in a virtual format, duly approved by the Research Ethics Committee. A total of 721 Brazilian adults participated in the study. The results are presented and discussed in three articles. Article 1, entitled Evidence of validity of a Brazilian version of the Moral Foundations Questionnaire (FMQ), aimed to adapt and validate the Moral Foundations Questionnaire (QFM) for the Brazilian context. For that, two quantitative studies were performed, in which the data were submitted to exploratory and confirmatory factorial analysis. Although a five-factor structure was expected, the two factors found presented satisfactory psychometric characteristics, approaching a hierarchical model. Article 2, titled Self-perception, empathy and moral self-concept predict moral concerns in adults., correlated scales of self-awareness, empathy, and moral self-concept to QFM, in which data were subjected to correlation and regression analyzes. The results indicated that the way in which individuals care for others and the groups they belong to seems to be strongly related to the moral concept that one has of oneself and to the emotions one is able to process in everyday situations involving moral issues . The opposition found between moral intuition and metacognitive processes supports evidence for the theory of moral foundations on which QFM is based. Article 3, entitled Reflexivity on moral actions in adults: a phenomenological-semiotic study, followed a qualitative methodology, according to the criteria of phenomenologysemiotics. The moral reflexivity presented itself as a complex psychological phenomenon, with qualities such as being mediated by implicit and explicit processes and modulated by feelings, and can be governed by internal or external control. Moreover, it has proved to be a phenomenon capable of generating cognitive dissonances on the one hand, and personal senses for moral action, on the other hand. In general, it is concluded that reflexivity can influence both intuitive judgments and moral actions; on the other hand, an intentional action is capable of exerting influence on intuitive judgments, reflexivity and self, especially if this moral content (or transgressor).
