Nov 1, 2013 · Satire is traditionally thought of as a literary mode with a moral purpose; the satirist writes “with a sense of moral vocation and with a concern for the public interest.” 1 It is clear that satires often address the same sorts of particular moral problems that papers in applied ethics do; for example, Jonathan Swift's A Modest Proposal addressed English attitudes toward Irish poverty in ...

Our conclusion so far is that researchers in social psychology have displayed a considerable interest in examining topics relating to morality. However, it is not self-evident how the multitude of research topics and issues that are addressed in this literature can be organized. This is why we set out to organize the available research in this area...
All the ways in which people consider, think, and reason by themselves to determine what is morally right refer to intra-personal mechanisms. Even if these considerations are elic-ited by social norms or reflect the behavior observed in others, it is important to assess the extent to which they emerge as guiding principles for individuals to be use...
The way people relate to others, respond to their moral behaviors, and connect to them tap into interpersonal mech-anisms. Again we note that such mechanisms are relevant for research questions in all five research themes, as relations with others can inform the way people reason about morality, the way they judge other individuals or groups, the w...
The role of moral concerns in defining group norms, the ten-dency of individuals to conform to such norms, and their resulting inclusion versus exclusion from the group all indi-cate intragroup mechanisms relevant to morality. Considering how groups influence individuals is relevant for our under-standing of the way people reason about morality and...
We identified two types of seminal publications. First, we assessed which (theoretical or empirical) publications out-side our set (excluding methodological publications) are most frequently cited in the publications we examined. Second, we determined which of the empirical publications within our set have received an outstanding number of citation...
Substantial knowledge has accumulated about the way peo-ple think about morality; however, we know much less about how this affects their moral behavior. We draw this conclu-sion based on the observation that by far most of the pub-lished studies in our review have addressed issues relating to moral reasoning—what people consider right and wrong wa...
A second conclusion relates to the choices researchers have made in directing their efforts to examine different issues relating to morality. Our classification of this body of research into distinct themes addressed and types of mechanisms examined has allowed us to quantify and characterize these choices. The comparison of studies carried out to ...
A third conclusion emerging from this review is that there is a disjoint between seminal theoretical approaches to human morality and empirical work that is carried out. Our identification of seminal publications revealed that the the-oretical perspectives that we have used to derive key char-acteristics of human morality are also the ones that are...
The increased interest of psychological researchers in issues relating to morality was prompted at least partly by societal developments during the past years. These have raised ques-tions from the general public and made available research funds to address issues relating to civic conduct, ethical lead-ership, and moral behavior in various profess...
During the past years, many researchers have examined questions relating to the psychology of morality. Our main conclusion from the studies reviewed here is that these have yielded insights that are unbalanced, neglect some key fea-tures of human morality specified in influential theoretical perspectives, and are not well integrated. The current c...

a variety of such examples but will finish by concentrating in particular on sarcasm, irony, and satire—the dictionary definitions of which seem inextri-cably entangled—in order to delineate in detail a particular kind of revela-tion of truth, one that is often but not inevitably tied to moral questions.

Jan 9, 2023 · Dieter Declercq’s Satire, Comedy, and Mental Health (2021) examines the nature and value of satire, critically reviews familiar ways of construing its value, and mounts an argument for understanding satire’s value in terms of the contributions it can make to our mental health. Declercq has much to say about longstanding debates—for example, over whether satire is a powerful political ...

Oct 24, 2019 · In this chapter I dive deep into the content and psychology of the satire genre, to delineate what it is, how it works, and why it is so frequently expressed through irony. According to humor scholar George Test, satire is defined by four characteristics: aggression, play, laughter, and judgment. 1 Close “Aggression” is the notion that satire embodies the spirit of attack.
