Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The term used to describe the disjuncture between attitudes and actions, while avoiding the costs of being moral, is moral hypocrisy. Option A, moral conflict, does not accurately describe the concept described by Batson and his colleagues. Option B, moral cowardice, refers to a lack of moral courage, which is not quite the same as the concept of moral hypocrisy. Option D, moral realism, refers to the view that moral facts and values exist independently of human opinion, which is also not quite relevant to the concept described. Therefore, the best choice is C, moral hypocrisy.
