Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The factors mentioned are related to the concept of moral intensity, which refers to the degree of ethical import or significance of an issue that influences the amount of moral attention and concern it receives from individuals. Lack of perceived harm, physical distance, and moral disagreement can reduce moral intensity, and therefore, reduce the likelihood of observers reporting ethical misconduct.
