Cognitive Dissonance

Social psychologists have documented that feeling good about ourselves and maintaining positive self-esteem is a powerful motivator of human behavior (Tavris & Aronson, 2008). In the United States, members of the predominant culture typically think very highly of themselves and view themselves as good people who are above average on many desirable traits (Ehrlinger, Gilovich, & Ross, 2005).

These dilemmas require nurses to navigate complex situations where competing ethical considerations pull them in different directions.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Sociology
  • Ethics

Background:

  • Existing research on moral injury primarily focuses on clinical assessment and treatment.
  • Collective and social factors influencing moral injury are underrepresented in current literature.
  • There is a need for a framework that integrates individual and contextual elements of moral injury.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To propose a new framework, the Moral Dissonance Model (MDM), for understanding moral injury.
  • To describe the relationship between contextual factors and individual aspects of moral injury.
  • To elucidate the processes underlying moral distress and its connection to societal influences.

Main Methods:

  • This perspective article synthesizes existing theories and frameworks.
  • It proposes the Moral Dissonance Model (MDM) as a conceptual tool.
  • The model integrates individual and collective factors over time.

Main Results:

  • The Moral Dissonance Model (MDM) explains moral injury as a result of dissonance between actual behavior and morally desirable behavior.
  • Individual and collective factors, evolving over time, contribute to this dissonance.
  • Unresolved dissonance can lead to moral injury, influenced by public discourse and societal attitudes.

Conclusions:

  • The MDM provides a novel perspective on the etiology of moral injury.
  • It emphasizes the dynamic interplay between individual experiences and broader societal contexts.
  • The model can enhance understanding of moral distress and inform future research and interventions.
