Abstract: We hypothesize that participants in the immoral help condition will generally feel less grateful and this effect is mediated by perceived ulterior motive and moderated by participants’ moral disengagement. Specifically, participants with high moral disengagement might be less critical of the helper’s immorality and remain appreciated for immoral helps.
