Abstract
The current study observes the appraisal of traumatic events as violating morally held beliefs in the general population. One hundred seventy participants in the US completed a survey assessing moral injury. There was a direct effect of worrying about others contracting Covid-19 and social distancing on moral injury and rumination.
