Subject Area: Personality/Emotion

Moral injury results from witnessing or acting in ways that violate moral values. Across two national studies (NTotal=1738), we examine the prevalence of moral injury among voters in the highly polarized, morally fraught 2024 U.S. Presidential Election along with risk factors (political identity centrality) and protective factors (emotional intelligence).
