Abstract:

In this study I explored the moderating effect of moral identity between proactive personality and moral imagination. Data were collected at 2 time points separated by 1 month from 378 participants. The data for proactive personality, moral personality, and moral identity were collected at Time 1, and moral imagination was measured at Time 2. Results showed that proactive personality was positively associated with moral imagination for people with high levels of moral identity but was negatively associated with moral imagination for people with low levels of moral identity.
