Putting distance through cleansing : the mediating role of temporal distancing on the embodiment of moral purity by Nurul Mira Fatin Abdulkahar

“…This study is instigated for the purposes of the latter, and aims to investigate the role of subjective distancing as a potential mediator to the embodied link in moral settings. More specifically, it is hypothesized that compared to individuals who do not clean their hands, those who do so after recalling a past immoral act would be more likely to temporally distance their present selves away from their past immoral selves so as to preserve favorable self-view, and hence are more likely to perceive their past moral transgressions as less severe than they would have normally believed. …”

Cyberbullying: differentiating offenders criminal roles using a narrative‐based approach by Fumagalli, Anita, Trayford, Tori Jillings, Chrysikos, Alexandros

“…However, there is a need to explore, categorize and identify cyberbullies and their characteristics so that inferences and crime links can be made to prevent the crime. The present study aimed to investigate whether the Narrative Action System Model (NASM) could be used to identify and examine the psychological underpinnings of different cyberbully offending styles. …”
