The theory that moral judgments are based on perceptions of harm, suffering, justice, and fairness.

Moral Foundations Theory (MFT) proposes that there are five fundamental principles that shape our moral judgments. These principles are categorized as either 'binding' or 'individualizing'.

The binding foundations prioritize group cohesion and loyalty. They are rooted in the importance of social order and conformity to established hierarchies. Examples include valuing loyalty, obedience to authority, and maintaining purity.

The individualizing foundations focus on individual rights and the ethical treatment of everyone. Examples include prioritizing care and compassion, and ensuring fairness and justice.

A strong moral identity is associated with a tendency to expand one's circle of moral concern. This means feeling a deep sense of responsibility towards others, even if they don't belong to one's immediate group.

While the binding foundations are important for social cohesion, their emphasis on group loyalty can sometimes lead to prejudice and discrimination toward those outside the group.
