MORALITY PERCEPTION AMONG ROMANIAN STUDENTS
MORALITY PERCEPTION AMONG ROMANIAN STUDENTS

Summary/Abstract: “Socialpsychological research has shown that people have a tendency to overemphasize their morality relative to others. The aims of this study were: 1) testing for the Muhammad-Ali effect and better-than-average effect among Romanian college students; 2) testing the hypothesis that better than average effect will be lower or even canceled by comparison with specific individuals; 3) testing a possible difference in the manifestation of the two effects according to faculty profiles. The results of the research did not support the Muhammad-Ali effect, but partially supported the other two objectives. Research data revealed the students’ tendency to rate themselves more moral than their colleagues, but at the same time less moral than their closest colleague. The students’tendency to consider themselves more moral than their colleagues, was much stronger among those at the Faculty of Communication and Public Relations than among students at the Faculty of Sociology and Social Work”.
