The aims of our study were to investigate the longitudinal paths of relations between prosocial moral reasoning, prosocial behaviour and life meaningfulness in young adolescents. Data were collected at four time points (T1–T4) over 5 years using a prosocial behaviour questionnaire (Roche & Sol, 1998), a questionnaire on prosocial moral reasoning (PRM) (Carlo, Eisenberg, & Knight, 1992), a revised version of the noo-dynamics test (Popielski, 1991), and the Life Meaningfulness Scale (Halama, 2002). The research sample consisted of 351 participants (49.30% female, Mage = 11.93; SD =.43) in the first phase (T1–T2), and 343 students (41.6% females; Mage = 14.65; SD =.57) participating in the second phase (T3–T4). Path model 1, which included relations between prosocial moral reasoning (T1, T2), self-reported prosocial behaviour (T1, T2) and salutogenic noo-dynamics (Popielski, 1991), has not found the necessary support in the data. However, path model 2, which included relations between prosocial moral reasoning (T3, T4), self-reported prosocial behaviour (T3, T4) and life meaningfulness (Halama, 2002) in adolescents aged 14–15 years old, shows a good fit to the data.

Earlier studies have demonstrated that moral values play a critical role in mobilizing against moral norm violations. Despite its importance, scientific knowledge of the concept is limited, especially in non-Western cultures. This study examined the roles of moral foundations and moral disengagement in relation to moral courage in the Turkish cultural context. In total, 658 adults (410 females, 248 males; Mage = 23, SDage = 9.12) participated in the current study through an online survey. Participants filled out Moral Disengagement Scale (Bandura et al., 1996), Moral Foundations Scale (Graham et al., 2011), and Moral Courage Scale (Bronstein et al., 2007). The results indicated that individualizing moral foundations had a direct and positive association with moral courage; they were also related to moral courage indirectly through decreasing moral disengagement. Binding moral foundations, on the other hand, directly and negatively associated with moral courage, but had no indirect role through moral disengagement. Moreover, exploratory analyses revealed that females tended to be more sensitive to moral issues, were less likely to disengage from moral principles, and were more likely to raise their voices against moral norm violations. Our findings showed that moral engagement is a substantial part of intentions to stand up against moral norm violations.
