The aim of this study is to identify homogeneous profiles based on the five moral foundations in a sample of 376 men undergoing court-mandated treatment for violently abusing their partners. To understand better the meaning of these new profiles as well as their temporal consistency, the profiles were related to different outcomes of the current psychological treatments, before and after a prescribed one, such as self-deception, moral self-concept, benevolent sexism, and hostile sexism. Results from Latent Profile Analysis and Latent Transition Analysis showed good fit for a four-profile solution. This solution was stable from Time 1 to Time 2, both in terms of the scores on the moral foundations and the participants included in each profile. The participants included in each profile were called "Sacralizers", "All for one", "Moral outsiders", and "Purists". Comparing with standard samples and consistent with the predictions of the moral foundation theory and the sacredness hypothesis, their scores on the moral foundations were clearly different by excess or defect. Those tending to exaggerate or sacralize the moral concerns ("Sacralizers" and "Purists") were the most self-deceived, the less hostile sexists, and the ones with the highest moral self-conceptualization. Future research will have to test the role of the moral variables in the psychological treatments and think of strategies to change the importance that men convicted of domestic violence give to the five moral foundations, but at least two strategies seem to be needed: one to reduce the exaggerations and another to increase the deficits of the moral foundations.
本研究旨在确定一个样本中 376 名因暴力虐待伴侣而接受法庭强制治疗的男性基于五个道德基础的同质特征。为了更好地理解这些新特征的含义以及它们的时间一致性，在规定的治疗前后，将这些特征与当前心理治疗的不同结果相关联，例如自我欺骗、道德自我概念、仁慈性别歧视和敌意性别歧视。潜在剖面分析和潜在转变分析的结果显示，四种特征解决方案的拟合度较好。从时间 1 到时间 2，这种解决方案在道德基础得分和每个特征组的参与者方面都具有稳定性。每个特征组的参与者分别被称为“神圣化者”、“团结一致”、“道德局外人”和“纯粹主义者”。与标准样本相比，这与道德基础理论和神圣性假设的预测一致，他们在道德基础上的得分明显因过度或缺陷而有所不同。那些倾向于夸大或神圣化道德问题的人（“神圣化者”和“纯粹主义者”）自我欺骗程度最高，敌意性别歧视程度最低，道德自我概念化程度最高。未来的研究将不得不检验道德变量在心理治疗中的作用，并思考改变家庭暴力犯罪者对五个道德基础重视程度的策略，但至少需要两种策略：一种是减少夸大，另一种是增加道德基础的缺陷。
