Abstract

Moral identity is a new hot issue in the field of moral education psychology after Kohlberg's theory of moral judgment stages. But up to now, the research on it is unsatisfactory, which is related to its vague concept and one-sidedness. In this article, four main views and researches were introduced, and it was advocated that moral identity should be regarded as the evolving structure of moral personality and the core of self- identity. Equally important is that the essence of moral identity is moral identification and the transcendence of self. In the future, both quantitative and qualitative research should be adopted so that the essence of moral identity can be truly demonstrated and the significance of moral identity research can be improved.
