Sind gute Menschen wirklich gut?

Wo wir doch alle so gute Menschen sind, scheint es auch sinnvoll zu sein, ab und zu daran zu zweifeln:

“Through three psychological experiments, Sonya Sachdeva from Northwestern University found that people who are primed to think well of themselves behave less altruistically than those whose moral identity is threatened. They donate less to charity and they become less likely to make decisions for the good of the environment. … Having established our persona as a do-gooder, we feel less impetus to bear the costs of future moral actions.“ Not Exactly Rocket Science
