There are various discussions on the Internet, but as a result of intense clash of opinions, discussions are often developed with a momentum that causes people to involuntarily conceal their eyebrows. A paper has been published that argues that ' moral stand-play ' is the reason why social media discussions are heated to an unpleasant level.

Joshua Grubbs, a psychologist at Bowling Green State University , named 'impressing others, publicly speaking about politics and morals, and gaining social status' as 'moral stand-alone play' Evaluated as a psychological phenomenon. “When you try to impress others, you impose moral accusations, embarrass them in public, declare those who don't agree with you clearly wrong, or express ideology. Sometimes they exaggerate their emotions, ”Grubbs and colleagues point out.

The research team led by Mr. Grabs created several questionnaires as a sub-scale of “ Motivation for Moral Stand Play”. This questionnaire is based on the following: “My moral and political beliefs should be impressed by others (fame greed)” “My moral and political It is said that the answer is affirmation or denial in 7 steps to 10 questions such as 'sharing common beliefs (desire for control)'.
Based on the questionnaires created, the research team conducted three surveys of students and more than 1,000 Americans. In addition to the questionnaire, we conducted a personality diagnosis of the subjects and asked questions about political affiliation and whether they had ever experienced a conflict of political and moral beliefs. As a result, high and low fame was associated with self-loving extroversion, while high and low greed of control was self-loving hostility and cooperation to use others for personal gain, I found that it was related to openness. On the other hand, the content of the political ideology was not related to the tendency of moral stand play.
While the research team predicts that the motivation associated with greed for control will create conflicts with people who have different views on political and moral issues, those seeking fame are more intimate with those who have the same view. It is argued that it was shown to be easy to become. In other words, those who have a strong desire to dominate will try to argue against opponents who have conflicting opinions, and those who have a strong fame will easily get along with people who have the same idea.

In addition, when a survey was conducted on 1776 Americans, behaviors that indicate fame and greed for dominance were: “To share the part you did not agree with in order to raise your opponent,” “ 'Share the agreed part' and it also appeared in individual behavior on social media. The research team argues that, 'summarizing the findings, these findings can explain moral stand-play, and moral stand-play is conceptualized as an action to seek social status.' .
However, the research team said, “There is a limit to this research because it depends on the subject's self-reports regarding discussion conflicts and social media behavior,” and future issues include not only social media but also reality. However, it mentions to clarify that moral stand play can be seen. “If philosophical reasoning is correct, the psychological phenomenon of moral stand-play is related to the bipolarization of communication that breaks relations with opposing groups and is intimate with members of the same group. The research team argued.
