I cannot get away from the fact that Michelle (nee Diskin) Bates apparent values appear to conflict with her behaviours, which in turn would be suggestive of moral duplicity?
“Hypocrisy, according to usual definitions, means not practicing what we preach, saying one thing and doing another, or publicly upholding moral norms for others to follow, but personally violating them in private.
Social psychologists distinguish many varieties of hypocrisy. “People do not always do things for the reasons they profess, be this due to deliberate deception or non-conscious self-deception”, say Graham et al (2015).
Three relevant types are Moral Duplicity, Double Standard and Moral Weakness.
--Moral Duplicity (also Moral Deception): Assuming a false appearance of virtue or morality by preaching one thing while doing another, or publicly admonishing others for things one actually does oneself.
--Double Standard: When individuals’ evaluations of their own moral transgressions differ substantially from their evaluations of the same transgressions enacted by others (Valdesolo & DeSteno [2007]). Plainly said, the rules apply to others, but not to them.
--Moral Weakness: When people just fail to live up to their moral values. “Inconsistency between one’s stated intention and one’s subsequent behavior is a simple inability to follow through, for lack of ability, resources, or willpower. This differs from hypocrisy in that the intentions may have been stated in good faith while overestimating one’s ability to implement them” (Monin & Merrit, 2012).
