Morality is closely related to people’s life and plays an important role in promoting social
harmony and development. Many psychological researchers have done a lot of research on moral
judgment and gained some classic theories. Such as Social Intuitionist Model and Dual-process Model.
With the further study of moral judgment by psychological researchers, these theories are not enough
to explain all the research findings. In recent years, the theory of interpretive level has provided a new
perspective for the study of moral judgment. In the research of moral judgment based on moral noble
behavior and moral violation behavior, the current conclusion is still controversial, and researchers have
discussed the reasons behind it. Generally speaking, the level of interpretation affects moral judgment,
which generally affects the perceived level of the behavior subject through the stimulation of the target
to the behavior subject, and is regulated by emotional experience and other factors to a certain extent.
The deeper reason may be that the level of interpretation affects the standard of moral judgment through
some factors, which are not limited to psychological distance or representation. Future research can
focus on the analysis of the deep mechanism and cross-cultural research, and further explore the role
of cultural differences in the level of interpretation and moral judgment. We can combine the research
results over the years to provide more evidence for the research of moral judgment from the perspective
of explanatory level, and further promote the research of moral judgment.
