I heard an animal ethnographer say that animals show more moral behaviour, and more moral behaviour, the more social the animals were. He was talking about species-wide characteristics, rating foxes, coyotes and wolves on a scale of sociability, but I wonder about individual characteristics.
Does social contact effect a moral sense? Does it affect a moral sense? It would be very interesting if there were a causal relationship in this direction, and not only in the stereotypical way of people who are withdrawn from society having pre-existing problems with societal morality.
