ResumoExtending previous research on the characteristics associated with adolescents' general tendency to be a moral rebel (Sonnentag & Barnett, 2016), the present study examined the roles of moral identity and (general and situation-specific) moral courage characteristics on 3 (i.e., caring, just, and brave) expressions of the tendency to stand up for one's beliefs and values despite social pressure not to do so. Results revealed that general and situation-specific moral courage characteristics are important motivators of individuals' caring, just, and brave expressions of the tendency to be a moral rebel, especially when they possess a relatively strong moral identity.
