Moral audiences can scaffold individual agents’ sensitivity to moral reasons and their motivation to act on them, but they can also undermine it. In this paper, we look at two case studies of ‘scaffolding bad’, where moral agency is undermined by social environments: street gangs and online incel communities. In discussing these case studies, we draw both on recent situated cognition literature and on scaffolded responsibility theory. We show that the way individuals are embedded into a specific social environment changes the moral considerations they are sensitive to in systematic ways because of the way these environments scaffold affective and cognitive processes, specifically those that concern the perception and treatment of ingroups and outgroups. We argue that gangs undermine reasons responsiveness to a greater extent than incel communities because gang members are more thoroughly immersed in the gang environment. 001033628 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-5255$$a5255 - Neuroethics and Ethics of Information (POF4-525)$$cPOF4-525$$fPOF IV$$x0 001033628 588__ $$aDataset connected to CrossRef, Journals: juser.fz-juelich.de 001033628 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)138795$$aHeinrichs, Jan-Hendrik$$b1 001033628 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aSifferd, Katrina$$b2 001033628 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)2012661-X$$a10.1007/s11245-024-10110-2$$p445-455$$tTopoi$$v44$$x0167-7411$$y2025 001033628 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/1033628/files/s11245-024-10110-2.pdf$$yOpenAccess 001033628 909CO $$ooai:juser.fz-juelich.de:1033628$$pdnbdelivery$$pdriver$$pVDB$$popen_access$$popenaire 001033628 9101_ $$0I:(DE-HGF)0$$6P:(DE-HGF)0$$a School of English, Communication and Philosophy, Cardiff University, Cardiff, UK$$b0 001033628 9101_ $$0I:(DE-HGF)0$$6P:(DE-HGF)0$$a Jeffersona1@cardiff.ac.uk$$b0 001033628 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)138795$$aForschungszentrum Jülich$$b1$$kFZJ 001033628 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-525$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF4-520$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF4-500$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF4$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$9G:(DE-HGF)POF4-5255$$aDE-HGF$$bKey Technologies$$lNatural, Artificial and Cognitive Information Processing$$vDecoding Brain Organization and Dysfunction$$x0 001033628 9141_ $$y2025 001033628 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0200$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bSCOPUS$$d2023-10-22 001033628 915__ $$0LIC:(DE-HGF)CCBY4$$2HGFVOC$$aCreative Commons Attribution CC BY 4.0 001033628 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0120$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bArts and Humanities Citation Index$$d2023-10-22 001033628 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0100$$2StatID$$aJCR$$bTOPOI-INT REV PHILOS : 2022$$d2023-10-22 001033628 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1170$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bCurrent Contents - Arts and Humanities$$d2023-10-22 001033628 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0510$$2StatID$$aOpenAccess 001033628 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)3002$$2StatID$$aDEAL Springer$$d2023-10-22$$wger 001033628 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)9900$$2StatID$$aIF < 5$$d2023-10-22 001033628 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0300$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bMedline$$d2023-10-22 001033628 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0420$$2StatID$$aNationallizenz$$d2023-10-22$$wger 001033628 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0199$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bClarivate Analytics Master Journal List$$d2023-10-22 001033628 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)INM-7-20090406$$kINM-7$$lGehirn & Verhalten$$x0 001033628 980__ $$ajournal 001033628 980__ $$aVDB 001033628 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED 001033628 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)INM-7-20090406 001033628 9801_ $$aFullTexts
