Bandura argued that moral disengagement occurs when the actor selectively disengaged moral self-regulation depending on the situation. This study was conducted to categorize immoral behavior and present the causes, patterns, and corrective measures of each type while questioning the theories of Socrates and Aristotle, who viewed immoral behavior as a result of not making an effort to become a moral human. To this end, the virtue ethics’s perspective on immoral behavior was organized and embodied, and Bandura's mechanisms of moral disengagement was analyzed. After that, these perspectives were compared and analyzed to categorize immoral behavior. Finally, it was suggested why immoral behavior occurs, how immoral behavior occurs, and how moral behavior can be corrected for each type. This study is significant in that it suggested a way to systematically guide students' immoral behavior in their daily routine.
