 Thus in contrast to the claim about situational forces, Sabini and Silver held that psychological causes such as fear of embarrassment are ineliminable from the best explanation and prediction of morally relevant behavior. But they did accept that these studies provide support for the influence of, “features of the immediate situation which are not in themselves of moral significance” (2005: 561). So putting the pieces together, they seemed to hold that psychological dispositions do exist and constitute various character traits, but those character traits end up not being virtuous (for a similar line of response, see Kupperman 2001: 245–247; Solomon 2003: 48, 56; Wielenberg 2006: 471–490; for criticism see Russell 2009: 288; Merritt et al. 2010: 367–369).
