Based on moral foundation theory, this research examined the loyalty bias effect in the process of moral behavior and judgment from the perspectives of observers and actors, and explored the actor-observer separation phenomenon of the loyalty bias effect. The result showed that when participants were actors, in intergroup competition situations, individual moral behaviors and judgments showed a loyalty bias effect, which was more likely to commit loyalty unfair behaviors for the benefit of the group, and gave more lenient moral judgments to this behavior; such effect was weakened by fair value initiation. When participants were observers, the loyalty bias effect disappeared, showing a separation of actors and observers.
Key words： loyalty; fairness; moral judgment; moral foundation theory
