With the expansion of computer technologies, ethical issues have become a significant concern for families. This study aimed to investigate the role of attitudes toward artificial intelligence (AI), purpose in life, and self-esteem in predicting moral disengagement among adolescents in the digital space. The sample consisted of all middle school students in Ardakan during the 2023-2024 academic year. Using Green’s formula, a sample size of 107 was determined; however, to ensure sufficiency, a total of 306 data points were collected, with 240 being analyzed. The research instruments included the Moral Disengagement Questionnaire (Bandura et al., 1996), the Attitude Toward AI Scale (Shomali & Barkhordari, 2024), the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (1965), and the Purpose in Life Test (Krumboltz & Maholick, 1969). Data were analyzed using SPSS26 with multiple regression analysis. The results indicated a significant negative relationship between attitudes toward AI and moral disengagement in adolescents online (p<0.05); a significant negative relationship was found between purpose in life and its dimensions (goal and understanding) and moral disengagement (p<0.01); and a significant negative relationship existed between self-esteem and moral disengagement (p<0.01). Regression analysis results showed that attitudes toward AI, purpose in life, and self-esteem significantly predicted moral disengagement among adolescents (adjusted R²=0.160, p<0.001, F=16.189). These findings emphasize the importance of attitudes toward AI, purpose in life, and self-esteem in predicting moral disengagement among adolescents in the digital realm.
