The transformation process from moral cognitive to moral behavior is always the aspiration of moral educators and researchers who strive for, but in reality, the transformation process from moral cognitive to moral behavior is not always successful, that even though many people know how to is ethical, but in fact they do as their moral cognitive, even sometimes worse. they make some kind of behavior contrary to their moral cognitive. Especially since the reform and opening up, China has established a market economy system, the economy growth is rapidly, but because of the invasion of a variety of cultural factors, the emergence of a variety of values, as well as the emergence of a variety of interest demands, leading to traditional moral value system faces unprecedented challenges, the phenomenon that people behave differ to their cognitive appears on ethics.Contradiction between morality and behavior means there is gap between people’s ethic code and their action, which basically shows in three conditions: knowing ethic code while do the opposite, acting without ethic awareness, knowing ethic code while do nothing accordingly. In the traditional viewpoint towards accordance between morality and behavior, once people learned morality they will act on it automatically. Actually morality doesn’t transform itself into action inevitably, with the possibility be affected by many factors, it takes a complex process to accomplish this transition.The transformation process from moral cognitive to moral behavior,we have three approaches to discuss the factors affect the transition between morality and behavior. Firstly, based on latest neurological research we suggest there exist a sort of( or couples of) neural material in brain that offers substantial assistances for transition between morality and behavior. Secondly, as the transition defined as a kind of social phenomenon, it must be affected by social morality environment. Thirdly, people is the host for this transition, the combination between will, affection and knowledge plays an important role in shaping morality into behavior.Based on the research of current moral psychology, we suggest that it should take physiological condition of human brain into consideration but the social morality environment people lived in. Additionally, whether people radically accept the ethic codes should be studied. Consequently, we suggest moral identity is one of important factors affect the transition between morality and behavior. On one hand, moral identified people will introspect morality philosophically, once they agreed with the ethic code it’s more likely for them to act on it. On the other hand, base on logical deduction, people combines moral judgement, moral reasoning and moral behavior by identify the ethic codes, with the support of human brain and external social morality environment, moral identified people are more likely to transform moral identity into moral behaviors.
