Answer :
Cambridge English Dictionary defines parentheses as "a remark that is added to a sentence, often to provide an explanation or extra information, that is separated from the main part of the sentence by commas, brackets, or dashes."
"Regarding integrity, “discerning what is right and what is wrong . . . captures the idea that integrity requires a degree of moral reflectiveness” (Carter)." is the correct use of parentheses. This is because the quotation marks have been placed at the end of the sentence and the final full stop has been placed after the parenthetical reference of the writer's or speaker's name.
