Attitudes held with strong moral conviction (moral mandates) were predicted to have different interpersonal consequences than but nonmoral attitudes. After controlling for indices of attitude strength, the authors explored unique effect on degree that people preferred greater social (Studies 1 and 2) physical (Study 3) distance from attitudinally dissimilar others effects group interaction decision making in homogeneous versus heterogeneous groups 4). Results supported mandate hypothesis:...
Abstract Sacrificial dilemmas, especially trolley problems, have rapidly become the most recognizable scientific exemplars of moral situations; they are now a familiar part psychological literature and featured prominently in textbooks popular press. We concerned that studies sacrificial dilemmas may lack experimental, mundane, realism therefore suffer from low external validity. Our apprehensions stem three observations about problems other similar dilemmas: (i) amusing rather than...
To what extent are research results influenced by subjective decisions that scientists make as they design studies? Fifteen teams independently designed studies to answer five original questions related moral judgments, negotiations, and implicit cognition. Participants from 2 separate large samples (total N > 15,000) were then randomly assigned complete 1 version of each study. Effect sizes varied dramatically across different sets materials test the same hypothesis: Materials rendered...
This study tested hypotheses generated from an integrative model of political tolerance that derived a number different social psychological theories (e.g., appraisal tendency theory, intergroup emotion and value protection models) to explain following the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. A national field (N = 550) found immediate post attack anger fear had implications for 4 months later. The effects on were mediated through moral outrage outgroup derogation, whereas personal threat,...
The 2004 presidential election led to considerable discussion about whether moral values motivated people vote, and if so, it a conservative electoral advantage. results of two studies—one conducted in the context 2000 election, other election—indicated that stronger convictions associated with candidates themselves attitudes on issues day uniquely predicted self‐reported voting behavior intentions vote even when controlling for host alternative explanations (e.g., attitude strength,...
Abstract This study used a nationally representative sample (N = 550) to test factors that predicted support for confrontational (an expanded War on Terror) and defensive public policy (deporting various groups symbolically associated with the attackers) shortly after 9/11 terrorist attacks. Results indicate anger but not fear expanding war beyond Afghanistan, deporting Arab Americans, Muslims, first generation immigrants. Political orientation was weakly or correlated affective reactions...
Various versions of legitimacy theory predict that a duty and obligation to obey legitimate authorities generally trumps people's personal moral religious values. However, most research has assumed rather than measured the degree which people have or stake in situations studied. This study tested compliance with reactions context natural experiment tracked public opinion before after U.S. Supreme Court ruled case challenged states' rights legalize physician-assisted suicide. Results...
This crowdsourced project introduces a collaborative approach to improving the reproducibility of scientific research, in which findings are replicated qualified independent laboratories before (rather than after) they published. Our goal is establish non-adversarial replication process with highly informative final results. To illustrate Pre-Publication Independent Replication (PPIR) approach, 25 research groups conducted replications all ten moral judgment effects last author and his...
This initiative examined systematically the extent to which a large set of archival research findings generalizes across contexts. We repeated key analyses for 29 original strategic management effects in same context (direct reproduction) as well 52 novel time periods and geographies; 45% reproductions returned results matching reports together with 55% tests different spans years 40% geographies. Some were associated multiple new tests. Reproducibility was best predictor...
Although contracts certainly facilitate exchange, scholars have debated whether and trust are complements or substitutes. Recent theoretical work has suggested that contract frames influence the relationship between trust. We test extend this theorizing by examining effects of prevention promotion on some potential cognitive emotional mechanisms responsible for them. also explore how unexpected negative events affect developed under different frames. Experiment 1 found fostered stronger...
Procedural voice is a widely used and effective means to reduce or eliminate conflict. Moral disagreements, however, are particularly inflammatory, divisive, difficult manage. The current article reports two studies that demonstrated the unique challenge moral disagreements pose. Specifically, tested extent which procedural affected justice judgements, group climate, decision acceptance when people perceived decisions have implications. Results indicated people's outcome preferences...
People often treat diversity as an objective feature of situations that everyone perceives similarly. The current research shows, however, disagreement exists over whether a group is diverse. We argue judgments diverge because they are social perceptions reflect, in part, individuals’ motivations and experiences, including concerns about how would them. Therefore, includes in-group members should affect diverse appears the inclusion or apparent exclusion signals perceivers can expect to be...
Abstract Empirical evidence for the claim that people from Western cultures are prone to correspondence bias is based exclusively on college student samples. Using attitude attribution paradigm, current study explored (a) prevalence of in a national representative sample American adults, (b) degree generalized across demographic characteristics, and (c) whether self-construal or lay philosophies behavior accounted bias. Although results was far universal; 53% participants exhibited...
Indians and U.S. Americans view harmful actions as morally wrong, but are more likely than to perceive helping behaviors moral imperatives. We utilize this cultural variability in belief systems test whether how considerations influence perceptions of intentionality (as suggested by theories folk psychology). Four experiments found that attribute for helpful not (Studies 1–4) or neutral side effects 2 3). Also, cross-cultural differences judgments positive reflect stronger praise motives...
This article provides two arguments for using caution when interpreting the results of a Global Change Game simulation indicating that people high in right‐wing authoritarianism are particularly likely to bring world ruin. First, we review research demonstrates extremists on both political left and right share characteristics be associated with poor performance (e.g., lower levels integrative complexity) there reasons cautious about letting either or inherit earth. Second, psychologists need...
