Abstract

The focus of this paper is the role of emotions in judgments and choices associated with moral issues. Study 1 shows that depending on the strength of emotions when making a moral decision, people become sensitive to the severity and the probability of harm that their decisions can bring to others. A possible interpretation is that depending on the strength of emotions, people in their moral judgments choose to be either utilitarian or deontologist. In Study 2, following the priority heuristic model, we found that in situations in which the violation of moral norms does not evoke strong negative emotions, people are sensitive to quantitative risk parameters (probabilities and outcomes), and the decision-making process requires a relatively longer time. In moral situations in which a violation of the moral norm evokes strong emotions, decision-making is based on arguments other than quantitative risk parameters, and the process takes a shorter time.

情感在道德判断和风险决策中的作用
本文的重点是情感在与道德问题相关的判断和选择中的作用。研究1表明,在做出道德决定时,人们对自己的决定可能给他人带来伤害的严重性和可能性变得敏感,这取决于情绪的强度。一种可能的解释是,根据情感的强度,人们在道德判断中选择功利主义或义务论。在研究2中,根据优先级启发式模型,我们发现在违反道德规范不引起强烈负面情绪的情况下,人们对定量风险参数(概率和结果)敏感,决策过程需要相对较长的时间。在违反道德规范会引发强烈情绪的道德情境中,决策是基于争论而不是量化风险参数,而且决策过程所需的时间更短。
