    Department of Psychology, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA
    Cogn Sci 36:163-77. 2012
    ..These factors interacted in a manner consistent with moral reasoning: A strong argument defending the incestuous behavior was more persuasive than a weak argument, but only when increased deliberation time encouraged subjects to reflect...
  3. ncbi Cognitive load selectively interferes with utilitarian moral judgment
    Joshua D Greene
    Department of Psychology, Harvard University, 33 Kirkland St, Cambridge, MA 02138, United States
    Cognition 107:1144-54. 2008
    ..This interference effect provides direct evidence for the influence of controlled cognitive processes in moral judgment, and utilitarian moral judgment more specifically...

    Joshua D Greene
    Department of Psychology, Harvard University, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA
    Cognition 111:364-71. 2009
    ..These studies also introduce a method for controlling for people's real-world expectations in decisions involving potentially unrealistic hypothetical dilemmas...
  5. ncbi Moral judgments recruit domain-general valuation mechanisms to integrate representations of probability and magnitude
    Amitai Shenhav
    Department of Psychology, Harvard University, 33 Kirkland Street, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA
    Neuron 67:667-77. 2010
    ..The present results suggest that complex life-and-death moral decisions that affect others depend on neural circuitry adapted for more basic, self-interested decision making involving material rewards...

    David G Rand
    Program for Evolutionary Dynamics, Harvard University, Cambridge, Massachusetts 02138, USA
    Nature 489:427-30. 2012
    ..We then validate predictions generated by this proposed mechanism. Our results provide convergent evidence that intuition supports cooperation in social dilemmas, and that reflection can undermine these cooperative impulses...

    Department of Psychology, Harvard University, 33 Kirkland Street, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA
    J Exp Psychol Gen 141:423-8. 2012
    ..Study 3 revealed such a causal relationship over the short term: Experimentally inducing a mindset that favors intuition over reflection increases self-reported belief in God...
