Who is more utilitarian? Negative affect mediates the relation between control deprivation and moral judgment
2021
Overview
This research tried to examine the effect of sense of control on moral judgments and the mediating roles of positive and negative affect. Sixty-one Chinese college students were randomly assigned to control-deprivation group and non-control deprivation group. After finishing an unsolvable “concept-formation task”, in which control deprivation was manipulated, participants rated sense of control, affective states, and made judgments in personal and impersonal moral dilemmas. Results showed that individuals in control deprivation condition were more likely to make utilitarian judgment in personal moral dilemmas rather than impersonal dilemmas. Furthermore, the negative affective states caused by control deprivation mediate the relationship between control deprivation and utilitarian moral judgment. Taken together, these results support dual-process model of moral judgment and control motivation theory.
