摘要:在道德研究领域,主流道德心理学一直强调认知过程,情绪因素在道德判断中的作用长期处于被忽视的状态。然而近期的大量研究表明,情绪因素极易影响道德判断。本研究选取了102名男女比例相当的中学生为被试,探讨情绪启动对道德两难问题选择的影响。结果发现:(1)通过电影或图片为刺激启动快乐或忧伤情绪的效果是显著的。(2)不同情绪状态的中学生在自我相关的道德两难问题选择上存在显著差异,在他人相关的问题上则不存在差异。(3)中学生在道德两难问题选择上不存在性别差异。这证实了在道德两难问题判断中,“个人道德”难题主要由情绪直觉主导道德判断,而“非个人条件”难题主要由认知推理主导道德判断。

本研究采用的阈下情绪启动范式效果显著,并且结果发现,(1)通过电影或图片为刺激启动快乐或忧伤情绪的效果是显著的;(2)不同情绪状态的中学生在自我相关的道德两难问题选择上存在显著差异,在他人相关的问题上则不存在差异;(3)中学生在道德两难问题选择上不存在性别差异。由此我们得出这样的结论:在道德两难问题判断中,“个人道德”主要由情绪直觉主导道德判断,而“非个人条件”主要由认知推理主导道德判断。另外,相比于负性情绪或中性情绪,正性情绪的道德判断显得更坚持原则一点,而不是完全受情境所影响。
