"The Measure Ye Mete": Does Prosocial Priming Lead to Harsher Moral Judgment?

Abstract

Mem ber ship is open to undergraduates, graduate students, faculty, and alumni mak ing the study of psy chol ogy one of their major interests and who meet Psi Chi's min i mum qual i fi ca tions. Psi Chi is a member of the As so cia tion of Col lege Honor So ci et ies (ACHS), and is an affiliate of the Ameri can Psy cho logi cal As so cia tion (APA) and the Association for Psy cho log i cal Science (APS). Psi Chi's sister honor society is Psi Beta, the na tion al honor society in psychology for com mu nity and junior colleges. Psi Chi functions as a federation of chap ters located at over 1,100 senior col leg es and universities around the world. The Psi Chi Central Office is lo cat ed in Chatta nooga, Ten nessee. A Board of Directors, com posed of psy chol o gy faculty who are Psi Chi members and who are elect ed by the chapters, guides the affairs of the Or ga ni za tion and sets pol i cy with the ap prov al of the chap ters. Psi Chi membership provides two major opportunities. The first of these is ac a dem ic rec og ni tion to all in duc tees by the mere fact of mem ber ship. The sec ond is the opportunity of each of the Society's local chapters to nourish and stim u late the pro fes sion al growth of all members through fellowship and activities de signed to augment and en hance the reg u lar cur ric u lum. In addition, the Or ga ni za tion provides programs to help achieve these goals including con ven tions, research awards and grants competitions, and publication opportunities.

Well-Being and the Outdoors: An Environmentalism Study Among a Religious Student Population

One such student approached me and we conducted a study on a topic that was outside of my research lab but involved other student research assistants (Moon et al, 2017). On the other end of the spectrum, undergraduate students can join the faculty member under an existing research program span ning several semesters and publish with the lead researcher.…”

Hypocrisy and Moral Justification: Do Consequences and Reasons Make a Difference?

“…Pedestrians under the age of 15 and over the age of 65 are at the highest risk for pedestrian death and injury (CDC, 2017). Despite these statistics, jaywalking is perceived mostly as a morally ambiguous action (Moon et al, 2017). Jordan et al (2017) noted that morally fewer than half of the items presented to them (N = 6), or (b) failed the survey attention check (N = 6).…”

“…Experimental studies show that specific priming can lead to direct changes. For example, students from a private religious university made different moral judgments based on a priming intervention (Moon, Wright, Broadbent, & Robinson, 2017). In a prosocial cooperation condition, students primed with a moral fable made harsher judgments.…”
