Abstract
Research has shown that people approach ethical dilemmas based on if it is impersonal (i.e., more rational) or more personal (i.e., more emotional) in nature (e.g., see Greene, 2014, for a review). Further, there has been an abundance of evidence found in support of a dual process theory, which delineates between these two systems. In the present work, we sought to replicate those findings and investigate a method of shifting System 1 processing to System 2 processing, specifically in moral personal dilemmas. Our results showed some inconsistent results, in that our samples did not replicate previous effects. Further, the hypothesized method of shifting from System 1 to System 2 processing did not work, as hypothesized. Understanding the way people approach and make ethical decisions can have direct implications to the professional world. Future research should investigate individual differences or non-sacrificial ethical dilemmas, to extend the current work.
