Reinforcement learning signal predicts social conformity. (2009, background): “RCZ activity is also modulated by the moral character of the partner in the trust game (Delgado et al., 2005) and by moral judgments ( Greene et al., 2004 ).”
Dual-process morality and the personal/impersonal distinction: A reply to McGuire, Langdon, Coltheart, and Mackenzie (2009, background): “My collaborators and I have developed a dual-process theory of moral judgment (Greene, 2007a; Greene, Morelli, Lowenberg, Nystrom, & Cohen, 2008; Greene, Nystrom, Engell, Darley, & Cohen, 2004; Greene, Sommerville, Nystrom, Darley, & Cohen, 2001), according to which characteristically deontologica”
The role of prediction in social neuroscience (2012, background): “Activity in the DLPFC and ACC, both crucially involved in cognitive control and error processing, have consistently been found to be activated when making moral decisions, in particular, when making decisions between fair and unfair offers (Sanfey et al., 2003; Greene et al., 2004).”
Manipulations of Emotional Context Shape Moral Judgment (2006, background): “The infrequent selection of the logically appropriate option in such dilemmas is associated with heightened activation of deliberative centers aimed at cognitive control, suggesting that the automatic negative reaction must be disregarded if a utilitarian judgment is to bemade (Greene et al., 2004).”
The Moral Foreign-Language Effect (2016, background): “For instance, Greene et al. (2001) and Greene et al. (2004) have used neuroscientific methods, including fMRI studies, to determine whether emotional centers in the brain are activated when participants make judgments regarding moral dilemmas.”
Approach, Ability, Aftermath: A Psychological Process Framework of Unethical Behavior at Work (2015, background): “trigger heightened emotional responses, such as the footbridge dilemma, tend to elicit immediate, principle-based judgments (Greene et al., 2008; Greene et al., 2004).”
The role of analytic thinking in moral judgements and values (2014, neutral): “In contrast, Greene and colleagues have proposed an alternative model that affords analytic reasoning processes a larger role in determining moral judgement (Greene, 2007, 2012; Greene et al., 2001, 2004, 2008; Paxton & Greene, 2010).”
What Dilemma? Moral Evaluation Shapes Factual Belief (2013, background): “In the moral reasoning literature, there is a clear implicit assumption that individuals confronting moral dilemmas struggle their way to either a consequentialist or deontological conclusion, and then simply live with the unavoidable downside of their either-or decision (cf. Greene et al., 2004).”
When Employees Do Bad Things for Good Reasons: Examining Unethical Pro-Organizational Behaviors (2011, background): “" In fact, moral dilemmas have been shown to heighten activity in regions of the brain associated with emotion (Greene et al. 2004, 2008 ).”
