Citations in the corpus

• Crime and punishment: distinguishing the roles of causal and intentional analyses in moral judgment. (2008, background): “…moral judgment have relied on dozens of different questions, including appropriateness (Greene, Sommerville, Nystrom, Darley, & Cohen, 2001), blame (Pizarro et al., 2003), moral responsibility (Woolfolk, Doris, & Darley, 2006), punishment (Oswald, Orth, Aeberhard, & Schneider, 2005),…”
• The psychology of moral reasoning (2008, background): “Participants in each group dealt with 6 scenarios (each of 50 words in length), presented in a different random order to each participant, but the same random order given to one participant in the think-aloud group was also given to one participant in the non-think-aloud group.”
• Gender and Philosophical Intuition (2010, background): “Yet another colleague who responded to our inquiry about gender differences was David Pizarro, who reported that on reanalyzing some of the data that he and colleagues had collected (Pizarro et al. 2003) he found an intriguing gender difference that they had not previously noticed.”
• Cognitive load selectively interferes with utilitarian moral judgment. (2008, background): “Pizarro et al. (2003) altered participants' judgments of moral responsibility by instructing them to make either ''rational, objective'' judgments or ''intuitive'' ones.”
• At the Heart of Morality Lies Folk Psychology (2009, background): “…work on moral judgment has focused on the processes that make up such judgment—cognitive and affective, deliberate and automatic (e.g., Greene, Sommerville, Nystrom, Darley, and Cohen, 2001; Haidt, 2001; Hauser, Cushman, Young, Jin, and Mikhail, 2007; Pizarro, Uhlmann, and Bloom, 2003).”
• Veil-of-ignorance reasoning favors the greater good (2019, background): “Beyond simple cost–benefit utilitarian reasoning (3, 13, 15–17), people’s judgments are influenced by explicit encouragement to think rationally (25) and by simple debunking arguments (15).”
