The Role of Conscious Reasoning and Intuition in Moral Judgment (2006, background): “A topic of recent concern in moral psychology is the extent to which conscious reasoning, as opposed to intuition, plays a role in determining moral judgment ( Greene & Haidt, 2002; Haidt, 2001; Pizarro & Bloom, 2003).”
The Neural Correlates of Third-Party Punishment (2008, neutral): “…and emotional influences on economic decision-making and moral reasoning (De Martino et al., 2006; Delgado et al., 2005; Koenigs and Tranel, 2007; Greene and Haidt, 2002; Greene et al., 2001, 2004; Haidt, 2001; Heekeren et al., 2003; Koenigs et al., 2007; Moll et al., 2002b, 2005), and provide…”
Emotion and Rationality: A Critical Review and Interpretation of Empirical Evidence (2007, background): “…indicate that parts of the brain typically associated with emotions are uniquely engaged by certain moral dilemmas and that it is this emotional engagement that drives the resolution of the dilemma (Greene & Haidt, 2002; Greene, Sommerville, Nystrom, Darley, & Cohen, 2001; Moll et al., 2002, 2005).”
Moral psychology is relationship regulation: moral motives for unity, hierarchy, equality, and proportionality. (2011, neutral): “Neuroscientific research in moral psychology has been dominated by studies focusing on whether processing of moral dilemmas occurs via reasoning or emotion (Greene & Haidt, 2002; Greene et al., 2001; Koenigs et al., 2007; Moretto, Ladavas, Mattioli, & di Pellegrino, 2010).”
Explanation and understanding (2015, background): “A difference may exist between moral thoughts that have the form of explanations and those that defy explanations in phenomena known as “moral dumbfounding” (Greene & Haidt 2002, Haidt 2001).”
Harm, Affect, and the Moral/Conventional Distinction. (2007, background): “In an infl uential article and an important recent book, Shaun Nichols (2002, 2004) builds on suggestions made by researchers who emphasize the link between morality and emotions, such as Kagan (1984), Damasio (1994) and Haidt ( Haidt et al. , 1993 ; see also Greene & Haidt 2002 ).”
Organizations Gone Wild: The Causes, Processes, and Consequences of Organizational Misconduct (2010, background): “Second, some have begun to question the extent to which organizational participants deliberate at all when confronted with ethical decisions (Damasio, 1994 ; Green & Haidt, 2002 ; Haidt, 2001 ).”
Deciding what's right: The role of external sanctions and embarrassment in shaping moral judgments in the workplace (2008, background): “One such set of studies examines the effects of emotion on moral reasoning and moral behavior by longitudinally examining the deviant behavior of individuals with various brain abnormalities which impair their emotional capacity (Greene & Haidt, 2002; cf. Damasio, 1994).”
The neural correlates of maternal and romantic love (2004, background): “, 2000), in moral judgment (Greene and Haidt, 2002; Moll et al., 2002) and during attention to one’s own emotions (Gusnard et al.”
Who’s messing with my mind? (2008, background): “…posit that automatic, affectively charged moral attitudes, underpinned by brain networks involved in socio-emotional processing, are effortfully overcome by self-regulatory processes subserved by the dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (e.g. Greene & Haidt 2002; Greene et al. 2004; Haidt 2007).”
Lying to Level the Playing Field: Why People May Dishonestly Help or Hurt Others to Create Equity (2010, background): “Such intuitions are shaped by natural selection as well as cultural forces (Greene and Haidt, 2002).”
