Does emotion mediate the relationship between an action's moral status and its intentional status? Neuropsychological evidence (2006, background): “© Koninklijke Brill NV, Leiden, 2006 Journal of Cognition and Culture 6.1-2 Harm vignette: The vice-president of a company went to the chairman of the board and said, “We are thinking of starting a new program.”
Neural correlates of individual ratings of emotional salience: a trial-related fMRI study (2004, background): “, 1995), during comprehending coherence of language (Ferstl and von Cramon, 2002), and during making moral judgments (Greene et al., 2001).”
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).”
Foreign language effects on moral dilemma judgments: An analysis using the CNI model (2019, background): “Willingness to act on this type of dilemma is typically interpreted as a preference for utilitarian over deontological responses (Greene et al., 2001).”
The Actor–Observer Bias and Moral Intuitions: Adding Fuel to Sinnott-Armstrong’s Fire (2008, result): “These findings have been further supported by recent work being done by Joshua Greene and colleagues [9, 10, 11].”
Decision making and testosterone: When the ends justify the means (2010, background): “Results of recent neuroscience research suggest that consistent (and sometimes rigid) utilitarianism is associated with lesions to the ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC), a cortical region previously implicated in moral decision making (e.g., Greene et al., 2001; Moll & de Oliveira-Souza, 2007).”
Order effects in moral judgment (2012, background): “As Greene and his collaborators have shown, footbridge-like dilemmas are much more likely to activate brain regions associated with emotional processing than switch-like cases (Greene et al., 2001, 2004).”
