• Innocent intentions: a correlation between forgiveness for accidental harm and neural activity. (2009, background): “Contemporary moral psychology often emphasizes the robustness of moral judgments to cultural and demographic differences: people are sensitive to the same moral principles independent of gender, age, ethnicity, and religion (e.g., O’Neill & Petrinovich, 1998; Petrinovich, O’Neill, & Jorgensen, 1993;”
• Order effects in moral judgment (2012, background): “…differ on a number of these dimensions, including physical contact (Cushman et al., 2006), personal force (Greene et al., 2009), locus of intervention (Waldmann & Dieterich, 2007), and whether the victim constitutes a means or a side-effect in rescuing the five workers (e.g., Hauser et al., 2007).”
• The Moral Psychology Handbook (2010, background): “A follow-up study involving several thousand subjects tested online replicated this effect, and found it to be remarkably consistent across variations in age, gender, educational level, exposure to moral philosophy, and religion (Hauser et al., 2007).”
• Pushing moral buttons: the interaction between personal force and intention in moral judgment. (2009, methodology): “The loop weight dilemma (Hauser et al., 2007; Mikhail, 2000) is identical to the loop dilemma except that a heavy weight positioned behind the victim on the side-track, rather than the victim, stops the trolley (n = 74, Figure 3b).”
• Crime and punishment: distinguishing the roles of causal and intentional analyses in moral judgment. (2008, methodology): “Consistent with previous research (Cushman et al., 2006; Hauser et al., 2007 ), data was discarded from subjects who completed any question in fewer than four seconds, deemed to be the minimum possible comprehension and response time, as well as from subjects who provided clearly inaccurate demogra”
• The psychology of moral reasoning (2008, background): “The theory is based on earlier diverse accounts, which emphasize intuitions (Haidt, 2001, 2007), their innate basis (Hauser, 2006; Hauser et al., 2007), and”
