  • Starcke, Katrin; Ludwig, Anne Catrin; Brand, Matthias (2012): Anticipatory stress interferes with utilitarian moral judgment. In: Judgment and Decision Making (Online Journal) 7 (1), S. 61-68

    Abstract: A recent study indicates that acute stress affects moral decision making (Youssef et al., in press). The current study examines whether results can be replicated using a different kind of stressor and a different kind of stress measurement. 49 students aged between 20 and 38 years were assigned either to a stress group (N= 24) or a control group (N= 25). Stress group participants were told they would have three minutes to prepare to give a public speech; the control group participants were asked to think about their last vacation. Stress levels and stress responses were assessed with questionnaires and heart rate measures before and after the stress induction/control condition. All participants performed a moral decision-making task describing moral dilemmas. These dilemmas were either personal or impersonal and each offered a utilitarian and a nonutilitarian option. Acutely stressed participants, compared to control participants, made fewer utilitarian judgments and needed longer for making a decision. Individual physiological stress response was related to fewer utilitarian judgments. Results are in line with those previously found, although different instruments were used. zitiert von: 50
