The Effect Of Temperature-induced Comfort On Moral Judgment And Moral Behavior

Moral judgment is the process of judging and deducing the behavior of oneself or others by using the existing moral concepts and moral cognition of the individual,and its level is developing constantly.The study of moral judgments has gone through three stages.The first is the rational model of moral judgment;the traditional moral judgment theory holds that in the process of moral judgment,reasoning and cognition play a decisive role.The second is social intuitionist model.It regards emotions as the decisive factor in moral judgment.The third is two-process model of moral judgment,and it holds that rational reasoning and intuition are the two systems in the process of moral judgment,in which the intuitionistic system is an automatic processing process,which takes precedence in the two systems,while the rational reasoning system needs to recognize Knowledge control realization.With the development of embodied cognition,the embodied study of moral judgments has also started.In this study,three single-factor experiments were conducted to investigate the effect of temperature-induced comfortable sensation on moral judgment and altruistic behavior.Experiment 1 shows that under the comfortable temperature conditions,the subjects make more strict moral judgments on the unethical events.Experiment2 shows that under the condition of uncomfortable temperature,the subjects make more utilitarian judgments on moral dilemma.Experiment 3 shows that,in a real-world situation,subjects will reduce moral behavior under uncomfortable temperature conditions.The results show that temperature-induced comfortable sensation does have an impact on moral judgment and moral behavior.
