The Influence Of Self-relevance Under Time Pressure On Moral Decision-Making

Moral decision-making has an important influence on daily life,work and study.This study suggests that self-relevance and time pressure are also important factors affecting the outcome of moral decision-making.With sufficient time,decision makers can search for any strategy that is as full or optimized as possible.And time pressure can arise when too little time is allocated to decision makers.When the critical degree of stimulation and self-relatedness in the dilemma situation increases with the conflict,the greater the negative emotion induced by moral decision-making.However,it is still unclear how self-correlation affects the moral decision-making under the pressure of research time.This study includes a pre-experiment and two experiments to determine the average reaction time of each moral dilemma and the standard deviation to measure the specific time at which the stress was triggered.In the first experiment,the influence of time pressure on moral decision-making was investigated.The time variable(time-free pressure,medium-time pressure,high-time pressure)was introduced.Experiment 2 examined the use of context-enabled paradigms in helping situations,introduce time variables(time-free pressure,medium-time pressure,high-time pressure)to explore the influence of self-relevance(low self-relevance,medium self-relevance,high self-relevance)on moral decision-making.The results showed that time pressure had a significant influence on moral decision-making.The subjects chose not to help without time pressure,the subjects chose help under medium-time pressure and high-time pressure;Compared with low self-relevance stimuli,the subjects chose to help when they made ethical decisions about medium self-relevance and high self-relevance stimuli;Time pressure has a significant effect on the self-relevance groups.Conclusion:1.Time pressure has a significant impact on moral decision-making.Subjects often choose not to help when there is no time pressure.As time pressure increases,help behavior will increase.2.Self-relevance affects the proportion of help,high self-relevance individuals tend to get more help.3.The positive effect of time pressure is regulated by self-relevance.The higher self-relevance,the lower the time pressure effect.
