报告题目：The Moderating Role of  Psychological Distance on Moral Judgment and Decision Making

内容摘要：Much of the work on  deontological and consequentialist moral choices assumes that these modes of  decision making are rooted in individual differences or cognitive capacities. We  examine the idea that whether a person focuses on actions or outcomes while  making moral choices depends on the psychological distance from the moral  situation. When the situation is perceived as far off, whether in time or space,  consequentialist considerations loom larger. In this project we establish that  psychological distance from an event decreases deontological judgments and  increases consequentialist choices. Further, we present converging evidence  showing that moral judgment of psychologically distant transgressions are more  polarized that of psychologically close transgressions. This work implies that  decision makers have several distinct strategies when making moral choices but  the selection of those strategies is far from fixed, and may depend on factors  such as psychological distance.
