道德判断中的强化效应是指当一个行为是有意（而不是无意）实施时，它会消除更极端的责备或赞扬。两个小插曲实验测试的假设，即强化是更强的责备行为比赞扬的行为。在研究1中，40名日本参与者阅读了10个关于消极或积极行为的简短描述。将意图归因于消极（或积极）行为的参与者比那些没有将意图归因于消极（或积极）行为的参与者认为这些行为更值得责备（或值得赞扬）。研究2（N = 94）呈现了20种行为描述，这些行为根据2 x 2（行为效价：积极与消极;意向性：存在与不存在）参与者之间的设计而不同。意向性的明确指示提高了负性行为的可责性，但不提高正性行为的可赞性。
The intensification effect in moral judgment refers to the fact that a behavior elicits more extreme blame or praise when it is intentionally (rather than unintentionally) performed. Two vignette experiments tested the hypothesis that intensification is stronger for blameworthy behaviors than for praiseworthy behaviors. In Study 1, 40 Japanese participants read 10 brief descriptions of negative or positive behaviors. Participants who attributed intentionality to negative (or positive) behaviors rated those behaviors as more blameworthy (or praiseworthy) than those who did not. Study 2 (N = 94) presented 20 descriptions of behaviors that differed according to a 2 x 2 (valence of behavior: positive vs. negative; intentionality: present vs. absent) between-participants design. Explicit indication of intentionality elevated blameworthiness of negative behaviors but not praiseworthiness of positive behaviors.
