两个实验的结果支持了这一假设，即移情诱导的利他主义可以导致一个人以违反正义的道德原则的方式行事。在每个实验中，参与者都被要求做出一个影响其他人福利的分配决定。那些没有被诱导产生同情心的参与者倾向于按照正义原则雅阁;而那些被诱导产生同情心的参与者则更有可能违反这一原则，优先将资源分配给被同情的人。高同理心的参与者谁显示与其他参与者同意在感知不公平和不道德（实验1）。总体而言，结果表明，同情引起的利他主义和维护正义的道德原则的愿望是独立的亲社会动机，有时合作，但有时冲突。这种独立性的影响进行了讨论。
Results of 2 experiments supported the proposal that empathy-induced altruism can lead one to act in a way that violates the moral principle of justice. In each experiment, participants were asked to make an allocation decision that affected the welfare of other individuals. Participants who were not induced to feel empathy tended to act in accord with a principle of justice; participants who were induced to feel empathy were significantly more likely to violate this principle, allocating resources preferentially to the person for whom empathy was felt. High-empathy participants who showed partiality agreed with other participants in perceiving partiality to be less fair and less moral (Experiment 1). Overall, results suggested that empathy-induced altruism and the desire to uphold a moral principle of justice are independent prosocial motives that sometimes cooperate but sometimes conflict. Implications of this independence are discussed.
