当直接后果和延迟后果之间的冲突与对个人或群体更有利的后果相关联时，就会出现一种特定类型的自我控制。在这种情况下，在更有利于群体的延迟后果的控制下做出反应可以被视为道德自我控制的实例。文献表明，自我控制和道德自我控制的选择取决于群体成员安排的偶然性，表明这些现象是文化产品。本研究提出了一种调查伦理自我控制的选择、维持和传递的程序，这种安排类似于元本质。两个微培养物被暴露在一项任务中，每个参与者必须在一个彩色的10 × 10矩阵中选择一行。在所有情况下都有个别的偶然性：选择奇数行产生3个可兑换货币的代币，而选择偶数行只产生1个代币。在某些情况下，文化上的偶然性也使学校用品的制作得以随后捐赠给公立学校。这项研究旨在评估在文化后果的产生与更大规模的个体后果的产生相互竞争的情况下，是否可以通过性质不同于个体后果的文化后果来选择与总体产品相关的连锁行为意外事件(IBCs)。学校物品的生产取决于IBCS + 聚合产品(AP)的出现，该产品涉及选择3行不同颜色的偶数行。结果表明，文化影响对涉及道德自控反应的IBCS + AP的选择有影响。本文介绍的方法显示了研究道德自控现象的前景。
A particular type of self-control occurs when the conflict between immediate and delayed consequences is associated with consequences that are more favorable to either the individual or the group. In such cases, responding under the control of delayed consequences more favorable to the group can be considered an instance of ethical self-control. The literature shows that the selection of self-control and ethical self-control depends on contingencies arranged by group members, indicating that these phenomena are cultural products. This study proposes a procedure to investigate the selection, maintenance, and transmission of ethical self-control in an arrangement similar to a metacontingency. Two microcultures were exposed to a task in which each participant had to choose a row in a colored 10 × 10 matrix. There were individual contingencies in all conditions: choosing odd-numbered rows produced 3 tokens that could be exchanged for money, and choosing even-numbered rows produced only 1 token. In some conditions, there were also cultural contingencies that enabled the production of school items to be subsequently donated to public schools. This study aimed at assessing whether the interlocking behavioral contingencies (IBCs) associated with aggregate products could be selected by cultural consequences of a different nature from individual consequences in situations in which the production of cultural consequences competed with the production of individual consequences of a greater magnitude. The production of school items was contingent on the occurrence of IBCs + Aggregate Products (AP) that involved choosing 3 even rows of different colors. The results showed that cultural consequences had an effect on the selection of IBCs + AP that involved ethical self-controlled responses. The procedure here presented showed promising to study the phenomena of ethical self-control.
