本研究探讨了背景因素对印度和美国成年人和儿童（N = 180）倾向于让代理人在道德上对违反正义行为负责的影响。结果显示，印度人更频繁地免除道德责任的代理人在情感胁迫下或由年幼的孩子比美国人。违约行为不太经常被归类在道德方面时，道德推理和问责判断同时进行评估时，只有道德推理进行评估。讨论认为：（a）非道德信仰对日常道德判断中的文化和年龄差异的影响;（B）在减轻处罚的情况下使用个人选择推理;（c）在理解道德推理的背景影响时，同时关注责任评估和社会领域分类的方法重要性。
This study examined the impact of contextual factors on Indian and American adults' and children's (N = 180) tendencies to hold agents morally accountable for justice breaches. Results revealed that Indians more frequently absolved agents of moral accountability for breaches performed under emotional duress or by young children than did Americans. Breaches were less frequently categorized in moral terms when moral reasoning and accountability judgments were assessed simultaneously than when only moral reasoning was assessed. Discussion considered (a) the impact of nonmoral beliefs on cultural and age differences in everyday moral judgment; (b) the use of personal-choice reasoning in weighting of extenuating circumstances: and (c) the methodological importance of focusing simultaneously on responsibility appraisals and social domain categorizations in understanding contextual influences on moral reasoning.
