The Effects of Perceived Group Differences on Moral Decision Making

刻板印象内容模型(SCM；Fiske et al.，2002)认为刻板印象受热情和能力维度的影响。与Cikara、Farnsworth、Harris和Fiske(2010)的研究类似，这一系列研究将探索道德决策如何受到这些维度的影响，当热情和能力以各种不同的方式被操纵时，被保存的群体相对于被牺牲群体的大小分别是不同的，受控良好的面部刺激被呈现为个体落入每个象限的例子。在最初的实验中，预期的受试者内设计如下：A 2(被试群体的温暖程度：高与低)x 2(被试群体的能力：高VS)。低)x 2(牺牲群体的规模：小与大)，以“道德可接受性”评级为因变量。如果研究结果支持内隐刻板印象假设(Greenwald和Banaji，1995)，以及先前关于群体差异可能影响道德决策的研究(Chu&Gruhn，2018；Cuddy，Rock&Norton，2007；Cikara et al.，2010)，这表明我们的司法系统或任何监督某人命运(如可能的就业、晋升或纪律)的法定人数应该努力在他们的队伍中实现多样性，以消除群体偏见的影响。

The stereotype content model (SCM; Fiske et al., 2002), asserts stereotypes are mediated by dimensionsof warmth and competence. Similar to Cikara, Farnsworth, Harris and Fiske (2010) this series of studieswill explore how moral decision making may be influenced by these dimensions, when warmth andcompetence are manipulated in a variety of different ways, the size of 'saved' relative to 'sacrificed'groups are respectively varied, and well-controlled facial stimuli are presented as examples of individualsfalling into each of these quadrants. In initial experiments the anticipated within-subjects design is asfollows: A 2 (warmth of the 'sacrifice' group: high vs. low) x 2 (competence of the 'sacrifice' group: highvs. low) x 2 (size of the sacrifice group: small vs. large), with 'moral acceptability' ratings as thedependent variable. If findings support the implicit stereotyping assumption (Greenwald and Banaji,1995) as well as previous research on the potential for group differences to impact moral decisionmaking (Chu & Gruhn, 2018; Cuddy, Rock & Norton, 2007; Cikara et al., 2010) this suggests that ourjudicial system or any quorum overseeing somebodies fate (such as possible employment, promotion ordiscipline) should strive for diversity within their ranks to flatten the effects of group bias.
