Подробное описание
- Medical Screening Interview: Participants will be asked to answer several questions to identify potential medical and non-medical conditions that would preclude the self-administration of testosterone.
- First Saliva Sample: Participants will be asked provide a saliva sample after they completed the medical screening interview.
- Testosterone Self-Administration: Immediately following the first saliva collection, participants will self-administer spray puffs of either testosterone or placebo.
- Relaxation: Participants will be given the opportunity to relax for 30 minutes.
- Moral Dilemmas Judgments: Participants will be asked to read a set of 24 moral dilemmas that describe situations in which an actor has to make a decision on whether or not to engage in a particular action (e.g., sacrifice the well-being of one person to protect the well-being of several others). Participants will be asked to indicate whether they consider the described action acceptable or unacceptable.
- Demographics: Participants will be asked to indicate their gender, age, and ethnicity.
- Ear Temperature, heart rate, and blood pressure will be measured before drug administration, and again 20 minutes after drug administration. If temperature changes more than 2 degrees, heart rate changes more than 20bmp, or if blood pressure changes more than 20%, the experiment will be terminated and subjects will be escorted across the street to the University Emergency Room.

Probability of Making a Moral Judgment That Aligns With Moral Norms
Временное ограничение: 90 minutes
|
Participants were asked to read and respond to a validated set of 24 moral dilemmas. The dilemma set included 4 parallel versions of 6 basic scenarios that varied in terms of whether (a) the dilemma involved a proscriptive norm that prohibits action or a prescriptive norm that prescribes action and (b) the benefits of the described action for overall well-being are either greater or smaller than its costs for overall well-being. Participants were asked to indicate for each dilemma whether or not they would perform the described action, using forced-choice options labeled yes and no. |
