  • Executive control- and reward-related neural processes associated with the opportunity to engage in voluntary dishonest Moral Decision making
    Cognitive Affective & Behavioral Neuroscience, 2015
    Co-Authors: Xiaoqing Hu, Narun Pornpattananangkul, Robin Nusslock
    Abstract:

    Research has begun to examine the neurocognitive processes underlying voluntary Moral Decision making, which involves engaging in honest or dishonest behavior in a setting in which the individual is free to make his or her own Moral Decisions. Employing event-related potentials, we measured executive control-related and reward-related neural processes during an incentivized coin-guessing task in which participants had the opportunity to voluntarily engage in dishonest behavior, by overreporting their wins to maximize earnings. We report four primary findings: First, the opportunity to deceive recruited executive control processes involving conflict monitoring and conflict resolution, as evidenced by a higher N2 and a smaller P3. Second, processing the outcome of the coin flips engaged reward-related processes, as evidenced by a larger medial feedback negativity (MFN) for incorrect (loss) than for correct (win) guesses, reflecting a reward prediction error signal. Third, elevated executive control-related neural activity reflecting conflict resolution (i.e., an attenuated executive control P3) predicted a greater likelihood of engaging in overall deceptive behavior. Finally, whereas elevated reward-related neural activity (the reward P3) was associated with a greater likelihood of engaging in overall deceptive behavior, an elevated reward prediction error signal (MFN difference score) predicted increased trial-by-trial Moral behavioral adjustment (i.e., a greater likelihood to overreport wins following a previous honest loss than following a previous honest win trial). Collectively, these findings suggest that both executive control- and reward-related neural processes are implicated in Moral Decision making.

  • Harm to self outweighs benefit to others in Moral Decision making
    'Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences', 2020
    Co-Authors: Lj Volz, Bl Welborn, Gobel Ms, Gazzaniga Ms, Scott T Grafton
    Abstract:

    This is the final version. Available from the national Academy of Sciences via the DOI in this record. How we make Decisions that have direct consequences for ourselves and others forms the Moral foundation of our society. Whereas economic theory contends that humans aim at maximizing their own gains, recent seminal psychological work suggests that our behavior is instead hyperaltruistic: We are more willing to sacrifice gains to spare others from harm than to spare ourselves from harm. To investigate how such egoistic and hyperaltruistic tendencies influence Moral Decision making, we investigated trade-off Decisions combining monetary rewards and painful electric shocks, administered to the participants themselves or an anonymous other. Whereas we replicated the notion of hyperaltruism (i.e., the willingness to forego reward to spare others from harm), we observed strongly egoistic tendencies in participants’ unwillingness to harm themselves for others’ benefit. The Moral principle guiding intersubject trade-off Decision making observed in our study is best described as egoistically biased altruism, with important implications for our understanding of economic and social interactions in our society

  • understanding the consequences of pride and shame how self evaluations guide Moral Decision making in business
    Journal of Business Research, 2018
    Co-Authors: Richard P. Bagozzi, Leslie E. Sekerka, Francesco Sguera
    Abstract:

    Understanding how Morally responsible and irresponsible business actions lead to feelings of pride and shame can help us learn more about what motivates Moral Decision making. This study examines how these particular self-conscious emotions interact with two variables depicting a person's other-orientation, which is made up of other-directed values and perspective-taking. Through an experimental design, we unpack their conjoint influence on Moral Decisions that either promote the organization or repair the damage done to it. By doing so, we contribute to the existing literature by clarifying nuances between self-conscious and Moral emotions, and by testing the specific influence of pride and shame on Moral Decision-making.
