  • All these answers are correct

Pregunta 6

Pregunta
Some theories propose that either emotional or reason is the process behind moral judgement.
Respuesta
  • Social Intuitionist Model (SIM; Haidt, 2001) supports arguments for reasoning MJ
  • Social Intuitionist Model (SIM; Haidt, 2001) supports arguments for emorional/intuitive MJ
  •  Dual process model: revised Competition Theory (e.g., Paxton & Greene, 2010)  Both in the moral black box and they often conflict  What drives moral judgment is a of function properties of the stimuli (e.g., personal vs. impersonal) as well as situational factors (e.g., mood) and individual differences  Emotion drives deontological reactions, reasoning drives utilitarian responses and the competition between these two processes informs moral judgment
  • Social Intuitionist Model (SIM; Haidt, 2001) supports arguments for emorional/intuitive MJ, and Dual process model: revised Competition Theory (e.g., Paxton & Greene, 2010)  Both in the moral black box and they often conflict  What drives moral judgment is a of function properties of the stimuli (e.g., personal vs. impersonal) as well as situational factors (e.g., mood) and individual differences  Emotion drives deontological reactions, reasoning drives utilitarian responses and the competition between these two processes informs moral judgment

Pregunta 7

Pregunta
moral reasoning and moral intuition are defined as, respectively:
Respuesta
  • conscious mental activity that consists of transforming given information about people in order to reach a moral judgment. To say that moral reasoning is a conscious process means that the process is intentional, effortful, and controllable and that the reasoner is aware that it is going on and sudden appearance in consciousness of a moral judgment, including an affective valence (good-bad, like-dislike), without any conscious awareness of having gone through steps of searching, weighing evidence, or inferring a conclusion. Moral intuitions are largely dependent on emotions
  • sudden appearance in consciousness of a moral judgment, including an affective valence (good-bad, like-dislike), without any conscious awareness of having gone through steps of searching, weighing evidence, or inferring a conclusion. Moral intuitions are largely dependent on emotions and conscious mental activity that consists of transforming given information about people in order to reach a moral judgment. To say that moral reasoning is a conscious process means that the process is intentional, effortful, and controllable and that the reasoner is aware that it is going on

Pregunta 9

Pregunta
Kohlberg (1963) Stage Theory of Moral Development supports:
Respuesta
  • Reasoning and rational processing of MJ
  • Different ages people will engage with these concepts using different concepts. Young children will use obedience/punishment, individualism and exchange, then social order. When people see a stimulus, people use different, varied, deliberate, conscious, logical, moral reasoning according to a set of social rules to conjure a judgement  Stages:  obedience/punishment,  individualism/exchange,  roles,  social order,  individual rights,  universal principles  Emphasis on consciously accessible rules that were applied at the time of judgment.  Stimulus – reasoning – judgment

  • Us vs. them categorization happens under any social conditions
  • Tajfel et al (1971): Schoolchildren do a Point allocation task: Klee or Kandinsky paintings- no association b/w preferences and allotted group they were told they belong too, a label. Intergroup discrimination occurred despite random categorization. Mere categorization (based on minimal group conditions) elicited ingroup favoritism This study's hypothesis were supported
  • All these answers are correct

Pregunta 11

Pregunta
Both kinds of processes are likely involved in moral judgments, but they “compete” in order to give rise to a response.
Respuesta
  • This is known as Competition Theory Greene et al. (2001, 2004).  Each problem pits a deontological option (what is “good” is based on the rule: do not kill innocents) against a utilitarian option (greatest good for greatest number)  Deontological response driven by gut-reactions, emotion, intuition  Utilitarian response driven by controlled, effortful reasoning processes
  •  Dual process model (e.g., Paxton & Greene, 2010)  Both in the moral black box and they often conflict  What drives moral judgment is a of function properties of the stimuli (e.g., personal vs. impersonal) as well as situational factors (e.g., mood) and individual differences  Emotion drives deontological reactions, reasoning drives utilitarian responses and the competition between these two processes informs moral judgment
  • Other factors that influence moral judgement beyond emotion and reasoning: Decision framing (how you word the moral story (e.g., Petrinovich & O’Neill, 1996)
  • Greene et al (2001) Competition Theory and the revised version are correct

Pregunta
When do Attitudes Guide Behaviour?
Respuesta

Pregunta 95

Pregunta
Models of emotions experienced in relationships and relationship maintenance. Several models focus on the role of perceived discrepancies as the important determinants of emotional outcomes in relationships. These social exchange models start with the premise that the distribution of rewards and costs between the partners in relationships are experienced as positive and negative feelings in the relationship, thus signaling how well we are “doing” relative to one’s partner. In addition, these emotions are proposed to be the determinants of whether the relationship is likely to continue or not.
Respuesta
  • Equity Theory (Walster, Walster, & Berscheid, 1978): According to this model, relationships are perceived to be fair if each persons’ outcomes are proportional to their contributions. Receiving less or more than one contributes results in lower satisfaction, although receiving less is worse than receiving more
  • Interdependence Theory Thibaut & Kelly (1959): Individuals are motivated to maximize rewards relative to costs in relationships. Satisfaction and attraction are defined in terms of expectations and outcomes. Individuals compare relationship outcomes to two standards – the comparison level (CL) and the comparison level for alternatives (CLalt). The comparison levels are determined either using others’ relationships or past relationships. The CL is the standard against which the attractiveness of the relationship is evaluated. When the level of outcomes exceeds this, the individual is satisfied with the relationship. The CLalt is the standard used to determine whether to stay or leave the relationship. If an alternative is not available (this may include no relationship), the individual may continue in the relationship.
  • Investment Model (Rusbult, 1980): The Investment Model is an extension of Interdependence Theory which includes relationship commitment and investments. Commitment is a function of high satisfaction, few alternatives, and high investment. Satisfaction is a function of rewards minus costs. Alternatives are the perceived desirability of other relationships.
  • Ideal Standards Model (Simpson, Fletcher, & Campbell, 2001): The ideal standards model is an extension of Interdependence theory and Self-discrepancy theory. Partner and relationship ideals are chronically-accessible knowledge structures that influence relationship judgments. These standards have three functions: evaluation, explanation, and regulation. Larger discrepancies between perceptions of a partner or the relationships with these standards results in lower evaluations of the partner and the relationship.
  • Attatchment Theory: This is a psychological, evolutionary, and ethological theory that provides a descriptive framework for understanding interpersonal relationships. Begins with the premise that infants have a need for a secure relationship with adult caregivers. The relevant infant behaviour is primarily a process of seeking proximity with an identified attachment figure.
  • All of these answers are correct
