In two studies, emotion emphasis effects on moral judgment are demonstrated. The studies indicate that emphasizing negative consequences in trolley-type dilemmas with emotional language produces more utilitarian responses if such emphasis is on the consequences of the deontological option, and more deontological responses if it is on the consequences of the utilitarian option. This effect was moderated by action-phase related mindsets. Individuals in an implemental mindset were less susceptible to the emotion emphasis effect than individuals in a deliberative mindset (Studies 1, 2). By also using an eye-tracking task in Study 2, we demonstrated that our implemental mindset participants’ visual attention was more focused—in particular on goal-directed means—than that of the deliberative mindset participants.

在道德判断中，强调情绪的影响通过心态来缓解

在两项研究中，证明了情绪强调对道德判断的影响。研究表明，用情感语言强调手推车式困境中的负面后果，如果强调的是重音符选择的后果，则会产生更多的功利主义反应，而如果重于功利主义选择的后果，则会产生更多的道义反应。行动阶段相关的心态减轻了这种影响。实施思维方式的个体比协商思维方式的个体更不容易受到情绪强调的影响（研究1、2）。通过在研究2中使用眼动追踪任务，我们证明了实现思维方式参与者的视觉注意力比协商思维方式参与者的注意力更加集中-特别是目标导向的手段。
