Abstract

Moral credentialing, affirming one’s prosocial values, influences ethical behavior, but its effect on ethical cognition is as yet unknown. For the present study, participants analyzed an ethical dilemma after engaging in a moral credentialing task. Responses were analyzed to determine how ethical cognition is impacted by moral credentialing.
