Abstract
Contrary to the Rawlsian account, we find evidence across three experiments that reasoning behind the veil of ignorance increases utilitarian moral judgment. Simulating the veil of ignorance increases utilitarian moral judgment in the footbridge dilemma (Studies 1-2), a medical decision making case and an autonomous vehicle case (Study 3).
