Abstract

Here, we propose a direct replication and cross-cultural exploration of Cohen & Rozin, 2001, which found that Protestants negatively evaluating people who entertain immoral thoughts more harshly than Jews do. This work investigates the interaction of religious and national cultures on the importance of immoral thoughts versus immoral behaviors.
