Abstract

This study explored how moral judgments change in response to a modified bridge dilemma, administered repeatedly with progressive and regressive changes in the number of lives saved. Among 179 participants, most remained consistent, while a minority (24.6%) showed threshold-based shifts or hysteresis, indicating path-dependent moral reasoning in some individuals.
