Abstract
This study examines how observation context influences moral decision-making. Participants (N=159) complete an online survey measuring demographics, mood, arousal, empathy, perspective-taking, need for cognition, reputational concern, and responses to moral dilemmas. Participants are assigned to one of three conditions: No Observation, Remote Observation, or In-Person Observation.
