ABSTRACT
Moral judgments involve an evaluation of whether a particular behavior is ‘right’ or ‘wrong’ – or, perhaps more accurately, whether the intention behind the behavior is ‘right’ or ‘wrong’. The terms right and wrong have at least three meanings:
1. Whether it feels right or wrong to me (e.g. emotional reactions of pride or guilt). 2. Whether society deems it to be right or wrong (e.g. in terms of the law). 3. Whether the consequence of an action is likely to be net positive or net negative
(a rational cost-benefit analysis).
