Wiki Version:
These files contain the data, syntax, and output for our replicatoion of *A bad taste in the mouth: Gustatory disgust influences moral jdgment*. They include also the syntax and output from the additional part of our study--i.e., the investigation of religiosity as a predictor of moral judgment across and within each taste condition. As SPSS files can be hard to decipher, we've included a word .doc with some graphs and tables directly comparing our results to Eskine et al.'s. To quickly compare our results to the original results: The original authors conducted a one-way ANOVA comparing moral judgment across conditions and found a significant effect of beverage type, F(2, 51) = 7.368, p = .002. The same analysis with our data revealed no significant result, F(2, 54) = 2.107, p = .131. The original simple main effects analyses went: - Bitter(m = 78.43, SD = 10.83) vs. sweet(m = 59.58, SD = 16.70), t(51) = 3.609, p = .001, d = 1.22. - Bitter(m = 78.43, SD = 10.83) vs. neutral(m = 61.58, SD = 16.88). t(51) = 3.117, p = .003, d = 1.09. - Sweet(m = 59.58, SD = 16.70) vs. neutral(m = 61.58, SD = 16.88), t(51) = .405, n.s., d = .12. Our results were weaker than the original study's but showed the same directional trend: - Bitter(m = 75.59, SD = 10.97) vs. sweet(m = 69.84, SD = 17.49), t(54) = 1.22, p = .23, d = .39. - Bitter(m = 75.59, SD = 10.97) vs. neutral(m = 65.33, SD = 17.04), t(54) = 2.21, p = .034, d = .72. - Sweet(m = 69.84, SD = 17.49) vs. neutral(m = 65.33, SD = 17.04), t(54) = .81, p = .43, d = .26. In the original study, a regression analysis suggested that self-reported disgust accounted for about 27.5% of the total variance in moral judgment. In our sample, however, the same analysis suggested self-reported disgst accounted for about 8% of the total variance in moral judgment. We did not come close to replicating the original study's findings concerning political orientation. Our cell sizes were too small, in our opinion, to warrant a direct comparison in this wiki, though you can find one in the poster linked below. Our results regarding religiosity cohered with our hypotheses. That is, religiosity and severity of moral judgment positively correlated accross conditions, R = .325, p = .014, and most strongly in the bitter condition, R = .464, p = .046. Compare this to the neutral condition, R = .241, p = .320, and the sweet condition, R = .435, p = .063. A regression analysis revealed that strength of religiosity accounted for about 8% of the total variance in moral judgment--as is happens, the same amount accounted for by disgust.
