Study 3 – Replication of Sachdeva et al.’s Study 1 and Study 3 with a non-student sample on Amazon Mechanical-Turk
The purpose of the present research is to investigate whether we replicate the original findings by Sachdeva et al. (2009) that participants in the negative-traits condition display more moral behavior than participants in the neutral condition and that participants in the positive-traits condition display less moral behavior than participants in the neutral condition. The (im)moral behaviors measured in this study are the amount of money participants are willing to donate to a charity (similar to Sachdeva et al. (2009), Study 1) and selfish behavior in a commons dilemma (similar to Sachdeva et al. (2009), Study 2).
