In the files section below are the posters we presented at the Western Psychological Associatoin convention.
We concluded that our study successfully replicated the findings of Eskine et al.'s original. Although our effect sizes were much smaller, the direction of taste's effect was the same for both control groups compared to the bitter group.
We failed, however, to replicate their findings concerning political orientation. We caution the reader to interpret this failure lightly since our sample lacked sufficient participants who identified as liberal (n = 19) or conservative (n = 7).
Our findings regarding religiosity suggest that the moral judgments of more highly religious people are, like consrvatives' in the original study, more affected by the bitter taste manipulation than the judgments of less religious people. Interestingly, religiosity and disgust accounted for the the same amount of variance (about 8%) in moral judgment.
