Wiki Version:
**Are there individual differences in susceptibility to the moral licensing effect?** Moral licensing occurs when someone is reminded of a past cooperative/moral action, and as a result subsequently behaves less cooperatively/morally. Although this effect has been reported in a variety of domains (Blanken, van de Ven, & Seelenberg, 2015), effects have been inconsistent (Blanken, van de Ven, & Seelenberg, 2015; Blanken, van de Ven, Zeelenbert, & Meijers, 2014). Moral compensation is the other side of licensing: when people are reminded of past uncooperative/selfish actions, they subsequently behave more cooperatively/morally to compensate (Conway & Peetz, 2012; Joosten et al., 2014). This project will investigate if individual differences in Social Value Orientation (SVO) influence engagement in licensing behavior. To test this, we will ask participants to fill out a SVO measure, and then recall a time when they had either been cooperative (moral licensing), uncooperative (moral compensation), or neutral (control condition).
