Description: Park et al. (2016) reported an association between heart rate variability at rest and moral judgement. RMSSD was negatively associated to utilitarian tendencies indicating that less parasympathetic activity was linked to more utilitarian decisions. Here, we aim to replicate and extend these findings. We translated the dilemmas suggested by Conway and Gawronski (2013) and used in Park et al. (2016) into German. Furthermore, in addition to heart rate data we recorded electro-dermal activity (EDA) as an indicator for activity of the sympathetic branch of the ANS.
One aim of the project was to replicate the finding reported by Park et al. (2016) of a negative association between heart rate variability (HRV) - and thus vagal tone - and utilitarianism.
We used German versions of the same set of 10 congruent and 10 incongruent moral dilemmas (cf. Conway & Gawronski, 2013) that was employed by Park et al. (2016) and analyzed the following three moral parameters…
