- Abstract (Swedish)
- Can we manipulate how morally permissible or unjustifiable someone finds a
certain action by framing a dilemma in either a first- or third-person
perspective? This online study aims to investigate this question through a

rank nine different moral actions from fully morally permissible to fully morally
unjustifiable, the only difference between the groups being the personal
perspective framing. Although the analysis showed a small difference, where
the first-person perspective group is on average slightly more restrictive in
deeming an action morally permissible, the result is... (More) - Can we manipulate how morally permissible or unjustifiable someone finds a

that this is due to this study's shortcoming in isolating the intuitive part of the
participants’ moral judgment. (Less)
