MORAL REASONINGEXPERIMENT
ABSTRACTDeontology and utilitarian are two major principles that impact on the moral response orjudgement of individual. Many studies have been conducted on this perspective that givesdifferent views of response of persons. Present study uses SPSS software in the current study andhas performed descriptive, T- test , chi- square test in order to find out actual cause of differencein views among different people. From the results it is found that in negative affect condition,there were 20 participants have been identified with decrease in positive affect. As value of P is<.001 that means there is no significant relationship between manipulation and positive affect.Value of P in positive effect condition has been identified <.001 that means manipulationsworked decreases in negative situation. Cognitive load manipulation selectivity highly interfereswith the overall utilitarian judgement of the persons.

INTRODUCTION Each person has different perception and views. The thinking process of everyone is fardifferent from others. Moral reasoning can be defined as the opinion of individuals that helpsthem in making their choice in favor or against a particular objective. Their selection maydepend upon their reasoning. Valdesolo and DeSteno (2006) argued that if the person is negativetowards particular thing then it increases likelihood of deontological outcome whereas if theperson has negative emotions then it increases chances of getting utilitarian results. Greene andet.al., (2008) There are two major principles i.e. deontology state and utilitarian that respond tothe moral dilemmas. Principle of deontology clearly explains that moral response of individualshighly depend upon the intrinsic nature of person (Conway and Gawronski, 2013). On the other hand, utilitarian principle states that consequences determine actual moraleaction of individuals. Traditional dilemma methodology describes the moral psychology ofindividuals. Morality can be defined as the product of reasoning. It is considered as the primaryroot in intuitive process. Greene model explains that if one person is hurt by other than peopleimmediately express negative emotional reaction (Deontological and utilitarian inclinations inmoral decision making: a process dissociation approach, 2013). Lack of motivation, poorresources create issue for individual in making correct and immediate judgment. Morally,harmful actions are unacceptable. Deontological judgment is driven by emotions whereas;utilitarian judgments are other moral responses that are driven by the cognitive process. There is contradicting between utilitarian and deontological perspectives (What makesmoral dilemma judgments “utilitarian”or “ deontological”, 2017 ). The difference between boththese responses can be captured by using example of footbridge dilemma. If a trolley run over aperson and kill many people then one can try to save these persons and can push other people forsaving others life. This is considered as utilitarian view which is in the favour of this reaction. Itbelieves that it is essential to save the life of others. On other hand Stanley, Dougherty and et.al,(2018) deontologist view will be against this action, it will be considered it as unacceptableviolation of rights. In this case, dual- process theory clearly describes that it is the emotionalaspect of the person or considered as automatic emotional response of individual that incline theperson to not accept such action. Controlled cognitive process is the system that inclines theindividual to give positive reaction towards this action of saving other people from this accident.
