Voelkle challenges our conclusions regarding the relationship between morality and momentary happiness/sense of purpose based on methodological concerns. We show that our main conclusions are not affected by this methodological critique and clarify that the discrepancies between our and Voelkle's effect size estimates can be reconciled by the realization that two different (but compatible) research questions are being asked.
沃尔克尔基于方法论的担忧对我们关于道德与瞬间幸福感/目标感之间关系的结论提出了质疑。我们表明,我们的主要结论不受这种方法论批评的影响,并澄清说,我们和沃尔克尔的效应量估计之间的差异可以通过认识到两个不同(但兼容)的研究问题得到调和。
