People make moral decisions every day. When making such decisions, they may be influenced by their companions (a so-called moral conformity effect). Increasingly, people make decisions in online environments, like video meetings. In the current preregistered experiment, we studied the moral conformity effect in an online context. We applied an Asch conformity paradigm by asking participants ( = 120) to reply to sacrificial moral dilemmas through the online video communication tool Zoom either when sitting in a "virtual" room with strangers (confederates instructed on how to answer; experimental condition) or when sitting alone (control condition). We found that people displayed a moral conformity effect on half the dilemmas included in our study as well as in the aggregate.

人们每天都会做出道德决策。在做出此类决策时,他们可能会受到同伴的影响(即所谓的道德从众效应)。现在,人们越来越多地在在线环境中做出决策,比如视频会议。在当前这项预先注册的实验中,我们研究了在线环境下的道德从众效应。我们采用了阿施从众范式,要求120名参与者通过在线视频通信工具Zoom,在与陌生人共处一个“虚拟”房间(同盟者已被告知如何回答;实验条件)或独自就座(对照条件)时,对牺牲性道德困境做出回应。我们发现,在我们研究中包含的一半困境以及总体情况中,人们都表现出了道德从众效应。
