| Sumario: | A study was conducted to investigate whether certain types of moral reasoning are accomplished by conscious reasoning or by intuition. Data were obtained from 526 written justifications of moral choices submitted by subjects who had logged on to the Moral Sense Test Web site. Findings indicated that participants used the action, the intention, and the contact principle when making their moral choices.

Findings are discussed in detail. |
