Assessing Implicit Gender Biases in Moral Judgments via Neurolinguistic Word Order Paradigms

When moral judgments are made fast, they are made very fast. Studies seeking to assess rapid, intuitive moral judgments via text-based means need to consider the speed at which words are read (about 150-175 ms per word), the time it takes to activate stereotypes that can influence subsequent processing (about 475 ms), and the parallel processing that occurs to result in a moral judgment. Through these considerations, it was theorized that statistically significant differences in participants' judgments of various types of moral violations could be obtained by merely changing the order of the gender-information words used to describe the protagonist in text-based moral violation vignettes. It was also hypothesized that these effects would be dependent on the implicit biases associated with various in-group affiliations and the type of moral violation. For example, in the United States, self-identifying Republicans were hypothesized to hold gender stereotypes that would influence moral judgments of authority violations but not justice violations. This presentation describes prior research that led to a pilot study to test these hypotheses and the results of that pilot for the purposes of exploring future directions and collaboration opportunities.
