文摘
- •
Sacrificial dilemmas are often used to measure preferences for moral codes.
- •
In these dilemmas, endorsing utilitarianism typically requires endorsing action.
- •
We study the effect of de-confounding these factors.
- •
We find that standard dilemmas are poor measures of preferred moral code.
- •
De-confounded dilemmas may provide a more valid way to infer preferred moral code.
