ABSTRACT:
This study provides exploratory evidence about how behavioral and neural responses to standard moral dilemmas are influenced by religious belief. Eleven Catholics and thirteen Atheists (all female) judged 48 moral dilemmas. Differential neural activity between the two groups was found in precuneus and in prefrontal, frontal and temporal regions. Furthermore, a double dissociation showed that Catholics recruited different areas for deontological (precuneus; temporoparietal junction [TPJ]) and utilitarian moral judgments (dorsolateral prefrontal cortex [DLPFC]; temporal poles [TP]), whereas Atheists did not (superior parietal gyrus [SPG] for both types of judgment). Finally, we tested how both groups responded to personal and impersonal moral dilemmas: Catholics showed enhanced activity in DLPFC and posterior cingulate cortex [PCC] during utilitarian moral judgments to impersonal moral dilemmas, and enhanced responses in anterior cingulate cortex [ACC] and superior temporal sulcus [STS] during deontological moral judgments to personal moral dilemmas. Our results indicate that moral judgment can be influenced by an acquired set of norms and conventions transmitted through religious indoctrination and practice. Catholic individuals may hold enhanced awareness of the incommensurability between two unequivocal doctrines of the Catholic belief set, triggered explicitly in a moral dilemma: help and care in all circumstances -but thou shalt not kill.

EVOCOG in Ultima Hora
Tuesday 9th October in the Ultima Hora:
Veure imatges negativament impactants ens fa moralment més permissius
 Una recerca duita a terme pel Dr. Antonio Olivera La Rosa, del Grup d'Evolució i Cognició Humana (UIB-CSIC), i pel Dr. Jaume Rosselló Mir demostra que veure breument imatges desagradables (de repugnància, terror) fa que, tot seguit, siguem més permissius en emetre un judici moral. Aquest efecte s'ha fet palès a partir de la presentació de dilemes morals tot d'una després de les imatges. L'estudi demostra que quan més breu és la presentació de les imatges, menor és la severitat del judici moral. Cal subratllar que no es va trobar cap efecte quan els dilemes eren de caire no-moral. Les implicacions de l'estudi podrien ser molt importants. Per exemple, quan a un informatiu ens presenten flashos d'imatges sobre un atemptat terrorista, podríem jutjar de forma més benèvola la "moralitat" de la notícia subsegüent. El mateix podria succeïr en professions on s'han d'emetre judicis sobre situacions amb connotacions morals. Agraïments: Projecte FFI2010-20759 del Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad.
