We conduct a series of experiments and document a robust behavioral pattern whereby people behave more morally in uncertain environments than degenerate deterministic ones. We show that this pattern is weakened when the moral implication of behavior is diminished or when uncertainty pertains to others rather than oneself. These findings are incompatible with standard models that respect dominance. We propose a mechanism based on the anxiety aspect of uncertain environments whereby people act morally as if their moral behavior can help deliver a better outcome. We further delve into the complexity aspect of uncertainty to arrive at a more comprehensive understanding of these findings.
本文进行了一系列实验,并记录了一个稳健的行为模式:在不确定的环境中,人们比在确定性环境中表现得更具道德感。本文表明,当行为的道德含义减弱,或者不确定性涉及他人而非自身时,这种模式会减弱。这些发现与尊重支配性的标准模型不兼容。本文提出了一种基于不确定环境焦虑方面的机制,即人们表现得具有道德感,就好像他们的道德行为可以帮助带来更好的结果。本文进一步探讨了不确定性的复杂性方面,以获得对这些发现的更全面理解。
