Character moderates the effects of consequences on moral judgment. Judgments of bad agents’ choices were more sensitive to the magnitude of shocks (A) and the magnitude of money (B) than judgments of good agents’ choices. Judgments of good and bad agents’ choices were similarly sensitive to the causal role the agents had in bringing about the consequences. Error bars represent standard error of the mean. Figures illustrate which interactions were statistically significant in Eq. (2). Y-axis represents the magnitude of the effect on moral judgment. A.u. = arbitrary units, ^***P < 0.001; n.s. = not significant.
