EXPERIMENTS ON ETHICAL DILEMMAS: AN INTERDISCIPLINARY WORKSHOP, 3–4 May 2012, Institute of Philosophy

http://www.le.ac.uk/pc/amc/eed-workshop.html

"This is an end-of-project workshop arising from a two-year study entitled "Framing Effects in Ethical Dilemmas" in which Natalie Gold, Andrew Colman, and Briony Pulford investigated contextual factors affecting moral decisions. The project included a series of experiments in which trolley problems and related ethical dilemmas were presented to people in contexts that were systematically varied to throw light on factors affecting their responses. Experiments included both hypothetical questions and incentivized choices, of the kind commonly used in behavioural economics. We invite submissions (see below) on any topic related to the workshop theme of experiments in ethical dilemmas, from across all relevant disciplines."

Fiery Cushman, Psychology, Brown University, USA

Adam Feltz, Philosophy, Schreiner University, USA
