One-Hour lecture aims to boost moral thinking
NCT ID NCT06735989
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This completed study tested whether a one-and-a-half-hour lecture on moral reasoning could improve how people justify moral decisions. 86 healthy university students were split into two groups: one received the moral reasoning lecture, the other a lecture on logical reasoning. Researchers measured changes in their moral justification abilities immediately after and one month later. The goal was to see if moral reasoning can be taught in a short session.
