Summary

This completed study looked at how adults with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) process emotions in moral situations, compared to people without autism. Researchers used stories about harm and accidents, then asked participants to quickly identify faces or judge if facial expressions fit the story. The goal was to see if moral judgments differ between automatic (implicit) and thoughtful (explicit) thinking. Sixty adults took part, all without intellectual disability.
