Note: The original instructions and rating scale used in the submitted manuscript have been changed due to the difficulty some participants had in understanding them. They were as follows:  The following sentences express standards that different people may have when judging something as morally right or morally wrong. When YOU are judging something as RIGHT / WRONG, to what extent is each of the following standards important to your judgment?  Rating scale: 7-point Likert scale, ranging from 1 (Not important at all) to 7 (Of the utmost importance).  In future research we are using the version of the scale presented below.
