To what extent can recent emotional experiences influence moral judgments? Schnall et al. (2008) examined this question by manipulating feelings of cleanliness and purity and then observing the extent that this changes how harshly participants judge the morality of others. Inscho Study 1, Schnall et al. asked participants to complete a word scramble task with either neutral words (neutral prime) or words related to cleanliness (cleanliness prime). All students then completed a set of moral judgments about controversial scenarios: Moral judgment is the average of six items, each rated on a scale from 0 to 9, with high meaning harsh. The data from this study are in the Clean moral file, which also contains data from a replication by Johnson et al. (2014)
