Since Haidt's paper on moral judgment was published in 2001, studies of the development of morality have changed focus from Kohlbergian perspective to Haidt's moral intuition theory. The 'Trolley problem' is a symbolic moral dilemma, which reveals that moral judgments are mainly made on the basis of moral intuition, not on rational, cognitive thought. In this study, we made a moral dilemma of this kind, the moral intuition vs. utilitarian judgment, using everyday occurrences. And as a dependent variable, we used a slightly morally wrongdoing. We studied how the three independent variables, the moral intuition, empathy and the moral identity, affect this dependent variable. The results are as follows:1) If you can imagine victims of the wrongdoings easily, then empathy is a more effective inhibitor.2) If you can't, then the moral intuition is more effective.3) Moral identity plays important role in both wrongdoings.
