Also, they did a separate experiment to test if time pressure manipulation was successful. In this experiment participants had too choose between two bowls containing 10 and 100 jellybeans. Hypothetically if the participants grabbed a colored jellybean they would win money. They had to either wait 20 seconds or answer with in 7 seconds. The deliberate choice would be to pick from the small bowl because it gave a higher chance, but the intuitive choice would be to grab from the bigger bowl because it contains more colored beans (2016).
The results of this study show a few things. For the jellybean experiment with time pressure 33.8% of participants chose the bigger bowl (2016). For moral judgment significant effects from the time pressure experiment were only found in …show more content…
Some of them are small decisions some of them are big decisions. This research could really change the employment process. Now a day most job applications are online and they ask an extensive amount of questions. In some stores like Dillard’s and Nordstrom there is a time limit to answer a certain number of questions. How fast someone can answer a question plays an important role on whether they move to the next step of getting an interview or not. The questions vary from practical, to moral, to even some altruistic questions. If employers knew that intuitive moral decision-making does not differ from reflective decision, maybe it would change the way they evaluate a candidate.
For example, a common question asked is “what would you do if you see a co-worker stealing”. If the person were to take 7 seconds to answer compared to someone who took a minute, the employers would view the candidates different. However the research shows that there really isn’t a difference on moral decision-making when its intuitive or when it is reflective meaning it takes time. it might seem unimportant but its something that would help a lot of people applying to companies that do
