traditional ethical inquiry – research in these fields consists inempirical and descriptive explorations regarding the intuitive and emotional nature of moraljudgments28, 29, as well as the social and environmental mechanisms responsible for assessmentsof right and wrong, mentioned above. This is important, since findings suggest than many of thecommonsense intuitions grounding understandings of the relations between moral judgments anddecisions, and actions and behaviors, are incorrect.Intuitively, one might suppose actions/behaviors directly follow from judgments/decisions. Forexample, if a civil engineer makes a judgment regarding the permissibility of designing or thedecision to design a faulty bridge, then his or her actions and behaviors would
