TY - JOUR PY - 2011// TI - The Trouble with Thinking: People Want to Have Quick Reactions to Personal Taboos JO - Emotion review A1 - Merritt, Anna C. A1 - Monin, BenoƮt SP - 318 EP - 319 VL - 3 IS - 3 N2 - If lay theories associate moral intuitions with deeply held values, people should feel uncomfortable relying on deliberative thinking when judging violations of personal taboos. In two preliminary studies, participants with siblings of the opposite sex were particularly troubled when evaluating a sibling incest scenario under instructions to think slowly and rationally, or when the scenario was presented in a hard-to-read font forcing them to employ deliberative processing. This suggests that we may be intuitive intuitionists, and opens the door for investigations of people's preferred modes of moral judgment.
