TY - JOUR PY - 2023// TI - Drinking alcohol appears to have no impact on self-perceptions of morality, aggressiveness, or intelligence JO - Experimental and clinical psychopharmacology A1 - Paruzel-Czachura, Mariola A1 - Sorokowska, Agnieszka A1 - Reed, Americus SP - ePub EP - ePub VL - ePub IS - ePub N2 - People generally perceive themselves as moral but does this tendency change after alcohol consumption? In the current research, we tested whether alcoholic intoxication affects self-assessments of morality (i.e., the self-importance of moral identity and the moral self-concept), and we also tested self-assessment of aggressiveness and intelligence. We conducted a preregistered laboratory experiment with participants divided into three groups: alcohol intoxication (n = 106), placebo (n = 114), and control condition (n = 109). We did not detect statistically significant differences in self-assessments across conditions. These data are consistent with the conclusion that self-assessments of morality, aggressiveness, and intelligence may be too stable to be affected by the momentary changes in self-perception caused by alcoholic intoxication.
