Next, we investigated the relationship between empathy and moral judgment in response to the impersonal and personal scenarios, separately (Table 2).Figure 2. Empathic concern values for participants in the UTIL, NON-UTIL, and MAJORITY groups on the pairs of moral scenarios for Experiments 1 and 2. In both cases, UTIL participants had significantly lower empathic concern scores than participants in the Litronesib solubility NON-UTIL and MAJORITY groups.
