From the lab to the real world: emotions serving morality in dyadic negotiation
These findings support the view that moral negotiation is a dynamic, affectively grounded process, shaped not only by cognitive deliberation but also by emotional information expressed through bodily and facial cues. By integrating hyperscanning with a naturalistic interpersonal setting, this study can contribute to bridging the gap between lab-based and real-world moral decision-making, offering insights into the neural underpinnings of shared evaluation.
