چکیده
Several theories, both ancient and recent, suggest that having the time to contemplate a decision should increase moral awareness and the likelihood of ethical choices. Our findings indicated just the opposite: greater time for deliberation led to less ethical decisions. Post-hoc analyses and a followup experiment suggested that decision-makers act as if their previous choices have created or lost moral credentials: after an ethical first choice, people acted significantly less ethically in their subsequent choice but after an unethical first choice, people acted significantly more ethically in their subsequent choice. These findings provide the basis for a model of compensatory ethics.

Compensatory Efforts; A Critique of the Pros and Cons
Compensatory efforts, positive discrimination or reverse discrimination are the terms which nowadays are used in applied ethics for a set of efforts and privileges which are scheduled for compensation of the historical oppressions and discriminations imposed upon some groups and classes in the society. The mentioned oppressions and discriminations may be applied deliberately or inadvertently or...

By combining expressions A.1 and A.2 it becomes clear that the variance ratio is equal to 1 when the sum of population covariances is zero (population dynamics are independent), whereas values greater (less) than 1 indicate positive (negative) covariances and thus synchronous (compensatory) dynamics amongst populations. The variance ratio reflects the cumulative population dynamics rather than ...
متن کاملBringing ethics into focus: How regulatory focus and risk preferences influence (Un)ethical behavior
In four laboratory studies, we find that regulatory focus induced by situational cues (such as the framing of an unrelated task) or primed influences people’s likelihood to cross ethical boundaries. A promotion focus leads individuals to be more likely to act unethically than a prevention focus (Studies 1, 2, and 3). These higher levels of dishonesty are explained by the influence of a person’s...
متن کاملRNA Folding in Drosophila Shows a Distance Compensatory Fitness Interactions Effect for Wolfgang
Phylogenetic-comparative analysis was used to construct a secondary structure of Adh precursor messenger RNA (pre-mRNA) in Drosophila. The analysis revealed that the rate of coevolution of base-pairing residues decreases with their physical distance. This result is in qualitative agreement with a model of compensatory fitness interactions which assumes that mutations are individually deleteriou...
متن کاملCompensatory growth, proximate composition and amino acid contents after experiencing cycles of feed deprivation and re-feeding in young yellow catfish (Pelteobagrus fulvidraco R.)
The compensatory growth, proximate composition and amino acid contents changes of young yellow catfish (Pelteobagrus fulvidraco R.) (1.63-1.69 g) had been investigated using a 45-day cyclic feed deprivation and re-feeding experiment. The control group (S0) was fed daily with live tubificid worms (Limnodrilus hoffmeisteri), while the S1/4, S1/2, and S1/1 groups cyclically experienced one-day of ...
