Shweder et al. (1997) proposed the three domains of morality: Autonomy, Community, and Divinity. This study used situation sampling to explore how people from Japan and the U.S. interpret moral transgressions provided in their own and another cultural context. Specifically, the analysis tested whether participants with one cultural background recognize culturally congruent moral transgressions as violations more frequently and feel more harshly towards them than culturally incongruent domains. Furthermore, the extent of evocation caused by the home and another culture was investigated. This study asked 102 Japanese and 168 U.S. participants to judge which domain would be primarily involved in each transgression and to rate their wrongness. Participants showed a higher perceived magnitude of transgressions in culturally valued domains provided by in-group than outside members. Cross-cultural differences in morality and future directions are discussed.

道德在旁观者的文化眼中：情境抽样研究

施韦德等人。(1997) 提出了道德的三个领域：自治、社区和神性。本研究使用情境抽样来探索日本人和美国人如何解释在他们自己和另一个文化背景下出现的道德违规行为。具体而言，该分析测试了具有一种文化背景的参与者是否比文化不一致的领域更频繁地认识到文化上一致的道德违规行为，并且对他们感觉更严厉。此外，调查了家庭和另一种文化引起的唤起的程度。这项研究要求 102 名日本人和 168 名美国参与者判断每次违规主要涉及哪个领域，并对他们的错误程度进行评分。与外部成员相比，参与者在群体内提供的具有文化价值的领域中表现出更高的违规感知程度。讨论了道德和未来方向的跨文化差异。
