Utilitarian Thinking in a Culturally Diverse Sample: A Secondary Analysis of Bago et al. (2022)

This study focuses on individual differences in utilitarian thinking tendencies in a culturally diverse sample. The study centers on a secondary analysis of an existing dataset, published by Bago et al. (2022), which included a measure of utilitarian thinking tendencies (assessed with the Oxford Utilitarianism Scale). The measure was only descriptively analyzed in the original study, as it was secondary to the study objectives. The first objective of the current investigation is to examine the cultural component of utilitarian thinking. The second one is to explore whether individual differences in utilitarian thinking could differentiate between people from different moral cultural clusters.
