Cultural norms and values significantly influence moral decision-making. In many collectivist cultures, such as those in India, there is a strong emphasis on maintaining relationships and fulfilling duties to others, which might lead to a higher likelihood of choosing to break the law to help a friend. Conversely, in more individualistic cultures like the United States, there might be a stronger emphasis on adhering to laws and principles over personal relationships in such dilemmas.
