Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies have shown that people with stronger autonomic arousal (measured through measures such as skin conductance) are more likely to experience emotional conflict when faced with moral dilemmas involving killing one person to save five others, and are therefore less likely to make the "logical" decision to kill one and save five others. This suggests that physiological arousal may play a role in moral decision-making.
