Serotonin transporter genotype (5-HTTLPR) predicts utilitarian moral judgments.

PloS one - 1 Jan 2011

Marsh Abigail A, Crowe Samantha L, Yu Henry H, Gorodetsky Elena K, Goldman David, Blair R J R

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: The psychological and neurobiological processes underlying moral judgment have been the focus of extensive recent research. Here we show that serotonin transporter (5-HTTLPR) genotype predicts responses to moral dilemmas featuring foreseen harm to an innocent. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FI...
