Fig 1.
Mean moral character judgments as a function of participant’s gender and act (Study 1).
Note. Higher scores indicate better moral character judgments. The error bars represent one standard error.
Fig 2.
Mean punishment judgments as a function of participant’s gender and act (Study 1).
Note. Higher scores indicate more severe punishment judgments. The error bars represent one standard error.
Fig 3.
Mean competence judgments as a function of participant’s gender and act.
Note. Higher scores indicate better competence judgments. The error bars represent one standard error.
