Morality encompasses a set of norms that originate from the group's consensus and cultural evolution. Accordingly, the mere presence of another person is very well capable of shaping moral judgment and decision-making in a way that benefits group coherence. Here, we measured justice sensitivity (JSI), implicit moral attitudes (mIAT), and neural activity during mental simulation of interpersonal morally-laden behaviors (helping and harming) when participants were either alone or when they thought a confederate was present. Both JSI and mIAT, as well as various brain networks, were modulated and, further, synchronized by the presence of a confederate. Participants with lower scores on the mIAT and JSI enhanced their moral attitudes when they were in the presence of a confederate. This change was driven by increased signal in the amygdala and anterior insula when the low mIAT participants mentally simulated harming another person, but was effected by decreased activity in the dorsomedial- and dorsolateral-prefrontal cortex in the high JSI participants. The presence of another significantly impacts moral attitudes as well as neural correlates underlying moral behavior. Together, the results support the view that both individual dispositions and social influence shape and synchronize people's moral computations, and fits with the theoretical perspective that morality has evolved to promote group fitness.

道德包含了一系列源于群体共识和文化进化的规范。因此,仅仅另一个人的存在就非常有能力以有利于群体一致性的方式塑造道德判断和决策。在这里,当参与者独自一人或认为存在同盟时,我们在对人际道德行为 (帮助和伤害) 的心理模拟过程中测量了正义敏感性 (JSI),内隐道德态度 (mIAT) 和神经活动。JSI和mIAT以及各种大脑网络都受到同盟的存在的调制和同步。在mIAT和JSI上得分较低的参与者在同盟面前时会增强他们的道德态度。当低mIAT参与者在心理上模拟伤害另一个人时,杏仁核和前岛的信号增加驱动了这种变化,但在高JSI参与者的背和背外侧前额叶皮层活动减少了。另一个的存在会显着影响道德态度,并与潜在的道德行为神经相关。总之,结果支持以下观点: 个人性格和社会影响力都会塑造和同步人们的道德计算,并且与道德已经发展为促进群体适应性的理论观点相吻合。
