Result We first conducted a 2 (priming type: individualism, collectivism) ×4 (social distance of close target: individual in the same country, individual in the same town, friend, family member) × 2 (individuals toward whom empathy is extended: socially distant target only, socially close target only) × 2 (contribution level: empathic, prosocial act) repeated ANOVA and found a marginally significant main effect of priming, F (1, 199) = 3.70, p = 0.056, ηp 2 = 0.02, a post hoc test found that participants’ overall moral judgments were significantly higher in the collectivist priming condition ( M = 6.19, SD = 0.12) than in the individualist priming condition ( M = 5.87, SD = 0.11), in which collectivism had higher overall moral ratings than individualism for different types of acts.
