Funny. I always thought that science could be perceived as a moral pursuit. Or to put it another way, what's so funny about truth, impartiality and
logic? And now here comes a study via Scientific American to bolster that belief:
The researchers found consistent results. Simply being primed with science-related thoughts increased:
a) adherence to moral norms
b) real-life future altruistic intentions
c) altruistic behavior towards an anonymous other.
The conceptual association between science and morality appears strong.
