💎 Diamond 💎 #OpenAccess (no fee to read, no fee to publish) is sparking hope for solving parts of the dilemma of sharing research without feeding for-profit publishers. In a PLOS webinar, we discussed if and how we might ✨ achieve the impossible (?) ✨ of making change towards Diamond OA.

My take (tl;dr): We need change that goes deeper than establishing new publication outlets -- we need to change what a ➡ good publication ⬅ means.

We conducted a comprehensive meta-analysis combining findings of 731 unique effects (nested in 139 studies) on the effects of cognitive processing modes (intuitive vs. deliberate) on judgments (deontological vs. utilitarian) in moral dilemmas. Overall, we found a significant but small effect indicating intuitive deontology (OR = 1.18, 95% CI: [1.10, 1.26]; p < .0001).

But at the same time we cannot rule out that the effect could in fact be spurious or could even go in the opposite direction. There was substantial effect heterogeneity: Some types of manipulations and types of moral dilemmas produced bigger effects than others (e.g., foreign language effect, dilemmas with personal force and instrumentality, explicit instructions to judge intuitively vs. deliberately).

So what to take away from this? ➡️ Choosing how to manipulate cognitive processing mode may not be an innocent decision to make: Manipulations might differ in what they actually change. We need better insights into the validity of manipulations — and checks of their success.

➡️ Comparing dilemma types is a bit like comparing apples 🍎 and oranges 🍊. Because dilemma types vary widely, they make it difficult to attribute changes in judgments to specific dilemma properties. We need more systematic variations here — and generally clearer definitions of what constitutes deontology and utilitarianism in these dilemmas.

➡️ There’s little evidence to go on for assessing whether results might be cross-culturally generalizable. We need more research on intuitive deontology in the Global South.
