“…TDM proposes that the cognitive process behind making a wrongness judgement involves comparing a given action to this template of prototypical moral wrongness (A -> P). The more readily an observer perceives an intentional actor causing harm to a vulnerable patient, the more 'dyadic' the situation is deemed to be, and the more morally wrong they evaluate the action (Annus, 2021;Schein & Gray, 2015;Ze & Baopei, 2019). This is particularly relevant to understanding moral judgement in online environments in which the harm caused by anti-social behaviour is so often rendered abstract and diffuse by the medium (Pew Research Centre, 2021;Saurwein & Spencer-Smith, 2020;Ullmann & Tomalin, 2020;R.…”

Prior studies of discrepancies in moral decision making across online/offline contexts have been limited by a lack of transparency in the vignette development process. The present study sought to amend this issue by developing and evaluating the efficacy of an original series of 12 pairs of online/offline vignettes. 203 participants completed an online questionnaire in which they reported on morally relevant aspects of the vignette pairs using Likert-type scales. These dependent variables included imageability, emotional response, size of effect, social harm, and moral wrongness. A combination of network modelling and inferential analyses were used to evaluate the efficacy of vignettes for use in subsequent studies. Based on these findings, a small selection of the original 12 vignette pairs were deemed to be reliable enough for future use, and a range of considerations for transparent and rigorous vignette-based approaches to this topic are explored.

<p><strong>Anti-social behaviour online remains a pervasive and persistent thorn in the side of social media platforms. Understanding what drives bad behaviour online is an important step towards responding to the issue, and calls for an interdisciplinary understanding of a range of complex and interrelated factors. Discrepancies in moral judgement between online and offline contexts is an example of one such factor which is well supported within the theoretical literature but remains relatively underexplored from an empirical perspective. This thesis addresses this gap in the literature using a mixed-methods, vignette-based approach spread across three studies. Overall, the findings of these three studies revealed that while some online/offline discrepancies in moral judgement do exist, these discrepancies tend to be highly context-specific, and generally limited in frequency and extent. A contrast between the quantitative and qualitative findings also highlighted some tension between empirical insight and theoretical/self-reported perspectives on this topic.</strong></p>
