Dual-Process in moral reasoning

Dual-process theory in moral reasoning suggests that our judgments are influenced by two different types of thinking. The first is fast, automatic, and emotional, often based on gut feelings or instincts. The second is slower, deliberate, and logical, involving careful analysis of the situation. When faced with moral questions, we may initially react emotionally, but we can also engage in reasoned thought to reach more considered judgments. Both processes interact and shape our moral decisions, balancing instinctive reactions with thoughtful reflection.
