From: Acute lorazepam administration does not significantly affect moral attitudes or judgments
(A) The association between justice sensitivity and moral evaluation was modulated by the gender factor. While men showed a significant association between other-oriented JSI and blameworthy ratings for harming actions in lorazepam condition (r = -0.524, P < 0.001), women did not show this pattern of correlation (r = -0.14, P = 0.39). Fisher r-to-z transformation tests further corroborated the modulating role of gender on the justice sensitivity-moral evaluation relationship (△z = 1.91, P = 0.028, one-tailed). (B) The reliability of test-retest association between placebo and lorazepam condition was modulated by the implicit versus explicit measure of moral attitudes. While JSI showed a strong correlation between placebo and lorazepam condition (r = 0.872, P < 0.001), mIAT did not show this pattern (r = 0.135, P = 0.231). Fisher r-to-z transformation tests further corroborated the modulating role of implicit versus explicit moral attitudes on the placebo-lorazepam test-retest relationship (△z = 7.51, P < 0.001).
