The central notion of the present study is that moral responsibility, or how we hold others responsible, is not an objective, intellectual, rational, or even a conscious process. Rather this universal daily activity is an interpersonal phenomenon more broadly mediated by how we relate to others. The relational systems required generally to relate to others, and more specifically to blame another, begin to develop very early in life and are the building blocks for our psychological development. Beginning with Bowlby (1969, 1973, 1980), the role of the attachment system as an important inner resource has been an important area of research and theoretical development. In the present study 225 participants (60% men, 40% women) were acquired using the Amazon Turk system, a crowdsourcing internet marketplace. Participants ranged in age from 19--71 with a mean age of 38.1 years (SD = 11.9 years). In the initial phase, participants completed an attachment style measure, The Experiences in Close Relationships--Revised (ECR-R). Then participants were randomly placed in one of three priming groups: secure, anxious, and avoidant attachment orientation. Each temporary attachment orientation was primed by having participants read a paragraph asking them to imagine a secure, anxious, or avoidant relationship. The final phase involved all participants completing the 20-item Multidimensional Social Transgression Scale (MSTS), tapping moral judgments about social transgressors. Results showed that attachment styles had a main effect for appropriate punishment on the MSTS (p < .05). Post hoc comparisons indicated that the Fearful and Secure groups differed significantly (p = .026), with a Secure mean punishment score of M = 5.53 and a Fearful mean punishment score of M = 5.20. Additionally, only the Interpersonal Subscale was significant, consistent with a relational theory of moral attribution. Although there were no significant main effects for the attachment priming, there were non-significant trends for three priming conditions. The consistent findings that fearfully attached individuals scored lower punishment scores on the MSTS indicate that this group may experience moral transgressions differently. Attachment anxiety and attachment avoidance together (fearful attachment), perhaps mediated by dissociation, may have been the deflating influence on the lower punishment scores of the MSTS.
