초록
본 연구는 한국 성인을 대상으로 자폐 기질이 사회도덕적 판단과 어떠한 관련성을 가지고 있는지 탐색하였다. 연구 결과, 자폐 기질이 높을수록 타인의 행동의 도덕성을 평가할 때에 행동의 의도를 고려하는 것에 있어 어려움을 보였다. 특히, 자폐 기질이 높을수록 시나리오 속 주인공이 타인을 해하려는 의도는 있었지만, 결과적으로 실패한 행동에 대해 더 허용적으로 판단하였다. 또한, 자폐 기질이 높을수록 다수의 이익을 위해 소수를 적극적으로 희생시키는 공리주의적 선택의 적절성은 더 높게 판단하였다. 더불어, 도덕적 판단에서 어떠한 기본 원리를 얼마나 중요하게 여기는가에 관한 도덕적 기반 측정의 경우, 자폐 기질이 높을수록 위해 금지에 대한 민감성이 낮은 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 상관관계는 자폐 기질을 높은 집단(AQ >= 26)과 낮은 집단(AQ < 26)으로 나누었을 때, 집단 간 차이로도 확인되었다. 이러한 결과는 자폐 기질이 높을수록 사회도덕적 판단에서 타인의 의도를 고려하는 것에 더 어려움을 겪을 수 있으며, 또한 도덕적 판단에서 타인을 해하여서는 안된다는 위해 금지 원리에 대한 민감성을 더 낮게 보일 수 있음을 시사한다.

Abstract
The present study investigated the relationships between autistic trait and socio-moral judgments. We used Autism Spectrum Quotient, a moral judgment task in which participants needed to consider both the intention and outcomes of a person’s actions, a moral judgment task in which participants were asked to evaluate a person’s utilitarian choices in moral dilemmas, and Moral Foundations Questionnaire. Autistic traits were negatively correlated with blame for failed attempts to harm others, suggesting that higher autistic traits were associated with difficulty in considering intentions in moral judgments. Also, higher autistic traits were associated with higher endorsement of utilitarian option on personal moral dilemmas, and lower endorsement for no-harm principle of moral foundations. These correlations were confirmed as group differences between high autistic-trait group (AQ >= 26) and a low autistic-trait group (AQ < 26). Our findings suggest that individuals with high autistic trait may have difficulty in considering others’ intentions and show lower sensitivity to no-harm principle in moral judgment tasks.
