Hypothesis

There will be culturally variable sex differences in moral judgments across countries.

Note

While Care, Fairness, and Purity are consistently higher for women; the results for Loyalty and Authority are highly variable and negligible. In summary, not all moral foundations present culturally variable sex differences. The first significance is from Study 1 and the second one from Study 2.
