A data frame with 40 rows and 3 variables:

participant: Respondent identifier
condition: Type of words unscrambled: neutral priming or clean priming
moral_judgements: Average of moral judgement scale, 6 items, all ranked from 0-9

Some researchers believe that moral judgements are based not only on rational considerations but on one's current emotional state. To what extent can recent emotional experiences influence moral judgements? Schnall et al. (2008) examined this question by manipulating feelings of cleanliness and purity and then observing if this changes how harshly participants judged the morality of others. Participants completed a word scramble task with either neutral words (neutral priming) or words related to cleanliness (cleanliness prime). All students then completed a set of moral judgements about controversial scenarios
