Social intuitionism

In moral psychology, social intuitionism is a model that proposes that moral positions are often non-verbal and behavioral.[1] Often such social intuitionism is based on "moral dumbfounding" where people have strong moral reactions but fail to establish any kind of rational principle to explain their reaction.[2]
