The study included three timepoints. A baseline experiment (August 2019; before the COVID-19 pandemic) and two timepoints during the pandemic (April 2020 and September 2020). The baseline experiment (COVID-19 experiment study 1) was designed to evaluate the consistency of moral decision-making across pairs of dilemmas that were matched for different moral principles. The second (COVID-19 experiment study 2) and third (COVID-19 experiment study 3) experiments were designed to test whether the COVID-19 pandemic had changed people's response patterns (were they more or less utilitarian than before the pandemic) and evaluate whether moralisation of everyday behaviours, such as having a house party, would predict behaviours related to government-recommended guidelines on social distancing and hygiene.
