# behav: to change moral decisions (between 'guilt aversion’ and 'inequity aversion) depending on the context.

AA << find markedly different neural substrates for the strategies of "guilt aversion’ and 'inequity aversion", even under conditions where the two strategies produce the same choices.  >>

AA << also identify a new strategy, 'moral opportunism', in which participants adaptively switch between guilt and inequity aversion, with a corresponding switch observed in their neural activation patterns. These findings provide a valuable view into understanding how different individuals may utilize different moral principles. >>
