But the results already cited above cast doubt on these hypotheses as well (see in particular Batson et al. 1999: 526; this is not to say that these hypotheses are not accurate in other cases, but the focus here is only on understanding the data generated by Batson’s studies). Batson also introduced another variety of the setup whereby the moral principle is made salient, a coin is provided, and the coin is clearly marked on one side with “SELF to POS[ITIVE]” and “OTHER to POS” for the opposite side (Batson et al. 1999: 527). In those cases when the coin lands on OTHER, it seems very hard to think, in spite of what the moral principle and the coin both say, that a person who still assigns himself to the positive consequences task would take that to be morally acceptable. Furthermore, only 2 out of 40 participants reported afterwards that the most morally right thing to do is to assign themselves to the positive consequences task (Batson et al. 1999: 529). Yet of the 28 who chose to flip, Batson found (Batson et al. 1999: 528):
