That's really interesting. Thanks for the link -- it's weird that some of these types seem to kind of match up with mainstream philosophical ethical stances, but not really. For instance, it seems that both the situationists and the absolutists are concerned with both the moral norms and the consequences? Did I read that right? In normative philosophical ethics, though, one of the huge divides is between consequentialism and deontology (duties based in moral norms). So the idea of folks looking to BOTH the norm and the consequence doesn't even really come up that much in normative ethics. Which I suppose says something about the different approaches of philosophy and psychology! Since it makes good philosophical sense, I think, to draw the distinction that way, but psychologically I suppose people are concerned with both.
Hmm!
Your research also sounds intriguing -- maybe just because it confirms my own prejudices. ;)
