sivan: Wason task performance and morality

Description

Data from an experimental study, using the Wason selection task (Wason 1968) to examine whether humans have cognitive adaptations for detecting violations of rules in multiple moral domains. Moral domains are operationalized in terms of the five domains of the Moral Foundations Questionnaire (Graham et al. 2011). These data were simulated using the R-package synthpop, based on the characteristics of the original data.
