    "abstract": "The Social Intuitionist Model emphasizes the primary role of moral intuitions, rather than analytical moral reasoning, in forming moral judgments. In line with this model, moral emotions, rather than reasoning, are strongly associated with moral actions. This study explored the impact of emotionally evocative film excerpts, specifically those featuring moral dilemmas within varying contexts of social distance, on moral judgment processes. We invited 88 college students to view excerpts from foreign movies and their Chinese remakes under three music conditions: no music, positive music, and negative music. Participants evaluated the characters' actions based on three moral dimensions: Harm, Fairness, and Authority, while also rating their emotional responses. The results indicated that positive music during moral dilemmas elicited strong negative emotional responses. Additionally, viewers judged the protagonist's actions more harshly regarding fairness and placed greater emphasis on social order and authority in Chinese compared to foreign movie excerpts, regardless of the music's emotional valence.",
