Moral decision-making in business means the decisions involved in moral issues in business context. Moral intensity is a construct that captures the extent of issue-related moral imperative in a situation, which is one of the most important factors in the study of moral decision-making in business. Based on Issue-Contingent Model, the present study investigated the influence of moral intensity on moral decision-making in business (including moral recognition, moral judgment, and moral intent in the present study), and further focused on exploring the mechanism of moral intensity in moral decision-making in business. Recently, the studies in decision-making gave more emphasis to the role of emotions. The present study tried to include empathy into moral decision-making in business to explore the role of empathy in the relationship between moral intensity and moral decision-making in business, which would enrich and extend Issue-Contingent Model. The present study would also make up for a deficiency in the study of moral decision-making in business that overemphasized the rational reasoning and neglected the role of emotions. There were three parts in the present study. Firstly, study 1 replicated the former study and explored the relationship between perceived moral intensity and moral decision-making in business in China by questionnaire method. Secondly, study 2 focused on exploring the influence of the components of moral intensity on moral decision-making in business and empathic response by experimental method. Finally, study 3 explored the role of empathy in the relationship between moral intensity and moral decision-making in business. The results indicated that, 1.Perceived moral intensity was the significant predictor for moral decision- making in business. 2.Magnitude of consequence, social consensus, and probability of effect had significant effects on moral decision-making in business. Magnitude of consequence and probability of effect could influence empathic response significantly. 3.Empathic response played the role of mediator between moral intensity and moral decision-making in business. Empathic response completely mediated the relationship between moral intensity and moral recognition. Empathic response partly mediated the relationship between moral intensity and moral judgment, moral intent. Further analysis indicated that probability of effect and magnitude of consequence relied more on empathic response than social consensus to influence moral judgment and moral intent. Dispositional empathy could influence moral decision-making in business through perceived moral intensity and empathic response. 4.Controlled empathic levels could influence moral decision-making in business significantly. Empathic levels influenced the effect of probability of effect on moral decision-making in business, and did not influence the effect of magnitude of consequence and social consensus on moral decision-making in business. These findings not only contribute to enrich the models of moral decision- making in business, but also have significant practical applications in the training of moral decision-making in business.

L’étude de l’intimité a été négligée chez les couples dont la femme présente une vulvodynie, un problème de santé sexuelle qui affecte négativement les femmes et leurs partenaires. Or, l’intimité a été associée à des indicateurs d’adaptation psychologique et conjugale auprès d’autres populations cliniques. L’objectif de la thèse était d’examiner les liens entre l’intimité et le bien-être sexuel chez les femmes présentant de la vulvodynie et leurs partenaires. Le but du premier article était d’examiner l’intimité conjugale et l’intimité sexuelle en lien avec la satisfaction sexuelle, la fonction sexuelle, le sentiment d’auto-efficacité face à la douleur et l’intensité de la douleur vulvo-vaginale de la femme. Quatre-vingt-onze femmes présentant de la vulvodynie et leurs partenaires ont complété des mesures auto-rapportées. Chez les femmes, une plus grande intimité sexuelle a été associée à une satisfaction sexuelle et à un sentiment d’auto-efficacité plus élevés. Des degrés plus élevés d’intimité conjugale et sexuelle ont été associés à une fonction sexuelle plus élevée. L’intimité sexuelle et conjugale n’ont pas été associées à l’intensité de la douleur. Le deuxième article visait, par une méthodologie observationnelle et des mesures auto-rapportées, à examiner les associations entre deux composantes centrales de l’intimité – le dévoilement et la réponse empathique – et la satisfaction et la détresse sexuelle chez cinquante femmes et leurs partenaires. Le dévoilement et la réponse empathique ont été évalués selon la perspective d’une observatrice formée et auto-rapportés par les couples après une tâche de discussion. Les femmes et les partenaires ayant une plus grande réponse empathique rapportaient eux-mêmes une satisfaction sexuelle plus élevée. Pendant la discussion, une plus grande réponse empathique chez les femmes a été associée à une plus grande satisfaction sexuelle chez leurs partenaires. Un plus grand dévoilement chez le couple, tel que perçu par les femmes et leurs partenaires, a été associé à une plus grande satisfaction sexuelle chez les partenaires. Une plus grande réponse empathique chez les femmes a été associée à une plus faible détresse sexuelle chez les partenaires. Un plus grand dévoilement chez le couple, tel que perçu par les partenaires, a été associé à une plus faible détresse sexuelle chez ces derniers. Les implications cliniques, théoriques et méthodologiques de la thèse sont discutées.

Recent brain imaging studies using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) have implicated insula and anterior cingulate cortices in the empathic response to another's pain. However, virtually nothing is known about the impact of the voluntary generation of compassion on this network. To investigate these questions we assessed brain activity using fMRI while novice and expert meditation practitioners generated a loving-kindness-compassion meditation state. To probe affective reactivity, we presented emotional and neutral sounds during the meditation and comparison periods. Our main hypothesis was that the concern for others cultivated during this form of meditation enhances affective processing, in particular in response to sounds of distress, and that this response to emotional sounds is modulated by the degree of meditation training. The presentation of the emotional sounds was associated with increased pupil diameter and activation of limbic regions (insula and cingulate cortices) during meditation (versus rest). During meditation, activation in insula was greater during presentation of negative sounds than positive or neutral sounds in expert than it was in novice meditators. The strength of activation in insula was also associated with self-reported intensity of the meditation for both groups. These results support the role of the limbic circuitry in emotion sharing. The comparison between meditation vs. rest states between experts and novices also showed increased activation in amygdala, right temporo-parietal junction (TPJ), and right posterior superior temporal sulcus (pSTS) in response to all sounds, suggesting, greater detection of the emotional sounds, and enhanced mentation in response to emotional human vocalizations for experts than novices during meditation. Together these data indicate that the mental expertise to cultivate positive emotion alters the activation of circuitries previously linked to empathy and theory of mind in response to emotional stimuli.
