In summary, the differences between the utilitarian consensus condition and the deontologic consensus condition suggests that both anxiously and avoidant attached people base their judgment at least in part on their view of the group's preference. Whereas anxiously attached participants shifted toward the group's preference, avoidant attached participants shifted away from the group's preference. The notion that moral decision makers may take into account the wishes of those who are actually in the situation has been largely absent from previous studies on consequentialist reasoning.
