Abstract

We investigate whether a small digital trace, gathered from simple repeated matrix game play data, can reveal fundamental aspects of a person's sacred values or moral identity. We find correlations that are often counterintuitive on the surface, but are coherent upon deeper analysis. This ability to reveal information about a person's moral identity could be useful in a wide variety of settings.
