There are two versions of the "trolley dilemma":

(1) In the lever dilemma, a train will hit five people unless you pull a lever. If you pull the lever, it will divert the trolley onto a second track where it will hit one person.

(2) In the footbridge dilemma, you are standing on a footbridge. A trolley is headed towards five people on the tracks. You can push a person off the bridge, and their body will stop the trolley from hitting the five people.

Researchers have asked many people whether they think it is morally okay to pull the lever in the first dilemma, and to push the person off the bridge in the second dilemma. What pattern of response is the most common when people encounter the lever and footbridge versions of the trolley dilemma?

It is morally okay to pull the lever and it is morally okay to push the person off the footbridge.

It is not morally okay to pull the lever and it is not morally okay to push the person off the footbridge.

It is morally okay to pull the lever and it is not morally okay to push the person off the footbridge.

It is not morally okay to pull the lever and it is morally okay to push the person off the footbridge.
