Abstract This study explored the influence of unethical information’s ingestion on college students’ moral judgment strategies and examined the regulation of moral sensitivity, using Dispositional Moral Sensitivity Questionnaire （DMSQ） and Affective Misattribution Procedure （AMP）. The results showed that： （1） The ingestion intake of unethical information was regulated by individuals’ moral sensitivity. Specifically, individuals with high moral sensitivity were susceptible to unethical information and had negative implicit attitude. On the contrary, the implicit attitudes of individuals with low moral sensitivity were not affected negatively by the ingestion of unethical information. （2） Adolescent students with high moral sensitivity were more likely to ingest unethical information than adolescent students with low moral sensitivity. （3） When the unethical information was consumed, adolescent students with high moral sensitivity tended to adopt deontological strategies, while adolescent students with low moral sensitivity tended to adopt utilitarian strategies. On the contrary, adolescent students with high moral sensitivity were more likely to adopt utilitarian strategies when observing others’ judgments, while adolescent students with low moral sensitivity were more likely to adopt deontological strategies. In short, through the regulation of moral sensitivity, the unethical information intaked by adolescent students had an impact on their moral judgment strategies, which made them divided into two orientations： The deontological strategy and the utilitarian strategy.
