Non-rescuers were 21 times more likely than rescuers to have been raised in families that emphasized obedience—being given rules that were to be followed without question—while rescuers were over three times more likely than non-rescuers to identify “reasoning” as an element of their moral education.
Quite interesting. Though it seems 21⁄22 is P(obedience emphasized|non-rescuer); I’d be curious to know P(non-rescuer|obedience emphasized), considering that the proportion of obedience-emphasizing families is probably a lot higher than ones with more humanistic parenting in the first place (I’m guessing). Do we know the priors for that? Do they specify what proportion of the families they studied emphasized obedience?

Actually… isn’t what we have P(obedience | non-rescue)/P(obedience | rescue) = 21?
What we probably want is something like P(rescue | obedience)/P(rescue | non-obedience)
