This article has been retracted: please see Elsevier Policy on Article Withdrawal (http://www.elsevier.com/locate/withdrawalpolicy). The authors discovered from comments on their open data that Studies 1 and 2 of their manuscript suffered from a serious flaw. There was a mistake in the Python code they used, and the items (vignettes) were not properly randomized across conditions. In Study 1 (which investigated the effect of cognitive load on moral judgment), all participants in the Load condition received one set of items, whereas all participants in the No Load condition received a different set of items. This meant that they cannot determine whether the difference they observed between the Load and No Load conditions was due to the manipulation (Load vs. No Load) or to a simple difference between items. Given these problems, the authors cannot guarantee that the conclusions of their paper are valid. Because of this error, the authors have requested retraction of their manuscript.
