I'm still trying to make the conceptual leap from psychology to metaethics (which I'm encountering for the first time). However, in moral psychology there is an aphorism that says moral intuitions come first, strategic reasoning second. In other words, most of our moral judgments are influenced or have origins in emotional responses. Strictly cognitive explanations (rational ones that ignore everything else) tend to be incomplete. Here's a more in-depth video.
