Personal values have long been associated with individual decision behavior. ... We found a significant positive contribution of altruistic values to ethical decision making and a significant negative contribution of self-enhancement values to ethical decision making.

The five principles, autonomy, justice, beneficence, nonmaleficence, and fidelity are each absolute truths in and of themselves.

some examples of ethical decision making--

An ethical decision is one where one chooses how to respond to a given situation based on values of “good/right” and “bad/wrong”, as opposed to mere expediency or efficiency.
