Emergency situations require individuals to make important changes in their behaviour. In the case of COVID-19 pandemic, official recommendations avoid spread virus include costly behaviours such as self-quarantining or drastically diminishing social contacts. Compliance (or lack thereof) with these is a controversial and divisive topic, lay hypotheses abound regarding what underlies this divide. This paper investigates which cognitive, moral, emotional traits separate people who comply from...
New technologies regularly bring about profound changes in our daily lives. Romantic relationships are no exception to these transformations. Some philosophers expect the emergence near future of love drugs: a theoretically achievable biotechnological intervention that could be designed strengthen and maintain romantic relationships. We investigated laypeople's resistance use such its sources. Across two studies (Study 1, French Peruvian university students,
Responding to recent concerns about the reliability of published literature in psychology and other disciplines, we formed X-Phi Replicability Project (XRP) estimate reproducibility experimental philosophy (osf.io/dvkpr). Drawing on a representative sample 40 x-phi studies between 2003 2015, enlisted 20 research teams across 8 countries conduct high-quality replication each study order compare results original findings. We found that – as represented our successfully replicated 70% time....
ABSTRACTWe challenge an argument that aims to support Aesthetic Realism by claiming, first, common sense is realist about aesthetic judgments because it considers can be right or wrong, and, second, comes from and accounts for folk aesthetics, the best theory available. We empirically evaluate this probing whether ordinary people with no training whatsoever in subtle debates of philosophy consider their as wrong. Having shown results do not main premise argument, we discuss consequences...
Since at least Hume and Kant, philosophers working on the nature of aesthetic judgment have generally agreed that common sense does not treat judgments in same way as typical expressions subjective preferences—rather, it endows them with intersubjective validity, property being right or wrong regardless disagreement. Moreover, this apparent validity has been taken to constitute one main explananda for philosophical accounts judgment. But is really case most people spontaneously having...
For scientific theories grounded in empirical data, replicability is a core principle, for at least two reasons. First, unless we accept to have rest on the authority of small number researchers, studies should be replicable, sense that its methods and procedure detailed enough someone else conduct same study. Second, results provide solid foundation theorizing, they also most attempts replicating original study produced them would yield similar results. The XPhi Replicability Project...
People can be moved and overwhelmed, a phenomenon typically accompanied by goose-bumps tears. We argue that these feelings of being are not limited to situations appraised as pro-social but elicited when someone surpasses an internal standard. In line with predictions, people were relationships success (Study 1), reunion, separation, failure 2) social, environmental sports achievements 3). all three studies, the elicitation was partially mediated appraisals surpassing social or achievement...
Philosophers have long debated whether, if determinism is true, we should hold people morally responsible for their actions since in a deterministic universe, are arguably not the ultimate source of nor could they done otherwise initial conditions and laws nature held fixed. To reveal how non-philosophers ordinarily reason about free will, conducted cross-cultural cross-linguistic survey (N = 5,268) spanning twenty countries sixteen languages. Overall, participants tended to ascribe moral...
Abstract In the context of COVID-19 pandemic, French public opinion has been divided about Pr. Didier Raoult and his hydroxychloroquine-based treatment against COVID-19. this paper, our aim is to contribute understanding polarization by investigating relationship between (analytic vs. intuitive) cognitive style trust in treatment. Through three studies (total N after exclusion = 950), we found that a more intuitive predicted higher Moreover, Trust was positively associated with belief truth...
In the past decade, a number of empirical researchers have suggested that laypeople compatibilist intuitions. recent paper, Feltz and Millan (2015 Feltz, A., & Millan, M. (2015). An error theory for Philosophical Psychology, 28(4), 529–555.[Taylor Francis Online], [Web Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) challenged this conclusion by claiming most are only compatibilists in appearance fact willing to attribute free will people no matter what. As evidence claim, they shown an important proportion...
If feeling a genuine emotion requires believing that its object actually exists, and if this is belief we are unlikely to have about fictional entities, then how could feel emotions towards these entities? This question lies at the core of paradox fiction. Since original formulation, has generated substantial literature. Until recently, dominant strategy had consisted in trying solve it. Yet, it more common for scholars try dismiss using data theories from psychology. In opposition trend,...
Based on the “Knobe Effect,” Knobe has argued that moral evaluations can influence intentionality judgments. However, two methodological objections have been raised against this claim: first, participants’ answers do not accurately reflect what they think and, second, Effect be fully explained by non-moral factors, such as agent’s desires or beliefs. In article, we discuss these to existence of and provide new evidence shape First, Study 1 shows standard measures overestimate Second, Studies...
Studying the folk concept of intentional action, Knobe (2003a Knobe, J. 2003a. Intentional action and side-effects in ordinary language. Analysis, 63: 190–193. [Crossref], [Web Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) discovered a puzzling asymmetry: most people consider some bad side effects as while they good unintentional. In this study, we extend these findings with new experiments. The first experiment shows that very same effect can be found ascriptions intentionality case means for action....
Abstract In the past decade, experimental philosophy – attempt at making progress on philosophical problems using empirical methods has thrived in a wide range of domains. However, only recent years aesthetics succeeded drawing attention philosophers. The present paper constitutes first survey these works and nascent field ‘experimental aesthetics’. We both by philosophers topics such as ontology aesthetics, aesthetic epistemology, concepts, imagination, well research from other disciplines...
