Vaccination can sufficiently ameliorate the coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19). Investigating what factors influence vaccine uptake may benefit ongoing vaccination efforts (e.g. booster injections, annual vaccination). The present study expanded Protection Motivation Theory with possible including perceived knowledge, adaptive responses, and maladaptive responses to develop a proposed model investigating among United Kingdom (UK) Taiwan (TW) populations. An online survey collected from UK...
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...
Most philosophers believe that a person can have an obligation only insofar as she is able to fulfil it, principle generally referred "Ought Implies Can". Arguably, this reflects something basic about the ordinary concept of obligation. However, in paper published recently journal, Wesley Buckwalter and John Turri presented evidence for conclusion people fact reject principle. With series studies, they claimed demonstrated that, people's judgements, obligations persist irrespective whether...
Moti Mizrahi provides experimental evidence according to which subjects judge that a person ought ? even when she cannot ?. He takes his results constitute falsification of the alleged intuitiveness ‘Ought Implies Can’ principle. We point out in light fact (a) ‘ought’ is multiply ambiguous, (b) only restricted set readings will be relevant principle, and (c) he did not instruct appropriately – or otherwise ensure their judgements they applied concept(s) Mizrahi’s conclusions appear...
With a series of studies, Royzman and Borislow (2022) purport to show that extant models about the conditions under which harmful actions are deemed morally wrong do not have explanatory power—for any proposed condition, various meet condition but immoral. And they reach following conclusion: judgments moral wrongdoing in context (or more generally) reducible an template. However, did address main claim deflationary model harm wrongdoing, is intuitions injustice connect (Sousa & Piazza,...
With a series of studies, Royzman and Borislow (2022) purport to show that extant models about the conditions under which harmful actions are deemed morally wrong do not have explanatory power—for any proposed condition, various meet condition but immoral. Instead advocating an alternative model, they reach sceptical conclusion: judgments on harm moral wrongdoing (or more generally) reducible template. However, misconstrued deflationary view harm, states intuitions injustice connect (Sousa &...
It is often assumed that disagreement only occurs when there a clash (e.g., inconsistency) between beliefs. In the philosophical literature, this “narrow” view has sometimes been considered obvious, intuitively correct view. paper, we argue it should not be. We have conducted two preregistered studies gauging English speakers’ intuitions about whether in case where parties non-clashing beliefs and clashing intentions. Our results suggest common tell against default Ordinary speakers describe...
We consider the thorny issue of whether ascribing to an agent obligation φ implies that it is possible for . Traditionally, this has been interpreted as “ought” “can”. But another linguistic interpretation available, namely, “must” “can” (MIC). show does imply via a convergent argument. First, we prove MIC from well‐established theory modality in natural language, proposed by Kratzer. Second, present novel acceptability judgement studies showing predicts and explains behaviour native English...
