A cross-cultural survey experiment revealed a dominant tendency to rely on rule’s letter over its spirit when deciding which behaviors violate the rule. This varied markedly across ( k = 15) countries, owing variation in impact of moral appraisals judgments rule violation. Compared with laypeople, legal experts were more inclined disregard their evaluations acts altogether and consequently exhibited stronger textualist tendencies. Finally, we evaluated plausible mechanism for emergence...
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...
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...
The use of hypothetical moral dilemmas—which pit utilitarian considerations welfare maximization against emotionally aversive "personal" harms—has become a widespread approach for studying the neuropsychological correlates judgment in healthy subjects, as well clinical populations with social, cognitive, and affective deficits. In this article, we propose that refinement standard stimulus set could provide an opportunity to more precisely identify psychological factors underlying performance...
The mainstream version of the dual-process model moral cognition claims that utilitarian responses (URs) to sacrificial dilemmas are outputs controlled cognitive processes. This predicts interfering with resources should elicit more intuitive-deontological responses. Attempts in literature experimentally confirm this prediction have been inconclusive. Some experiments partially prediction, but others suggest URs slightly favoured time-pressure condition. We present a sequence four studies...
Abstract Despite pervasive variation in the content of laws, legal theorists and anthropologists have argued that laws share certain abstract features even speculated law may be a human universal. In present report, we evaluate this thesis through an experiment administered 11 different countries. Are there cross‐cultural principles law? between‐subjects design, participants ( N = 3,054) were asked whether could violate procedural (e.g., applied retrospectively or unintelligible laws), also...

Research on moral judgment with dilemmas suggests that "utilitarian" responses (UR) to sacrificial high-conflict are due decreased harm aversion, not only in individuals clinical conditions, but also healthy participants high scores antisocial personality traits. We investigated the patterns of different dilemma types and present evidence some URs morally motivated, as indicated by their empathic concern (EC) or primary psychopathy (PP) scores. In study 1 (N = 230) we tested students four...
Abstract In the sacrificial moral dilemma task, participants have to morally judge an action that saves several lives at cost of killing one person. According dual process corrective model judgment suggested by Greene and collaborators (2001; 2004; 2008), cognitive control is necessary override intuitive, deontological force norm against endorse utilitarian perspective. However, a conflict has been proposed more recently account for part evidence in favor models social decision making. this...
Outside Western, predominantly secular-liberal environments, norms restricting bodily and sexual conduct are widespread. Moralization in the so-called purity domain has been treated as evidence that some putative violations victimless. However, respondents themselves disagree: They often report private yet indecent acts incur self-harm, or harm to one's family wider community-a result which we replicate Study 1. We then distinguish two cognitive processes could generate a link between...

Abstract We review some processing assumptions that underlie the currently used measures of moral judgement with dilemmas, contrasting them overlooked possibility primary mechanism consists in assessing a net balance costs versus benefits sacrificial action. Different dilemmas scenarios present different balances cost benefits, and participants usually change between from disapproval to approval motivated by what appears be larger positive benefits. The thresholds for such are personal vary....
Altruism is a central concept in evolutionary biology. Evolutionary biologists still disagree about its meaning (E.O. Wilson 2005; Fletcher et al. 2006; D.S. 2008; Foster 2006a, b; West 2007a, 2008). Semantic disagreement appears to be quite robust and not easily overcome by attempts at clarification, suggesting that substantive conceptual issues lurk the background. Briefly, group selection theorists define altruism as any trait makes altruists losers selfish traits within groups, groups of...
Semantic disagreement appears to be quite robust and not easily overcome by attempts at clarification, suggesting that substantive conceptual issues lurk in the background.Briefly, group selection theorists define altruism as any trait makes altruists losers selfish traits within groups, groups of fitter than non-altruists.Inclusive fitness reject a definition based on within-and between-group fitness.Traits are altruistic only if they cause direct absolute loss donor.The latter is more...
In line with recent efforts to empirically study the folk concept of weakness will, we examine two issues in this paper: (1) How is will attribution (WWA) influenced by an agent's violations best judgment and/or resolution, and moral valence action? (2) Do any these influences depend on cognitive dispositions judging individual? We implemented a factorial 2 × between-subjects design violation, resolution action as independent variables, measured participants' using Frederick's Cognitive...
Abstract. Is morality biologically altruistic? Does it imply a disadvantage in the struggle for existence? A positive answer puts at odds with natural selection, unless selection operates level of groups. In this case, trait that is good groups though bad (reproductively) individuals can evolve. Sociobiologists reject group and have adopted one two horns dilemma. Either based on an egoistic calculus, compatible selection; or continues tied to psychological biological altruism but not as...
In an experimental critique of the moral/conventional (M/C) distinction, Kelly et al. (2007) present new data about responses to transgressions involving harm, where novelty is that transgressors are grown-ups, rather than children. Their do not support distinction. The contrast between grown-up and schoolyard does seem, however, explain their results: they also use two with similar negative results for M/C distinction.I here attempt away by calling attention mistakes in design. One refers...
