Abstract Psychometric scales are useful tools in understanding people’s attitudes towards different aspects of life. As societies develop and new technologies arise, validated needed. Robots artificial intelligences various kinds about to occupy just every niche human society. Several measure fears anxieties robots do exist, but there is a definite lack hopes expectations for these technologies. Here, we create validate novel multi-dimensional scale which measures robots, giving equal weight...
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...
Abstract Artificial intelligences (AIs) are widely used in tasks ranging from transportation to healthcare and military, but it is not yet known how people prefer them act ethically difficult situations. In five studies (an anthropological field study, n = 30, four experiments, total 2150), we presented with vignettes where a human or an advanced robot nurse ordered by doctor forcefully medicate unwilling patient. Participants were more accepting of nurse's than forceful medication the...
Mind upload, making a digital copy of one's brain, is part the transhumanistic dream eternal life and end suffering. It also perceived as viable route toward artificial general intelligence (AGI). However, AI safety research has alerted to one major risk in creating AGI by mind upload: namely, that upload technology could appeal primarily callous selfish individuals who then abuse this for their personal gain—and, potentially, at considerable cost welfare humankind. Therefore, it important...
Verbruggen, Chambers, Lawrence, and McLaren (2017) recently challenged the view that individuals act with greater caution following experience of a negative outcome by showing gambled loss resulted in faster reaction time (RT) on next trial. Over three experiments, we replicate establish boundary conditions this effect context simple game (rock, paper, scissors [RPS]). Choice responding against unexploitable opponents replicated link between failure responding. However, high win-rates...
Utilitarian versus deontological inclinations have been studied extensively in the field of moral psychology. However, has lacking a thorough psychometric evaluation most commonly used measures. In this paper, we examine factorial structure an often set 12 dilemmas purportedly measuring utilitarian/deontological inclinations. We ran three different studies (and pilot) to investigate issue. Study 1, standard Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Schmid-Leimann (g factor) analysis; results...
Abstract Research in moral psychology has found that robots, more than humans, are expected to make utilitarian decisions. This expectation is specifically when contrasting action deontological inaction. In a series of eight experiments (total N = 3752), we compared judgments about robots’ and humans’ decisions rescue dilemma with no possibility A robot's decision an innocent victim accident was judged positively the two people culpable for (Studies 1–2b). pattern repeated large‐scale web...
Abstract The role of emotional disgust and sensitivity in moral judgment decision-making has been debated intensively for over 20 years. Until very recently, there were two main evolutionary narratives this rather puzzling association. One the models suggest that it was developed through some form group selection mechanism, where internal norms groups acting as pathogen safety mechanisms. Another model suggested these mechanisms hygiene norms, which piggybacking on In study we present...
In six vignette-based experiments, we assessed people's moral reactions towards various cognition-enhancing brain implants, including their overall approval and perceived fairness, as well the dehumanization of brain-implanted agents. Across domains memory (Studies 1–4, 6), general intelligence (Study 5A), emotional stability 5B), people in approved alleviating ailments, even attaining optimal human performance, but expressed greater opposition superhuman levels enhancement. Further analyses...
Abstract The ongoing conversation on AI ethics and politics is in full swing has spread to the general public. Rather than contributing by engaging with issues views discussed, we want step back comment widening itself. We consider evolved human cognitive tendencies biases, how they frame hinder ethics. Primarily, describe our innate capacities known as folk theories apply them phenomena of different implicit categories. Through examples empirical findings, show that such specifically affect...
Governments across the globe imposed behavioral restrictions to halt spread of COVID-19. These preventive behaviors became a moralized issue and engagement in those varied. In moral psychology, there are various theoretical frameworks with measures individual differences that concern way we form judgments. pre-registered longitudinal three-wave project started before pandemic, examined predictive power several on compliance guidelines, moralization toward noncompliance, intention vaccinate...
In two experiments, we used the simple zero-sum game Rock, Paper and Scissors to study common reinforcement-based rules of repeating choices after winning (win-stay) shifting from previous choice options losing (lose-shift). Participants played against both computer opponents who could not be exploited by making that would at times conflict with reinforcement. Against unexploitable opponents, participants achieved an approximation random behavior, contrary research commonly finding...

The process dissociation procedure (PDP) for moral cognition was created to separately measure two dispositions of judgment based on the dual-process theory reasoning: deontological and utilitarian inclinations. In this paper we raise some concerns from a psychometrics perspective regarding structure, reliability, validity PDP as individual differences. Using simulation studies well real sample N = 1,010, investigate psychometric properties PDP. We present novel evidence showing that (1)...

Mind upload, or the digital copying of an individual brain and mind, could theoretically allow one to "live forever." If such a technology became available, who would be most likely approve it condemn it? Research has shown that fear death positively predicts moral approval hypothetical mind upload technology, while religiosity may have opposite effect. We build on these findings, drawing also from work existential mattering as predictors perceived meaning in one's life. In cross-sectional...
In this chapter we focus on some of the problems that novel trans-humanistic technologies pose to our moral cognition. We use an interdisciplinary approach for analyzing these and a wide range theories from e.g evolutionary psychology, anthropology cognitive science.

In this chapter, we will provide theoretical background of discussion on issues related to AIs. Some the main topics, theories and frameworks are mind perception moral cognition, psychology, evolutionary trans-humanism ontological categories shaped by evolution.
