Abstract Sacrificial dilemmas, especially trolley problems, have rapidly become the most recognizable scientific exemplars of moral situations; they are now a familiar part psychological literature and featured prominently in textbooks popular press. We concerned that studies sacrificial dilemmas may lack experimental, mundane, realism therefore suffer from low external validity. Our apprehensions stem three observations about problems other similar dilemmas: (i) amusing rather than...
People tend to attach less value a good if they know delay will occur before obtain it. For example, people receiving $100 tomorrow more than in 10 years. We explored one reason for this tendency (due Parfit, 1984): In terms of psychological properties, such as beliefs, values, and goals, the decision maker is closely linked person (his or her future self) reason, he she prefers his nearer self have rather remote self. Studies 1 2 showed that greater rated connection between parts...

Abstract Using capture-recapture analysis we estimate the effective size of active Amazon Mechanical Turk (MTurk) population that a typical laboratory can access to be about 7,300 workers. We also time taken for half workers leave MTurk pool and replaced is 7 months. Each has its own which overlaps, often extensively, with hundreds other laboratories using MTurk. Our based on sample 114,460 completed sessions from 33,408 unique participants 689 across seven in US, Europe, Australia January...
To what extent are research results influenced by subjective decisions that scientists make as they design studies? Fifteen teams independently designed studies to answer five original questions related moral judgments, negotiations, and implicit cognition. Participants from 2 separate large samples (total N > 15,000) were then randomly assigned complete 1 version of each study. Effect sizes varied dramatically across different sets materials test the same hypothesis: Materials rendered...
Abstract Reducing spending in the present requires combination of being both motivated to provide for one’s future self (valuing future) and actively considering long-term implications choices (awareness future). Feeling more connected self—thinking that important psychological properties define your current are preserved person you will be future—helps motivate consumers make far-sighted by changing their valuation outcomes (e.g., discount factors). However, this change only reduces when...
The ability to discover patterns or rules from our experiences is critical science, engineering, and art. In this article, we examine how much people's discovery of can be incentivized by financial rewards. particular, investigate a classic category learning task for which the effect incentives unknown (Shepard et al., 1961). Across five experiments, find no incentive on rule performance. However, in sixth experiment requiring recognition but not learning, large response time small...
Is morally motivated decision making different from other kinds of making? There is evidence that when people have sacred or protected values (PVs), they reject trade-offs for secular (e.g., "You can't put a price on human life") and tend to employ deontological rather than consequentialist principles. People by PVs appear show quantity insensitivity. That is, in trade-off situations, are less sensitive the consequences their choices without PVs. The current study examined relation between...
Abstract This paper examines people's reasoning about identity continuity (i.e., how people decide that a particular object is the same over time) and its relation to previous research on value one‐of‐a‐kind artifacts, such as artwork. We propose judgments of artworks are related individual persons because art objects seen physical extensions their creators. report reanalysis data results two new empirical studies test this hypothesis. The first study demonstrates mere categorization an...
People's intuitions about the underlying causes of past and future actions might not be same. In 3 studies, we demonstrate that people judge same behavior as more intentional when it will performed in than has been past. We found this temporal asymmetry perceptions both strength an individual's intention overall prevalence a population. Because its heightened intentionality, thought transgression deserved severe punishment would occur did The difference judgments intentionality was partly...

Personal identity is an important determinant of behavior, yet how people mentally represent their self-concepts and concepts other not well understood. In the current studies, we examined age-old question what makes who they are. We propose a novel approach to that suggests answer lies in people's beliefs about features (e.g., memories, moral qualities, personality traits) are causally related each other. impact causal centrality feature, key extent which feature defines concept, on...
A large literature implicates time preference (i.e., how much an outcome retains value as it is delayed) a predictor of wide range behaviors, because most behaviors involve sooner and delayed consequences.
