Moral asymmetries in judgments of agency withstand ludicrous causal deviance
Americans have been shown to attribute greater intentionality to immoral than to amoral actions in cases of causal deviance, that is, cases where a goal is satisfied in a way that deviates from initially planned means (e.g., a gunman wants to hit a target and his hand slips, but the bullet ricochets off a rock into the target). However, past research has yet to assess whether this asymmetry per...
متن کاملCausal deviance and the attribution of moral responsibility
Are current theories of moral responsibility missing a factor in the attribution of blame and praise? Four studies demonstrated that even when cause, intention, and outcome (factors generally assumed to be sufficient for the ascription of moral responsibility) are all present, blame and praise are discounted when the factors are not linked together in the usual manner (i.e., cases of ‘‘causal d...
متن کاملInduction of causal chains
The current study examined one way in which people learn complex causal relations from covariation. When participants were presented with covariation information between X and Y and covariation information between Y and Z only, they were willing to infer a causal relationship between X and Z, although it is not warranted by the evidence. Furthermore, the perceived strength of the terminal relat...
متن کاملRunning head: TRANSITIVE REASONING IN CAUSAL CHAINS Transitive Reasoning Distorts Induction in Causal Chains
A probabilistic causal chain ABC may intuitively appear to be transitive: If A probabilistically causes B, and B probabilistically causes C, A probabilistically causes C. However, probabilistic causal relations are only transitive if the so-called Markov condition holds. In two experiments, we examined how people make probabilistic judgments about indirect relationships AC in causal chains A...
متن کاملAn Algebra of Causal Chains
In this work we propose a multi-valued extension of logic programs under the stable models semantics where each true atom in a model is associated with a set of justifications, in a similar spirit than a set of proof trees. The main contribution of this paper is that we capture justifications into an algebra of truth values with three internal operations: an addition ‘+’ representing alternativ...
