چکیده

In this paper, we examine Adam Feltz and Edward Cokely's recent claim that "the personality trait extraversion predicts people's intuitions about the relationship of determinism to free will and moral responsibility" (INSERT REFERENCE). We will first present some criticisms of their work before briefly examining the results of a recent study of our own. We argue that while Feltz and Cokely have their finger on the pulse of an interesting and important issue, they have not established a robust and stable connection between extraversion and compatibilist-friendly intuitions.

The Fragmented Folk: More Evidence of Stable Individual Differences in Moral Judgments and Folk Intuitions

In a series of five experiments, we demonstrate that moral judgments and folk intuitions are often predictably fragmented. Drawing on the domains of ethics and action theory, we illustrate ways in which judgment tends to be associated with stable individual differences such as personality traits and reflective cognitive styles. We argue that these individual differences pose several unique chal...

Training Graph Literacy: Developing the RiskLiteracy.org Outreach Platform

Visual aids have been found to provide an unusually efficient means of risk communication for diverse and vulnerable individuals facing high-stakes choices (e.g., health, finance, natural hazards). Research indicates the benefits of visual aids follow from scaffolding of cognitive and metacognitive processes that enable independent evaluation and understanding of risk—i.e., risk literacy (see S...

Do judgments about freedom and responsibility depend on who you are? Personality differences in intuitions about compatibilism and incompatibilism.

Recently, there has been an increased interest in folk intuitions about freedom and moral responsibility from both philosophers and psychologists. We aim to extend our understanding of folk intuitions about freedom and moral responsibility using an individual differences approach. Building off previous research suggesting that there are systematic differences in folks' philosophically relevant ...
