Our paper, 'Trait empathy predicts a preference for the spirit of the law' is published today in the Journal of Research in Personality. The greater one's personal empathy, the greater one's tendency to prioritise a rule's purpose over its text. authors.elsevier.com/c/1k~qWL4LDE1~u

Can consequentialist reflection bring about (a) progress, or, at the least, (b) consensus? In a new paper in @cogsci_soc, we find a clear lack of evidence for either prediction when people reason briefly about various bioethical controversies.
📢New paper! Do we shift our views on bioethical issues after reflecting on consequences? TLDR: Yes, but not as we predicted. Reflecting on consequences does NOT make views more progressive or unified. w/ Bystranowski, @moralsciencelab & @ruetxe 🔓dx.doi.org/10.1111/cogs.7…
