Abstract

Moral intentionality is often rated unequally by people depending on whether they perceive harm to have been caused (Knobe, 2003). We adapted two vignettes from the original study, and found that participants rate those they perceive to have caused harm significantly higher in intentionality than those in the neutral condition.
