Abstract

Who and what people see as vulnerable helps to shape their moral judgments. We present a study (N = 275) revealing strong correspondence between explicit ratings of "assumptions of vulnerability (AoV)" and implicit attitudes about these assumptions, as revealed by an AoV Implicit Affect Misattribution Procedure (AMP).
