Love, Money, and Blame
How do people judge criminal offenders whose early lives were marked by hardship? In three preregistered studies (total N = 893), we explored how emotional adversity (abuse and neglect) and economic disadvantage (poverty) shape judgments of criminal behavior. Participants evaluated fictional offenders after learning about their upbringing. Study 1 showed that both types of hardship independently reduced blame for criminal behavior, though neither…

Good deeds and hard knocks
Crime, punishment, and causation
Moral judgments about a situation are profoundly shaped by the perception of individuals in that situation as either moral agents or moral patients (Gray & Wegner, 2009; Gray, Young, & Waytz, 2012), Specifically, the more we see someone as a moral agent, the less we see them as a moral patient, and vice versa.

Central to the authors ’ dis-cussion is the claim that the movement within contemporary cognitive science known as “embodied cognition ” provides the theoretical machinery to bring attachment theory and psychoanal…
The Ins and Outs of Introspection
Introspection admits of several varieties, depending on which types of mental events are introspected. I distinguish three kinds of introspection (primary, secondary, and tertiary) and three explanations of the general capacity: the inside access view, the outside access view, and the hybrid view. Drawing on recent evidence from clinical and developmental psychology, I argue that the inside view offers the most promising account of primary and se…
