GENERAL ETHICS - Topics
Most people prefer to rescue identified individuals rather than statistical. The main aim of this two year interdisciplinary project is to analyze psychological mechanisms underlying the identified victim bias and the influence that bias has on moral judgments and legal regulations. During research conducted by the scholars working within the humanities and social sciences (psychologists and legal scholars) we plan: 1) to propose new research methods in experimental philosophy; 2) to conduct new experiments on the identified victim bias; 3) to propose new ways of using the results of experimental research in philosophy and other normative social sciences (law, economy).
