Abstract / Description

This experiment will use a contrastive vignette method to examine predictors of punishment attitudes in a U.S. sample. The understanding hypothesis predicts that the signal that the perpetrator understands why he has been punished will increase satisfaction with the punishment and reduce additional punishment recommendations, relative to the no understanding condition. The suffering hypothesis predicts that the induction of suffering alone will be sufficient to evoke satisfaction with the punishment and reduce additional punishment recommendations. We expect that indicators of punishment goal fulfillment will be greatest in the combined presence of suffering and understanding.
