Title: Implicit Moral attitudes

Speaker: Walter Sinnott-Armstrong?, Ph.D.,Duke University

Time: October 20 2017 (Fri) 10:30-12:00

Venue: Room 1113, Wang Kezhen Building

Most moral philosophers and psychologists focus on explicit moral beliefs that people give as answers to questions. However, much research in social psychology shows that implicit moral attitudes (unconscious beliefs or associations) also affect our thinking and behavior. This talk will report our new psychological and neuroscientific research on implicit moral attitudes (using multinomial modeling) and then explore potential implications for scientific moral psychology as well as for philosophical theories of moral responsibility and epistemology. （Cameron, C.
