OBJECTIVES
Recent studies support the idea of an intent-to-outcome shift in moral judgments with age. We further assessed whether a reduced reliance on intentions is associated with aging in a preregistered study with 73 younger (20-41 years) and 79 older (70-84 years) adults, group-matched on education level.
METHOD
Participants were presented with a set of moral cases to evaluate, created by varying orthogonally the valence (neutral, negative) of the information regarding the agent's intentions and the action's outcomes.
RESULTS
The two age groups did not differ in the extent they relied on intentions in moral judgment.
DISCUSSION
These results suggest that an intent-to-outcome shift might not be found in all aging populations, challenging prevailing theories suggesting that aging is necessarily associated with a reduced reliance on intentions.
目的
最近的研究支持这样一种观点，即随着年龄的增长，道德判断会出现从意图到结果的转变。我们进一步评估了在一项预先注册的研究中，随着年龄的增长，减少对意图的依赖是否与 73 名年轻（20-41 岁）和 79 名年长（70-84 岁）成年人相关，这些成年人在教育水平上是匹配的。
方法
参与者被呈现了一组道德案例进行评估，这些案例是通过对代理人意图和行为结果的信息的效价（中性、负面）进行正交变化来创建的。
结果
两个年龄组在道德判断中对意图的依赖程度没有差异。
讨论
这些结果表明，并非所有老龄化人群都会出现从意图到结果的转变，这对流行的理论提出了挑战，这些理论认为老龄化必然与减少对意图的依赖有关。
