民间目的论驱动持久性判断

两个独立的研究项目揭示了我们判断某些实体是否持续存在的两个不同因素。受 Knobe 启发的一项计划发现，规范性考虑因素会影响持久性判断。例如，当某件事经历的变化导致改进时，人们更倾向于认为它是持久的。另一个受凯莱门启发的项目发现，目的论因素会影响持久性判断。例如，当一件事保留其目的时，人们更倾向于认为它是持久的。我们本文的目标是确定导致持久性判断的原因。在四项研究中，我们将规范性考虑与目的论考虑进行比较。通过使用因果建模程序，我们发现了一个一致、稳健的模式，其目的论而非规范性考虑直接导致持久性判断。我们的发现将目的论置于主导地位，同时进一步阐明了我们民间对物体的概念。
Two separate research programs have revealed two different factors that feature in our judgments of whether some entity persists. One program—inspired by Knobe—has found that normative considerations affect persistence judgments. For instance, people are more inclined to view a thing as persisting when the changes it undergoes lead to improvements. The other program—inspired by Kelemen—has found that teleological considerations affect persistence judgments. For instance, people are more inclined to view a thing as persisting when it preserves its purpose. Our goal in this paper is to determine what causes persistence judgments. Across four studies, we pit normative considerations against teleological considerations. And using causal modeling procedures, we find a consistent, robust pattern with teleological and not normative considerations directly causing persistence judgments. Our findings put teleology in the driver’s seat, while at the same time shedding further light on our folk notion of an object.
