这项研究调查了基于态度的歧视对道德责任的判断，测试了犯错者的心理状态--意识和远见--是否是罪责的核心决定因素。参与者阅读并评判了一个目标人物，他被描述为有意识地平等主义，但怀有负面态度，导致他对非裔美国人不公平。两项研究表明，当目标意识到消极态度时，参与者将更大的道德责任归因于歧视，而不是当他不知道时。令人惊讶的是，对于一个明确意识到自己的偏见可能会影响他作为目标的行为的目标，道德判断也同样苛刻。为了解释这一结果，第二项研究表明，从意识到道德责任的过程是由目标有义务预见其歧视行为的感知所中介的，而不是目标实际远见的感知。这些结果表明，偏见意识影响了那些从事基于态度的歧视的人的道德判断，因为他们有义务预见有害的后果。目前的发现表明，道德法官不仅考虑描述性事实，还考虑关于违法者精神状态的规范标准。
This research investigated judgements of moral responsibility for attitude-based discrimination, testing whether a wrongdoer's mental states - awareness and foresight - are central determinants of culpability. Participants read about and judged a target person who was described as consciously egalitarian, but harbouring negative attitudes that lead him to treat African Americans unfairly. Two studies showed that participants ascribed greater moral responsibility for discrimination when the target was aware of having negative attitudes than when he was unaware. Surprisingly, moral judgements were equally harsh towards a target who was explicitly aware that his bias could influence his behaviour as a target who was not. To explain this result, a second study showed that the path from awareness to moral responsibility was mediated by perceptions that the target had an obligation to foresee his discriminatory behaviour, but not by perceptions of the target's actual foresight. These results suggest that bias awareness influences moral judgements of those who engage in attitude-based discrimination because it obligates them to foresee harmful consequences. The current findings demonstrate that moral judges consider not just descriptive facts, but also normative standards regarding a wrongdoer's mental states.
