Knobe （2003a, 2003b, 2004b）和其他人已经证明了一个令人惊讶的事实，即副作用行为的效价可以影响人们对该行为是否有意进行的直觉。在这里，我们报告了一个实验的结果，通过测试关于知识归因的类似效应来扩展这些发现。我们的研究结果表明，当效果好的时候，受试者不太可能发现代理人知道一个行为会带来副作用，而当效果不好的时候。进一步认为，这些发现虽然是初步的，但对最近认识论中关于知识与行动之间关系的争论具有重要意义。
Knobe (2003a, 2003b, 2004b) and others have demonstrated the surprising fact that the valence of a side-effect action can affect intuitions about whether that action was performed intentionally. Here we report the results of an experiment that extends these findings by testing for an analogous effect regarding knowledge attributions. Our results suggest that subjects are less likely to find that an agent knows an action will bring about a side-effect when the effect is good than when it is bad. It is further argued that these findings, while preliminary, have important implications for recent debates within epistemology about the relationship between knowledge and action.
