Abstract |
Fundamental beliefs about free will and moral responsibility are often thought to shape our
ability to have healthy relationships with others and ourselves. Emotional reactions have also
been shown to have an important and pervasive impact on judgments and behaviors. Recent
research suggests that emotional reactions play a prominent role in judgments about free will,
influencing judgments about determinism’s relation to free will and moral responsibility.
However, the extent to which affect influences these judgments is unclear. We conducted a metaanalysis
to estimate the impact of affect. Our meta-analysis indicates that beliefs in free will are
largely robust to emotional reactions.
