In this research, we focus on the associated descriptive question whether increased distance does-in fact reduce individuals' sense of helping obligation. One problem with empirically answering this question is that physical proximity is typically confounded with other factors, such as informational directness, shared group membership, or increased efficaciousness. In a series of 5 experiments, we show that distance per se does not influence people's moral intuitions when it is isolated from such confounds. We support our claims with both frequentist and Bayesian statistics. We relate these findings to philosophical arguments concerning the normative relevance of distance and to psychological theories linking distance cues to higher level social cognition. The effects of joint versus separate evaluation paradigms on moral judgments are also discussed."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1037/a0028641"],["dc.identifier.isi","000313478100018"],["dc.identifier.pmid","22686846"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/31358"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Amer Psychological Assoc"],["dc.relation.issn","0278-7393"],["dc.title","Deconfounding Distance Effects in Judgments of Moral Obligation"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

We investigate how people integrate knowledge about modern technology with their ancestral moral dispositions to help relieve nearby suffering. Our first study establishes that spatial proximity between an agent's means of helping and the victims increases people's judgement of helping obligations, even if the agent is constantly far personally. We then report and meta-analyse 20 experiments elucidating the cognitive mechanisms behind this effect, which include inferences of increased efficaciousness and personal involvement. Implications of our findings for the scientific understanding of ancestral moral dispositions in modern environments are discussed, as well as suggestions for how these insights might be exploited to increase charitable giving. Our meta-analysis provides a practical example for how aggregating across all available data, including failed replication attempts, allows conclusions that could not be supported in single experiments."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1080/13546783.2015.1114023"],["dc.identifier.isi","000370651800003"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/40857"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd"],["dc.relation.issn","1464-0708"],["dc.relation.issn","1354-6783"],["dc.title","On having very long arms: how the availability of technological means affects moral cognition"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]
