“…Haidt, 2001). People's affective reactions can occur relatively quickly, with little conscious cognitive processing (e.g., Lazarus, 1991), which suggests that affective reactions might sometimes occur before more carefully reasoned fairness judgments, particularly in domains that are morally loaded (see also Hume 1739Hume /1951.…”

When people have strong moral convictions about outcomes, their judgments of both outcome and procedural fairness become driven more by whether outcomes support or oppose their moral mandates than by whether procedures are proper or improper (the moral mandate effect). Two studies tested 3 explanations for the moral mandate effect. In particular, people with moral mandates may (a) have a greater motivation to seek out procedural flaws when outcomes fail to support their moral point of view (the motivated reasoning hypothesis), (b) be influenced by in-group distributive biases as a result of identifying with parties that share rather than oppose their moral point of view (the group differentiation hypothesis), or (c) react with anger when outcomes are inconsistent with their moral point of view, which, in turn, colors perceptions of both outcomes and procedures (the anger hypothesis). Results support the anger hypothesis.

“…These modulations in time perception may be related to the feeling of controlling actions. For example, if binding shortens the perceived interval between action and effect, it may enhance the sense of agency, because temporal contiguity plays an important role in both causation (Hume, 1739) and sense of control (Wegner, 2002). However, the binding measure is indirect, and does not explicitly measure the sense of agency.…”

Recent research has shown that human instrumental action is associated with systematic changes in time perception: The interval between a voluntary action and an outcome is perceived as shorter than the interval between a physically similar involuntary movement and an outcome. The study by Ebert and Wegner (this issue) suggests that this change in time perception is related to higher order agency experience. Notwithstanding certain issues arising from their study, which are discussed, we believe it offers validation of binding as a measure of sense of agency.

“…Is it possible for a person who cannot recall any personal experiences--and therefore cannot know how he or she behaved to know what he or she is like? Questions such as these have stimulated debate among philosophers (e.g., Grice, 1941;Hume, 1739Hume, /1817Locke, 1690Locke, /1731Shoemaker, 1963) and psychologists (e.g., Buss & Craik, 1983;James, 1890;Klein & Loftus, 1993b;Locksley & Lenauer, 1981) for more than 300 years, Unfortunately, as evidenced by the number of years that debate on this topic has persisted, the question of whether trait knowledge is inseparable from memory for past behavior has proven difficult to answer. In this article we make a modest contribution to this debate by demonstrating that an individual can have detailed and accurate knowledge of her traits despite having little if any conscious access to behavioral memories from which she could infer that knowledge.…”

The authors present the case of W.J., who, as a result of a head injury, temporarily lost access to her episodic memory. W.J. was asked both during her amnesia and following its resolution to make trait judgments about herself. Because her responses when she could access episodic memories were consistent with her responses when she could not, the authors conclude that the loss of episodic memory did not greatly affect the availability of her trait self-knowledge. The authors discuss how neuropsychological evidence can contribute to theorizing about personality and social processes.
