Replicated by anyone else?

Second publication in the field, apparently (has a decent seeming literature review). Statistical analysis looked basically sane (but I don’t know enough to critique other than obvious errors). Yes, certainly does need replication in any case.

My other thought was the "consequentialism" is weird. How do we know which consequences are un/desirable? By means of *deontology* (i.e. with reference to social norms). This is also how we define *virtue*.

Well, these are the standard categories in current mainstream moral theory. I agree that they are dubious.

I am huge fan of testing revealed vs stated preferences. But I worry in this case may be that humans are much more consequentialist with mice because they view them as fungible. And don't view humans similarly

I mean, if you make it even slightly realistic it becomes obvious. If it was 9/11, would you shoot down (or order to shoot down) a Jet that you had strong reason to believe was hijacked? Would you blame someone who did?

The correct answer here is to hit the experimenter shocking the other mice.

And also that to be consequentialist implies that we have time to reflect on consequences before we act. So what happens when subjects don't have time to reflect? And doesn't giving people time imply some bias towards consequentialism in the exptal design!

iirc this is also true when you try giving the prisoners' dilemma to real prisoners: they are way better at cooperating than the college students are.

They know what it's like to play this game more than once in a row.

Trolley problem not looking good in an empirical test.
Subjects were much more consequentialist when choosing in reality than in the thought experiment.
(I am glad.)
