Using fMRI to Dissect Moral Judgment

Source: William Brady & Jay Van Bavel—New York University In examining the roles of reason and emotion in moral judgments, psychologists and philosophers alike point to the trolley dilemma and the footbridge dilemma. With the trolley dilemma, most people say that it is appropriate to pull a switch to stop a train from hitting five people by diverting it to kill one person. However, with the footbridge dilemma, most people say it is inappropriate to push a large man off of a bridge in order...

Evaluating the Accuracy of Snap Judgments

Source: Diego Reinero & Jay Van Bavel—New York University Social psychologists have long been interested in the way people form impressions of others. Much of this work has focused on the errors people make in judging others, such as the exaggerated influence of central traits (such as "warm" and "cold"), the insufficient weight given to the context in which others' behavior takes place, and the tendency for people to make judgments that conform to their initial expectations about another.

The Implicit Association Test

2023
Source: Julian Wills & Jay Van Bavel—New York University One of the core constructs in social psychology is the notion of an attitude toward an object or person. Traditionally, psychologists measured attitudes by simply asking people to self-report their beliefs, opinions, or feelings. This approach has limitations, however, when measuring socially sensitive attitudes, like racial prejudice, because people are often motivated to self-report unprejudiced, egalitarian beliefs (despite...

FAQs
They can capture two influences on a response: a relationship shaped by prior experience and a relationship inferred through conscious evaluation of the propositions. Comparing judgments across different paired statements or cues helps researchers consider whether participants are relying mainly on an established association, an interpreted connection, or an interaction between both processes.
Strength indicates how strongly a participant connects the paired propositions, whereas direction indicates whether the relationship is viewed as supporting, opposing, or otherwise oriented between them. These dimensions provide more information than a simple relatedness decision, allowing researchers to examine how people organize information and form conclusions with differing levels of confidence or emphasis.
Experience may make certain propositions or cues feel connected before extensive reflection occurs. Conscious evaluation can then reinforce, modify, or challenge that initial response by considering the meaning of the statements. This distinction is important because a reported judgment may reflect both prior learning and active reasoning rather than a single, purely associative process.
Participants receive pairs of statements, concepts, or cues and assess the relationship they perceive between them. The task records the strength or direction of that relationship, creating a structured response that researchers can compare across different pairings. The resulting pattern provides evidence about how participants interpret and connect the presented information.
The responses can support research on reasoning, memory, belief formation, and decision-making. They may show how people connect information, draw conclusions from propositions, or use previous experience when evaluating a relationship. Because the task focuses on perceived connections, it can also help examine how associative and propositional processes jointly shape predictions and responses.
They are useful when researchers need to examine how people respond to information that requires both learned connections and conscious interpretation. By measuring perceived relationships among propositions or events, the method can clarify how participants organize that information before making decisions or predictions. This makes it relevant to psychological studies of belief formation and responses to complex material.
