Description:
Participants compared the mental capacities of various human and nonhuman characters via online surveys. Factor analysis revealed two dimensions of mind perception, Experience (for example, capacity for hunger) and Agency (for example, capacity for self-control). The dimensions predicted different moral judgments but were both related to valuing of mind.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Gray, Heather M -- Gray, Kurt -- Wegner, Daniel M -- MH-49127/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- MH-71053/MH/NIMH NIH HHS/ -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2007 Feb 2;315(5812):619.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Psychology, Harvard University, 33 Kirkland Street, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA. hgray@wjh.harvard.edu〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17272713" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
