Abstract:

This study aims to investigate the role and mechanism of blame motivation in the intent-magnifies-harm effect, and to draw on animal models to further explore methods for measuring blame motivation and its intensity. Experiment 1 showed that blame motivation plays a mediating role in the intent amplifying harmful effects, and moral judgment and blame motivation plays a chain intermediary role in the intent amplifying harmful effects. Experiment 2 showed that compared to unintentional harm, the blame motivation induced by intentional harm is stronger and longer-lasting , which follows the inverted U-shaped curve of motivation. The research indicates that the presence of blame motivation leads people to amplify the results of harm when encountering it, and also reveals that intent affects the moral judgments of perceivers regarding harmful behavior. Moral judgment triggers blame motivation, which plays a crucial role in the cognitive process of intent amplifying harmful effects. In addition, intentional harm triggers more intense blame motivation. By adapting the animal model experiment task, this study fills the gap in previous research on the intensity and trend of blame motivation induced by intent.
