Debiasing Strategies: Indirect and Hybrid Approaches
摘要
While direct strategies seek to reduce biases by reshaping individual traits, indirect approaches target the environment responsible for generating biases. By modifying contextual factors, indirect methods create better conditions for moral evaluation without demanding extensive individual change. This chapter analyzes the strengths and limitations of two such approaches: collective moral reasoning (Sect. 8.2), which promotes intersubjective discussion and the division of cognitive labor, and nudging (Sect. 8.3), which alters choice architecture to influence behavior. It then considers two recent hybrid strategies—nudge plus (Sect. 8.4.1) and boosts (Sect. 8.4.2)—which combine environmental adjustments with individual reflection and competence-building.
