The previous chapters have operated under the assumption that individuals can reliably predict their collective emotions, such as guilt, and the resulting behavioral reactions. However, how accurate and how stable are these predictions over time? This chapter investigates the extent to which individuals can foresee their emotional and behavioral responses to collective wrongdoing in comparison to when they are in the actual situation. It also raises the question whether these predictions can guide us toward more moral behavior.

Predicting Collective Guilt and Behavioral Reactions

  • Fabian Bernhard

摘要

The previous chapters have operated under the assumption that individuals can reliably predict their collective emotions, such as guilt, and the resulting behavioral reactions. However, how accurate and how stable are these predictions over time? This chapter investigates the extent to which individuals can foresee their emotional and behavioral responses to collective wrongdoing in comparison to when they are in the actual situation. It also raises the question whether these predictions can guide us toward more moral behavior.
