Announcement Theme: Cross-cultural Trolley Papers __________________________________________________ I am looking for papers that investigate cross-cultural differences in responses to trolley problems, i.e., empirical experiments that compare the responses of people from different cultures to some of the standard cases. That includes both papers that (a) explicitly compare judgments across cultures on a single scenario, or (b) look for differences in choices between two standard trolley scenarios for a non-WEIRD population. I am interested in both published and unpublished studies. The full list of papers I have found so far is below. If you know of anything that is not listed, would you be able to send it to me? The last two items on my list are things I am having trouble getting hold of/ getting hold of in english (Xiang, 2014, and Yamamoto, & Yuki, 2019). If you have either of them in English and can send them to me, I’d be very grateful. Best, Natalie Gold [email protected] Cross-cultural trolley references Abarbanell, L., & Hauser, M. D. (2010).
