From [1]The Economist:
If someone accidentally steps on your toe, it hurts. But does it
hurt more if you think he did it deliberately? That, in essence, is
the question Kurt Gray and Daniel Wegner of Harvard University
asked in a study they have just published in Psychological Science.
And their answer is that it probably does.
A version of the paper is available [2]here.
