Description

<p>This study investigates how the relationship between an agent and the individual assessing the agent's intentionality influences the perception of side effects in behavior. By employing a minimal group paradigm, we manipulated group identity between participants and agents to examine the impact of group membership on both the side-effect effect and social evaluation of the behavior and agents. These findings confirmed the existence of the side-effect effect. Specifically, when the agent was an ingroup member, the judgment of their intentionality was not influenced by whether the side effect was positive or negative. In cases of positive side effects, both the behavior and the agent were judged more favorably, whereas negative side effects led to more negative evaluations. Notably, a positive side effect was judged as good more frequently when the agent belonged to the same group as the judge. This finding suggests that judgments of intentionality and the evaluation of actions are influenced by group affiliation.</p><p>【Research Impact】</p><p>This study highlights the influence of group affiliation differences between those judging the intentionality of actions and the actors themselves, particularly in the context of children's judgments of behaviors with positive and negative side effects. This approach identifies one of the factors influencing judgments of intentionality, which could be valuable in understanding how people assess intentionality in everyday communication.</p>
