Item type:Publication, Culture moderates the relationship between self-control ability and free will beliefs in childhood(Elsevier, 2021-05-01)We investigate individual, developmental, and cultural differences in self-control in relation to children's changing belief in “free will” – the possibility of acting against and inhibiting strong desires. In three studies, 4- to 8-year-olds in the U.S., China, Singapore, and Peru (N = 441) answered questions to gauge their belief in free will and completed a series of self-control and inhibitory control tasks. Children across all four cultures showed predictable age-related improvements in self-control, as well as changes in their free will beliefs. Cultural context played a role in the timing of these emerging free will beliefs: Singaporean and Peruvian children's beliefs changed at later ages than Chinese and U.S. children. Critically, culture moderated the link between self-control abilities and free will beliefs: Individual differences in self-control behaviors were linked to individual differences in free will beliefs in U.S. children, but not in children from China, Singapore or Peru. There was also evidence of a causal influence of self-control performance on free will beliefs in our U.S. sample. In Study 2, a randomly assigned group of U.S. 4- and 5-year-olds who failed at two self-control tasks showed reduced belief in free will, but a group of children who completed free will questions first did not show changes to self-control. Together these results suggest that culturally-acquired causal-explanatory frameworks for action, along with observations of one's own abilities, might influence children's emerging understanding of free will. - Some of the metrics are blocked by yourconsent settings
Item type:Publication, La libertad ingenua: contra el perspectivismo compatibilista de Spinoza y Dennett(Universidad Femenina del Sagrado Corazón, 2024-01-10)This paper criticizes a kind of compatibilism: the perspectivism, which can be tracked fromBaruch Spinoza –controversially in his case in modernity to Daniel Dennett in now days. This compatibilism states reality can be expressed or read from several perspectives, which do not cancel each other, but coexist. From one of those perspectives, determinism is a logical conclusion. From other perspective, at the same time, freedom exists plausibly. The paper argues that both authors subscribe an ontology a materialism with a unique substance which entails the possibility of a privileged deterministic perspective that invalidates freedom.
