How many spurious accounts are you going to register to upvote me?
Usually, I do things like this for 3 karma points but since you look nice, I’ll give it to you for free.
It wasn’t actually Knobe but John Doris, who also works in the so-called experimental philosophy paradigm. The exact reference is:
“From My Lai to Abu Ghraib: The Moral Psychology of Atrocity.” Midwest Studies in Philosophy XXXI: 25-55
Here is the relevant quotation:
“(i) Passersby who had just found a dime were twenty-two times more likely to
help a woman who had dropped some papers than passersby who did not
find a dime (88% vs. 4%).27
(ii) Passersby not in a hurry were six times more likely to help an unfortunate
who appeared to be in significant distress than were passersby in a hurry
(63% vs. 10%).28
(iii) Passersby were five times more likely to help an apparently injured man
who had dropped some books when ambient noise was at normal levels
than they were when a power lawnmower was running nearby (80% vs.
15%).29
(iv) In Zimbardo’s “Stanford Prison Experiment,” subjects role-playing in a
simulated prison rapidly descended to Lord of the Flies barbarism.30
(v) In Milgram’s “obedience experiments,” subjects participating in a study
purported to test the effects of punishment on learning would repeatedly
punish a screaming “learner” with realistic (but simulated) electric shocks
at the polite request of an experimenter.”
(I can’t use stylistic stuff like linking and quoting… Is there a guide to show how you quote?)
