The Free-Will Intuitions Scale and the question of natural compatibilism

Abstract: Standard methods in experimental philosophy have sought to measure folk intuitions using experiments, but certain limitations are inherent in experimental methods. Accordingly, we have designed the Free-Will Intuitions Scale to empirically measure folk intuitions relevant to free-will debates using a different method. This method reveals what folk intuitions are like prior to participants' being put in forced-choice experiments. Our results suggest that a central debate in the experimental philosophy of free w… Show more

“…Yet despite this, there is converging evidence that ordinary thinking is at least partly indeterminist (May 2014;Deery et al 2014;Feltz et al 2012;Weigel 2011;Feltz and Cokely 2009). For compatibilists, it is a perplexing question how to explain the source of the widespread folk tendency to believe in indeterminist freedom.…”

“…The purpose of Study 1 was to explicate the relationship between selfhandicapping (Jones & Rhodewalt, 1982) and free will beliefs (Rakos, Laurene, Skala, & Slane, 2008;Paulhus & Carey, 2011;Deery, Davis, & Carey, 2015), as well as related constructs such as beliefs about control (Levenson, 1973;Lefcourt, von Baeyer, Ware, & Cox, 1979), and effort (Schwarzer Bäßler, Kwiatek, Schröder, & Zhang, 1997;McCrea, Hirt, Hendrix, & Milner, 2008). We expected that there would be a positive relationship between free will beliefs, internal locus of control, self-efficacy, and belief in the value of effort, as well as a negative relationship between these constructs and scores on the selfhandicapping scale.…”
