Endorsing Help For Others That You Oppose For Yourself: Mind Perception Guides Support For Paternalism
We propose that support for paternalistic aid depends in part on people’s subtle inferences about the mental capacities—self-control and rationality—of those being helped. In five experiments, we manipulate people’s beliefs about their own and others’ mental capacities and demonstrate these beliefs influence endorsement of paternalistic policies.
