==Short Definition== | |||
The purpose of Sargent’s work is to test a theoretical model that describes the necessary conditions for explicit principled reasoning. | |||
==Summary Points== | |||
#This research work addresses one question: under what conditions are people’s judgments and decisions organized around the same principles that they consciously endorse? | |||
#The purpose of Sargent’s work is to test a theoretical model that describes the necessary conditions for explicit principled reasoning. | |||
#Sargent proposes a series of experiments to test this model, including two with nationally representative samples. The goal is to show that when these conditions hold, individuals’ judgments are influenced by considerations relevant to the principles that they endorse, and that their judgments are not influenced by factors irrelevant to those principles. | |||
#two online experiments on explicit principled reasoning have begun. The focus of each study is the application of the principle of deterrence in punitive decision-making. | |||

This research work addresses one question: under what conditions are people’s judgments and decisions organized around the same principles that they consciously endorse? To the extent that existing models of wisdom suggest generally applicable principles of wisdom, this work may help indicate the conditions under which individuals can consciously apply those principles. Preliminary conclusions suggest that it is often difficult to resolve the discrepancies between principles that individuals consciously endorse and the principles they actually apply. Future research will strive to better understand how context can promote principled reasoning, as well as the conditions under which such principled reasoning is adaptive. | This research work addresses one question: under what conditions are people’s judgments and decisions organized around the same principles that they consciously endorse?
