Senso di responsabilità: quando l’azione si fa coscienza: JUNIOR SYMPOSIUM
- Marika Mariano (Università degli studi di Milano-Bicocca)
Il senso di responsabilità è un costrutto fondamentale nella vita individuale e sociale, che implica la capacità di monitorare, valutare e giustificare le proprie azioni e le loro conseguenze. In questo simposio vengono presentati approcci e risultati che affrontano il tema della responsabilità da una prospettiva multilivello, esplorando i processi sensori-motori, cognitivi e morali che lo...
The studies presented investigate how physiological and pathological fatigue interact with predictive motor mechanisms underpinning the sense of agency (SoA)—the feeling of controlling one’s actions and their consequences (1). A key aspect of these predictive processes is sensory attenuation (SA), the reduced perception of self-generated stimuli, which serves to distinguish between self- and...
Sense of agency (SoA), namely the feeling of being the author of our actions is a presequite for experience responsibility. In four studies, I applied different experimental manipulations to investigate the influence of different sensorimotor and cognitive cues on the experience of agency. To do so, I took advantage of a validated temporal judgment task (Zapparoli 2020a, 2020b), whereby...
This contribution explores how the social dimension of the Sense of Agency—specifically the shared Sense of Agency (s-SoA)—influences moral behavior and intergroup decision-making. Through two experimental studies, I examined how interpersonal coordination shapes the experience of agency and responsibility, and how these processes, in turn, affect conformity to immoral actions and intergroup...
The studies presented examine how changes in bodily representation and identity-related features can influence self-perception and moral standards. The embodiment illusion—the sensation of owning and controlling a virtual avatar—typically arises through synchronous body movements, a first-person perspective, and the avatar’s appearance. Modulating these parameters can affect...
