Abstract complessivo di un simposio

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...

687. Predictive Mechanisms in the Experience of Agency: Exploring the Role of Fatigue through Sensory Attenuation

Emanuela Pizzolla (Università di Verona)

9/11/25, 11:10 AM

Talk in simposio

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...

737. The effect of Sensorimotor and Cognitive Cues on the implicit and explicit experience of agency

Talk in simposio

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...

790. The Social Dimension of Agency: How the Shared Sense of Agency shapes Moral and Intergroup Decision-Making

Giulio Piperno (Sapienza Università di Roma)

9/11/25, 11:40 AM

Talk in simposio

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...

730. Embodying a Divine Avatar: Modulating Self-Perception and Moral Judgment in Virtual Reality

Althea Frisanco (Department of Psychology, Sapienza University of Rome and CLN2S@sapienza, Fondazione Istituto Italiano di Tecnologia (IIT), Rome)

9/11/25, 11:55 AM

Talk in simposio

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...
