Is happiness a morally charged concept? Ceteris paribus, is the saint happier than the sinner? Diverging from the great work by @phillipsjs and @xphilosopher, @DanHaybron and I find that morality plays no role in the concept of happiness. OA in AJP: h1.nu/1r82v

New preprint: We tested 8 open-source LLMs for outcome bias in legal judgment. Unlike humans and older commercial models, they show little to no bias—but differ in baseline severity. Promising for AI-assisted debiasing, with caveats. Link: rb.gy/uyakoj

In one condition, we asked whether the speaker lied, in another whether what s/he said was true or false. Although DIs are borderline cases (true on the explicit level, false on the implicit level), we found a high degree of similarity between the ten countries.

Moreover, lie and falsity attributions correlated strongly in our between-subjects design. In a follow-up experiment (in only three countries), we found this strong correlation also with a within-subject design design. Preprint: osf.io/preprints/psyarxiv/gd…
