    "title": "Does the Blame Blocking Effect for Assignments of Punishment Generalize\nto Legal Experts?",
    "subtitle": null,
    "abstract": "The paper investigates the blame blocking effect with respect\nto assignments of punishments and pursues the question of\nwhether the effect generalizes to people with legal education.\nThe blame blocking effect predicts that an agent is punished\nmore severely when an intendedly harmful action does not\nlead to harm, compared to the case in which the harm results\nbut is caused independently of the agent (Cushman, 2008).\nFirstly, we replicate the blame blocking effect for people\nwithout legal education. Secondly, our findings indicate that\nthis effect is not present in people with a sufficient degree of\nlegal training: In contrast to first-year students – who still\nseem to exhibit blame blocking – the effect was not observed\nfor people with more than one year of legal education.",
