{"pk":28798,"title":"How Many Dimensions of Mind Perception Really Are There?","subtitle":null,"abstract":"Previous research suggests that people’s folk conception of themind is organized along a few fundamental dimensions; butstudies disagree on the exact number of those dimensions. Withan expanded item pool of mental capacities, variations ofquestion probes, and numerous judged agents, four studies pro-vide consistent evidence for three dimensions of perceivedmind: Affect (A), Moral and Mental Regulation (M), and Real-ity Interaction (R). The dimensions are not simply bundles ofsemantically related features but capture psychological func-tions of the mind—to engage with its own processes, with otherminds, and with the social and physical world. Under someconditions, two of the three dimensions further divide: Adivides into negative and positive (social) affect, and M dividesinto moral cognition and social cognition. We offer a 20-iteminstrument to measure people’s 3- and 5-dimensionalrepresentations of human and other minds.","language":"eng","license":{"name":"","short_name":"","text":null,"url":""},"keywords":[{"word":"anthropomorphism; social cognition; theory ofmind; morality; principal component analysis; robots."}],"section":"Papers with Poster Presentations","is_remote":true,"remote_url":"https://escholarship.org/uc/item/3j55p1rz","frozenauthors":[{"first_name":"Bertram","middle_name":"F.","last_name":"Malle","name_suffix":"","institution":"Brown University","department":""}],"date_submitted":null,"date_accepted":null,"date_published":"2019-01-01T18:00:00Z","render_galley":null,"galleys":[{"label":"PDF","type":"pdf","path":"https://journalpub.escholarship.org/cognitivesciencesociety/article/28798/galley/18669/download/"}]}
