| Research Abstract |
Under the current attempt of Judicial System Reformation promoted in Japan, the importance of respecting the "sense of ordinary citizens" is often emphasized. In the present study, we aimed to reveal psychological processes underlying the ordinary senses among the non-experts of law, with a special focus on motives to punish a person rather than the act. In a series of experimental studies, we presented illegal acts and examined determinants of punitive judgments and behavior. We also attempted neuro-scientific analyses. The results indicated that retributive and utilitarian motives both likely underlie the tendency to punish on the basis of character factors. A number of implications were provided with regard to further research possibilities.
