Personal ethical settings for driverless cars and the utility paradox: An ethical analysis of public attitudes in UK and Japan
3.3 The influence of mandatory ethical settings on willingness to purchase As a baseline question, we asked participants how likely it is that they would purchase a driverless car in ten years’ time (if their current car needed replacing) without specifying any safety programming. In the UK, the median response on the 1 (not at all likely) to extremely likely (7) scale was 5, with a Mean of 5.13 (SE = .119). In Japan, the median response was 6, with a Mean of 5.66 (SE = .068).

Confirmation bias in the utilization of others’ opinion strength
Abstract Humans tend to discount information that undermines past choices and judgments. This confirmation bias has significant impact on domains ranging from politics to science and education. Little is known about the mechanisms underlying this fundamental characteristic of belief formation. Here we report a mechanism underlying the confirmation bias.
How We Discovered That It Is Possible To Feel Optimism For Others
The more you like someone, the more optimistic you are for them. Look Studio / Shuterstock As any good storyteller knows, people have a lot of faith in fictional heroes and their ability to beat all odds. In fact, without this enthusiastic trust in characters, popular stories such as Star Wars, Cinderella or Slumdog Millionaire simply wouldn’t work. But what’s the mechanism behind this powerful belief in others?
The psychology of pandemics
Many of the most serious global threats today involve a high degree of uncertainty: will the next flu outbreak turn into a pandemic? By how many degrees will global temperatures increase this century? Limiting the damage of such threats hinges on human choices, like the decision to get vaccinated or cut back on energy use. But we humans are famously bad at making decisions in already uncertain conditions.

In fact, without this enthusiastic trust in characters, popular stories such as Star Wars, Cinderella or Slumdog Millionaire simply wouldn’t work. But what’s the mechanism behind this powerful belief in others? When I started thinking about this, my hunch was that it could be a type of “vicarious optimism” that we feel for other people.
