Abstract

Previous research suggests that belief in free will correlates with intentionality attribution. However, whether belief in free will is also related to more basic social processes is unknown. Based on evidence that biological motion contains intentionality cues that observers spontaneously extract, we investigate whether people who believe more in free will, or in related constructs, such as dualism and determinism, would be better at picking up such cues and therefore at detecting biological agents hidden in noise, or would be more inclined to detect intentionality cues and therefore to detect biological agents even when there are none. Signal detection theory was used to measure participants’ ability to detect biological motion from scrambled background noise (d′) and their response bias (c) in doing so. In two experiments, we found that belief in determinism and belief in dualism, but not belief in free will, were associated with biological motion perception. However, no causal effect was found when experimentally manipulating free will-related beliefs. In sum, our results show that biological motion perception, a low-level social process, is related to high-level beliefs about dualism and determinism.

1
A correlation of r = 0.13 was used for belief in free will in the power calculation but the actual correlation is r = 0.15. The difference is due to the fact that the initial correlation did not take into account all exclusion criteria.
 
2
While we preregistered to add N = 50 participants when the sample after exclusions dropped below N = 300, we only decided on the last two exclusion criteria later (see Experiment 1 for rationale). Using only the preregistered criteria, the sample after exclusions was N = 300. Hence, we did not test additional participants.
