Most existing research focuses on judgments of who or what caused inequality to exist. Far less examines how people decide who can or should help reduce it going forward.

We use this framework to organize existing findings, identify gaps, and provide guidance for future research.

I am thrilled to announce that this framework is out!

Who is responsible for inequality?

@tanialombrozo.bsky.social and I show that answers depend on whether people are judging causes or obligations, and the past vs the future.

🎊 New preprint 🎊 w/ Tania Lombrozo

Why do people engage in collective actions, even when they believe their actions won't make a difference?

Based on evidence from the 2024 election and a hypothetical election, we find that *moral* responsibility, not causal, drives voting
