  • Descrição: •There is an attribution asymmetry in explanations for harmful and impure acts.•Impure versus harmful acts of others are explained using person-based attributions.•The asymmetry not explained by differences in wrongness or statistical frequency.•The asymmetry is explained by differences in the abnormality of acts.•The asymmetry remains even when the situational causes of impure acts are stipulated. People make inferences about the actions of others, assessing whether an act is best explained by person-based versus situation-based accounts. Here we examine people’s explanations for norm violations in different domains: harmful acts (e.g., assault) and impure acts (e.g., incest). Across four studies, we find evidence for an attribution asymmetry: people endorse more person-based attributions for impure versus harmful acts. This attribution asymmetry is partly explained by the abnormality of impure versus harmful acts, but not by differences in the moral wrongness or the statistical frequency of these acts. Finally, this asymmetry persists even when the situational factors that lead an agent to act impurely are stipulated. These results suggest that, relative to harmful acts, impure acts are linked to person-based attributions.
