In previous studies, we have investigated the factors that drive people’s responsibility judgments to willfully ignorant agents who cause harm. In this study, we examine whether agents who remain ignorant with the intent to remain unbiased in their decision-making receive more responsibility for a positive outcome than agents who did not do so. More precisely, we will investigate cases in which an agent remains willfully ignorant to remain unbiased in their choice of a candidate for an international music competition. Just judging on the candidates’ musical quality but intentionally not knowing their identity, the agent unknowingly ends up choosing a candidate they have family or romantic ties with. That candidate then ends up winning the music competition. We are interested in people’s responsibility judgments in such a case, and how these compare to a case in which the agent had no choice of knowing the candidates’ identity, or a case in which the agent knowingly chooses their partner/relative.},
