My Heart Made Me Do It: Children’s Essentialist Beliefs About Heart Transplants
Meyer, Meredith; Gelman, Susan A.; Roberts, Steven O.; Leslie, Sarah‐jane. - : Oxford University Press, 2017. : Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2017
Abstract: Psychological essentialism is a folk theory characterized by the belief that a causal internal essence or force gives rise to the common outward behaviors or attributes of a category’s members. In two studies, we investigated whether 4â to 7â yearâ old children evidenced essentialist reasoning about heart transplants by asking them to predict whether trading hearts with an individual would cause them to take on the donor’s attributes. Control conditions asked children to consider the effects of trading money with an individual. Results indicated that children reasoned according to essentialism, predicting more transfer of attributes in the transplant condition versus the nonâ bodily money control. Children also endorsed essentialist transfer of attributes even when they did not believe that a transplant would change the recipient’s category membership (e.g., endorsing the idea that a recipient of a pig’s heart would act pigâ like, but denying that the recipient would become a pig). This finding runs counter to predictions from a strong interpretation of the â minimalistâ position, an alternative to essentialism. ; Peer Reviewed ; https://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/138236/1/cogs12431_am.pdf ; https://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/138236/2/cogs12431.pdf
