On how distance makes it easier to kill (and do other things), with Abe Rutchick People Who Read People: A Behavior and Psychology Podcast

    • Society & Culture

Abe Rutchick talks about his psychology research that showed that killing is easier at a distance, how the experiment was designed, and about antisocial behavior in general being more likely when at a distance. We talk about his research related to how people attribute moral responsibility when it comes to harm inflicted by autonomous self-driving vehicles. And we talk about some studies he worked on that involved poker.
