Do free will beliefs influence moral judgments? Answers to this question from theoretical and empirical perspectives are controversial. This study attempted to replicate past research and offer theoretical insights by analyzing World Values Survey data from residents of 46 countries (n = 65,111 persons). Corroborating experimental findings, free will beliefs predicted intolerance of unethical behaviors and support for severe criminal punishment. Further, the link between free will beliefs and intolerance of unethical behavior was moderated by variations in countries' institutional integrity, defined as the degree to which countries had accountable, corruption-free public sectors. Free will beliefs predicted intolerance of unethical behaviors for residents of countries with high and moderate institutional integrity, but this correlation was not seen for countries with low institutional integrity. Free will beliefs predicted support for criminal punishment regardless of countries' institutional integrity. Results were robust across different operationalizations of institutional integrity and with or without statistical control variables.

自由意志信仰会影响道德判断吗?从理论和实证的角度回答这个问题是有争议的。本研究试图通过分析来自46个国家 (n = 65,111人) 的居民的世界价值调查数据来复制过去的研究并提供理论见解。证实了实验结果,自由意志信念预测了对不道德行为的不容忍以及对严厉刑事处罚的支持。此外,自由意志信念与对不道德行为的不容忍之间的联系受到国家机构完整性差异的调节,机构完整性的定义是国家对公共部门负责的程度,无腐败。自由意志信念预测了机构完整性高和中等国家的居民对不道德行为的不容忍,但是对于机构完整性低的国家却没有这种相关性。自由意志信念预测,无论国家的机构完整性如何,都将支持刑事处罚。在机构完整性的不同操作中,无论有无统计控制变量,结果都是稳健的。
