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.

:信仰自由会影响道德判断吗?从理论和经验的角度对这个问题的回答是有争议的。这项研究试图通过分析来自46个国家(n = 65111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上的见解。证实实验结果,自由意志信念预测不道德行为的不容忍,并支持严厉的刑事处罚。此外,自由意志信仰与不道德行为的不容忍之间的联系因国家体制完整性的变化而缓和,后者的定义是国家对问责制,无腐败公共部门的重视程度。自由意志信念预示着制度健全程度中等的国家的居民对不道德行为的不容忍,但对于制度健全程度较低的国家则没有这种相关性。自由意志信念预示了对刑事惩罚的支持,而与国家的体制完整性无关。在有或没有统计控制变量的情况下,机构完整性的不同运作结果均十分可靠。
