Individual differences, judgment biases, and theory-of-mind: Deconstructing the intentional action side effect asymmetry (2009, background): “This variation has proven robust and is present in different cultures (Knobe & Burra, 2006), ages (Leslie, et al., 2006), and side effect scenarios (Cushman & Mele, 2008; Knobe, 2003a, 2003b, 2004a, 2004b, 2006; Mele & Cushman, 2007; Nichols & Ulatowski, 2007).”

Intentional Action and Intending: Recent Empirical Studies (2005, methodology): “Of those asked whether it was the chair’s intention to harm the environment, a mere 29% said it was; and of those asked the corresponding question about the help vignette, none said it was the chair’s intention to help the environment (Knobe, 2004, p. 185).”
At the Heart of Morality Lies Folk Psychology (2009, background): “However, Knobe’s side-effect findings were surprising for a second reason, namely that people said the CEO intentionally harmed the environment despite lacking an intention to do so (Knobe, 2004; McCann, 2005).”
The Folk Concept of Intentional Action: Philosophical and Experimental Issues (2008, background): “ Adams and Steadman (2004a, 2004b) have argued that the asymmetry found between the two probes in a given pair, for instance between the harm case and the help case, is a pragmatic phenomenon.”
Bad acts, blameworthy agents, and intentional actions: Some problems for juror impartiality (2006, background): “There is growing empirical evidence that people are more likely to judge that a morally negative action or side effect was brought about intentionally than they are to judge that a structurally similar non-moral action or side effect was brought about intentionally (eg, Knobe 2003a , 2003b , 2004”
Are liars ethical? On the tension between benevolence and honesty (2014, background): “When individuals observe an unethical act, they can make either personal or situational attributions for the action (e.g. Knobe, 2004; Young & Saxe, 2008; Yuill & Perner, 1988).”
The folk concepts of intention and intentional action: A cross-cultural study (2006, background): “This hypothesis is at least a reasonable one (though there is some experimental evidence against it; Knobe 2004).”
Intuitions and Individual Differences: The Knobe Effect Revisited (2007, background): “important to judgments of praise and blame ( Knobe forthcoming a). In particular, if we are”
Norms inform mental state ascriptions: A rational explanation for the side-effect effect. (2010, unknown): “The side-effect effect has been replicated with different methodologies (Knobe, 2003a, 2004; Knobe & Mendlow, 2004; Machery, 2008), across cultures (Knobe & Burra, 2006), and with preschool children (Leslie, Knobe, & Cohen, 2006).”
The Pervasive Impact of Moral Judgment (2009, unknown): “Thus, in one recent study (Knobe 2004), subjects were randomly assigned to receive either the help vignette or the harm vignette and then asked:”
Distinguishing the effects of beliefs and preconditions: The folk psychology of goals and actions (2005, background): “Finally , they extend links between concepts of intentional action in folk psychology ( desires , beliefs ) and goal - based explanations ( goals , preconditions ) ( Knobe , 2004 ; Malle , 2001 , 2003 , 2004 ; McClure , 2002 ) .”
Surveying Freedom: Folk Intuitions about free will and moral responsibility (2005, background): “[3] See, for example, Adams and Steadman (2004), Doris and Stich (forthcoming), Knobe (2003a, 2003b, 2004), Mele (2003), Nadelhoffer (2004, 2005), Nahmias, Morris, Nadelhoffer, and Turner (forthcoming), Nichols (2004), Nichols, Weinburg, and Stich (2003), Weinburg, Nichols, and Stich (2001),…”
Including Deontic Reasoning as Fundamental to Theory of Mind (2008, background): “In adults, recent research has shown important influences of moral factors on mental-intentional judgments [Knobe, 2003, 2004].”
The Concept of Intentional Action: A Case Study in the Uses of Folk Psychology (2006, background): “( Knobe 2004 ). Since people regard the harming of the environment as intentional and the helping of the environment as unintentional, they are willing to use the phrase ‘in order”
