Abstract

This study was conducted to determine how analytic-holistic thinking style, one of the cultural characteristics, affects intentionality judgment and what role the crime typicality plays in the process. To this end, the psychological mechanism of intentionality judgment was confirmed in cases where the criminal typicality was manipulated by the moral characteristics of the crime perpetrator and victim. As a result, higher the criminal typicality lead to higher intentionality judgement. In addition, it was found that people with relatively holistic thinking style (with high causality and perception of change) judge less of the perpetrator intentionality. In particular, it was confirmed that the analytic-holistic thinking style interacts with criminal typicality and affects the intentionality judgment. Specifically, people with a holistic thinking style (high causality) judged the perpetrator to have high intentionality in typical cases, but judged in a reverse way in atypical cases. It means that, holistic thinkers, compared to analytic thinkers, strongly judge intentionality based on criminal typicality considering the moral characteristics of not only the perpetrators but also the victims. Along with the significance of this study, the relationships among analytic-holistic thinking style, criminal typicality and intentionality judgment were discussed.

본 연구는 문화적 특성 중 하나인 분석적-종합적 사고 양식이 고의성 판단에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지, 그 과정에서 범죄 사건의 전형성이 어떠한 역할을 하는지 확인하기 위해 수행되었다. 이를 위해, 사건 가해자 및 피해자의 도덕적 특성을 바탕으로 범죄의 전형성을 다르게 조작한 사건에서 고의성 판단의 심리적 기제를 확인하였다. 연구 결과, 사람들은 범죄 사건의 전형성이 높을수록 고의성을 높게 판단하였다. 또한, 상대적으로 종합적 사고 양식을 보이는(그리고 인과성과 변화 인식이 높은) 사람들은 사건 가해자의 고의성을 낮게 판단하는 것으로 나타났다. 특히, 분석적-종합적 사고 양식은 범죄의 전형성과 상호작용하여 고의성 판단에 영향을 미친다는 것을 확인하였다. 구체적으로 종합적 사고를 하는(그리고 인과성이 높은) 사람들은 전형적인 사건에서는 가해자의 고의성을 높게 판단한 반면, 비전형적인 사건에서는 고의성을 낮게 판단하였다. 이 결과는 분석적 사고에 비해 종합적 사고를 하는 사람들이 가해자뿐만 아니라 피해자의 도덕적 특성을 고려한 범죄 전형성에 근거한 고의성 판단을 더 강하게 한다는 것을 의미한다. 본 연구의 의의와 함께 분석적-종합적 사고 양식과 범죄 전형성 및 고의성 판단과의 관계에 대해 논의하였다.
