Figure 3. Moral judgments of blame and credit serve as inputs for intentionality ascription in both Ascription and Denial.

Moral judgment of blame served as a significant mediator of the relationship between emotional reaction and intentionality in negative conditions (Indirect Effect Estimate (Δβ) = 0.30; 95% confidence interval = [0.18, 0.43]). Moral judgment of credit served as a significant mediator of the relationship between statistical normativity and intentionality in positive conditions (Indirect Effect Estimate (Δβ) = 0.10; 95% confidence interval = [0.05, 0.13]; Supplementary Table 6).
