Note-- this updated preregistration clarifies the previous preregistration, with changes in wording to the hypothesis and exploratory analysis, but no change in the substance. Prior work has demonstrated that people view stealing as morally wrong but that some people support redistribution of wealth to those in need (e.g., taxes). The current work aims to address which factors predict and modulate people’s judgments of taking an individual’s resources to redistribute to others. Furthermore, it builds on social domain theory to delineate how judgments about redistribution are guided by moral or social-conventional concerns. Specifically, we systematically vary how much recipients need, how much owners are left with, and who is doing the redistributing and ask to what extent the act was okay, considered stealing, and whether rules about taking property are alterable. Hence, our study has a 2 (Need of recipient: present or absent) x 2 (Authority of those who take the property: present/town leaders or absent/individual) x 3 (Resources remaining for property owners: not enough/harmful to owners, enough, surplus) factorial design. We also examine the role of political ideology in predicting participants’ ratings.
