Is acceptance of new #technology impacted by moral framing or politics?
Acceptance varied between progressives and conservatives, seemingly due to moral "binding" (vs "individualizing") foundations (Study 1). That was somewhat supported by newspaper articles (Study 2) and a follow-up vignette experiment (Study 3).

Another study finds honesty is more than just truthfulness.
Makes sense: you can mislead or even conceal with only true information (e.g., if you do not include *all* the true information).
The final study of this paper confirms: the “communicative elements of honesty [include not just] truthful speech [but] not concealing or misrepresenting”.

Autistic adults weren't more likely to report lying in everyday situations than non-autistic adults (p - 0.259).
Age and theory of mind predicted fewer lies from non-autistic adults, but not autistics adults.
Lie acceptability predicted more lies in both groups.

This belief is correlated with the belief that people are getting more politically liberal and that government regulation is increasing over time

Left-wing and right-wing mothers in want their children to feel empathy towards different groups.
And kids feel empathy inline with these desires.
For example, Jewish-Israeli left-wing mothers want their kids to feel empathy towards Arabs and their kids generally do feel more empathy
