The good ship Theseus: The effect of valence on object identity judgments
نویسندگان
چکیده
How do ordinary people decide whether an individual object at t1 is the same individual at t2? We show that valence— people’s value judgments about whether a given trait is good or bad—can influence this decision. This effect is explained by people’s tendency to believe that the underlying essence of an entity is good, and may be part of a far wider phenomenon of how people understand essences in general—be they of humans, categories, or even non-human objects.

By using the convolution formalism which consists of Fermi motion and binding effect, we investigate the deep inelastic electron scattering from A=3 mirror in the deep-valence region. The initial valence quark input is taken from the GRVs (Gluck, Reya and Vogt) fitting procedure and the next-to-leading order QCD evolution on FP2 (x,Q2) which gives very good fit to the available data in the (x,Q...
