- Replication and extension of Carlson and Zaki (2018): Do lay theories of altruism apply equally to all actors?, Harrell & Traeger (2026). Outcome recorded: successful.
We replicate Carlson and Zaki's key findings: actors who help are perceived as more altruistic than those who engage in neutral acts, while those who help with self-interested motives are seen as less altruistic than those who do not help at all.
