The concept of an ability to make choices and to determine one’s own outcomes fits well with experiences that most people have, and these experiences form the basis for beliefs in free will. However, the existence of conscious free will is challenged by modern research findings highlighting the unconscious origins of goal-directed behavior that gives rise to free-will beliefs. This report expands on these insights by revealing that both conscious and unconscious processes play an important role…

Priming determinist beliefs diminishes implicit (but not explicit) components of self-agency
TLDR
It is suggested that free will beliefs have a causal impact on the pre-reflective feeling of being in control of one’s actions, and solidify previous proposals that implicit and explicit agency components tap into distinct facets of action awareness.
Making sense of agency: Belief in free will as a unique and important construct
Belief in free will is the general belief that human behavior is free from internal and external constraints across situations for both self and others. In the last decade, scholars in…
Disassociating the Agent From the Self
Undermining the belief in free will influences thoughts and behavior, yet little research has explored its implications for the self and identity. The current studies examined whether lowering free…
The Influence of (Dis)belief in Free Will on Immoral Behavior
TLDR
The results show that participants who were primed with a text defending neural determinism – the idea that humans are a mere bunch of neurons guided by their biology – administered fewer shocks and were less vindictive toward the other participant, and this finding only held for female participants, showing the complex interaction between gender, beliefs in free will and moral behavior.
Sense of Agency and the Exhibition of Prosocial Behaviors
The concept of human agency refers to whether or not free will exists. Over the course of history, several philosophers and psychologists have debated this particular topic. As a result, three…

Causes and Consequences of the Belief in Free Will
While the question of whether free will exists or not has been debated for centuries, recently researchers have started to investigate the reasons for and consequences of a belief in free will. The…
The Role of Intentional Strength in Shaping the Sense of Agency
TLDR
The results established that stronger intentions increase intentional binding, and the magnitude of the binding effect, as assessed by the Libet clock task, was elevated for the action that was enacted with stronger intentions.

“The Mind Is Willing, but the Flesh Is Weak”
TLDR
It was theorized that holding dualistic beliefs leads people to perceive their body as a mere “shell” and, thus, to neglect it, and results showed that participants who were primed with dualism reported less engagement in healthy behaviors and less positive attitudes toward such behaviors than did participants primed with physicalism.

The Value of Believing in Free Will
TLDR
The study of whether inducing participants to believe that human behavior is predetermined would encourage cheating suggests that the debate over free will has societal, as well as scientific and theoretical, implications.
Priming and authorship ascription: when nonconscious goals turn into conscious experiences of self-agency.
TLDR
These studies show how the mechanisms underlying nonconscious goal pursuit promote experiences of self-agency, thus integrating 2 lines of research that so far have led separate lives.
7 Free Will Is Un-natural
TLDR
One goal for the present chapter is to help bring psychology more in line with the rest of the natural sciences, in which complex and highly intelligent design in living things is not assumed to be driven by conscious, intentional processes on the part of the plant or animal, but instead by “blind” natural selection processes.
Cultural and Universal Routes to Authorship Ascription: Effects of Outcome Priming on Experienced Self-Agency in the Netherlands and Japan
The experience of self-agency is a fundamental feature of human experience. Recent research has suggested that self-agency experiences are driven by an unconscious authorship ascription process that…

TLDR
A set of findings are reviewed that point toward the possibility that goals may, in fact, also be vulnerable to manipulation via avenues of which the authors remain blissfully unaware.
