Abstract

People's belief in free will is important in determining the causes and responsibilities of human behavior. Over the past decades, there has been debate about belief in free will in the fields of neuroscience, philosophy, ethics, and criminal law. The Free Will and Determinism Scale (FAD-Plus; Paulhus & Carey, 2011) is a test tool that measures the components related to the belief in an individual's free will. This study conducted a confirmatory factor analysis of 1,000 ordinary people of various age groups and socio-economic backgrounds based on previous studies that conducted an exploratory factor analysis (Study 1). The author has secured the reliability and validity of a number of measures. Furthermore, it was examined how the sub-item of the FAD-Plus scale, 'belief in free will,' was related to correspondence bias and locus of control (Study 2). As a result of analyzing a total of 83 subjects, high belief in free will had a positive correlation with punishment judgment for negative behavior and internal attribution, but there was no significant relationship in reward judgment for positive behavior. Based on the study results, it was proven that the FAD-Plus is valid for the general public as well, and the relationship between belief in free will, attribution bias, locus of control and behavior judgment was examined. The limitations of this study, policy implications, and research directions are discussed.

자유의지에 대한 믿음은 인간 행동의 원인과 행위에 따른 책임을 판단하는데 필요한 개념으로서 신경과학, 철학, 윤리학, 형법 등 다양한 학문 분야에서 자유의지의 개념에 대한 논쟁이 이어지고 있다. 자유의지와 결정론척도((FAD-Plus; Paulhus & Carey, 2011)는 개인의 자유의지에 대한 믿음과 관련된 구성요소를 측정하는 검사도구로, 영미권을 중심으로 개발되어 최근 국내에도 번역 소개되었다. 본 연구는 기존의 탐색적 요인분석을 실시한 선행연구에서 나아가 다양한 연령대와 사회경제적 배경을 가진 1000명의 일반인을 대상으로 확인적 요인분석을 실시하였다(연구 1). 모형의 적합성, 집중타당도, 판별타당도를 통하여 해당 척도의 신뢰성과 타당성을 확보하였다. 이후, FAD-Plus 척도의 하위문항인 '자유의지에 대한 믿음'이 귀인편향 및 통제소재와 어떠한 관계를 보이는지 살펴보았다(연구 2). 총 83명의 피험자들을 대상으로 분석을 실시한 결과 자유의지에 대한 높은 믿음은 부정적 행위에 대한 처벌판단, 내부귀인과 정적인 상관을 보였으나 긍정적 행위에 대한 보상판단에서는 유의한 관계를 보이지 않았다. 이를 통해 기존에 한국판으로 번안된 FAD-Plus 척도가 일반인들을 대상으로도 타당함을 검증하였으며, 자유의지에 대한 믿음, 귀인편향, 통제소재, 행위판단과의 관계를 살펴볼 수 있었다. 본 연구의 한계, 정책적 함의, 그리고 향후 연구 방향에 대해 논의하였다.
