Paternalism with hindsight: do protégés react consequentialistically to Paternalism?
Social Choice and Welfare, 2014Co-Authors: Mitesh Kataria, M. Vittoria Levati, Matthias UhlAbstract:We investigate experimentally whether the proteges’ reaction to Paternalism depends on the consequences of the paternalistic action to their well-being. Thus, our research is concerned with the perception of Paternalism by those who are directly affected by it, rather than with the justifiability of Paternalism from an ethical perspective. We find that the proteges punish a paternalist restricting their freedom of choice. Yet, this negative reaction is not based on principled grounds because, with the wisdom of hindsight, the proteges punish the paternalist only if the restriction makes them worse off. Conversely, if the restriction makes them better off, the proteges on average do not punish and, sometimes, they even reward the paternalist. This suggests that the proteges take predominantly a consequentialist stand on Paternalism. In addition, a regression analysis reveals that our main finding is not altered when we control for the intentions (malevolent vs. benevolent) that the proteges attribute to the paternalist.

Paternalism in agricultural labor contracts in the u s south implications for the growth of the welfare state
The American Economic Review, 1993Co-Authors: Lee J Alston, Joseph P FerrieAbstract:The authors examine Paternalism as an implicit contract in which workers trade faithful service for nonmarket goods. Paternalism reduced monitoring and turnover costs in cotton cultivation in the U.S. South until the mechanization of the cotton harvest in the 1950s. Until then, the effectiveness of Paternalism was threatened by government programs that could have substituted for Paternalism; but large Southern landowners had the political power to prevent the appearance of such programs in the South. With mechanization, the economic incentive to provide Paternalism disappeared and Southern congressmen allowed welfare programs to expand in ways consistent with their interests.

Insidious dangers of benevolent sexism: consequences for women's performance.
Journal of personality and social psychology, 2007Co-Authors: Benoît Dardenne, Muriel Dumont, Thierry BollierAbstract:Four experiments found benevolent sexism to be worse than hostile sexism for women's cognitive performance. Experiments 1-2 showed effects of paternalist benevolent sexism and ruled out explanations of perceived sexism, context pleasantness, and performance motivation. Experiment 3 showed effects of both paternalist and complementary gender differentiation components of benevolent sexism. Benevolent sexism per se (rather than the provision of unsolicited help involved in Paternalism) worsened performance. Experiment 4 showed that impaired performance due to benevolent sexism was fully mediated by the mental intrusions women experienced about their sense of competence. Additionally, Experiment 4 showed that gender identification protected against hostile but not benevolent sexism. Despite the apparently positive and inoffensive tone of benevolent sexism, our research emphasizes its insidious dangers.
