Older adults (75+) tend to judge accidentally harmful acts more severely than younger adults do, and this age‐related difference is in part due to the greater negligence older adults attribute to the accidental harmdoers. Across two studies (N = 254), we find support for this claim and report the novel discovery that older adults’ increased attribution of negligence, in turn, is associated with a higher perceived likelihood that the accident would occur. We propose that, because older adults perceive accidents as more likely than younger adults do, they condemn the agents and their actions more and even infer that the agents’ omission to exercise due care is intentional. These findings refine our understanding of the cognitive processes underpinning moral judgment in older adulthood and highlight the role of subjective probability judgments in negligence attribution.

In fact I explored around Farmer's Markets and I could interview some masters of those. Firstly I had the pleasure to speak to Darcy, who works for Wakarusa Valley Farm. She sells, like a unique product, mushrooms and it is no easy to find these in Kansas. Darcy has a lot work to do, mostly to control the humidity because mushrooms can expire quickly. She is involved in this business because of his father who had practiced this job for a lot of years; but it is not a full-time work because she doesn't earn a lot of money, that's why she also works for a restaurant that allows her to have a better wage. However she likes this part-time job because she can speak with a lot of different people and this is a great satisfaction. Furthermore this kind of job is very important for the community because this occurrence gather every week all near cities. After I had the honor to meet a very kind greengrocer, Jenny who works with his boyfriend Avery, that's why the name of their activity is Avery's produce. She explained me that they sell just organic stuff that they pick by themselves in a land 2 miles away north Lawrence. Avery inherited this business from his father and this is the second generation. For them this is a full-time job because they earn a lot of money but they also work all week. But it doesn't matter because they love it because meet different people and culture and see babies grow up because they often come back. Jenny also told me that she is a rock star; so, during the day she sells vegetables, and during the night she makes the crowd go crazy.
