ABSTRACT
In both elds, much of the focus has been on the extent to which people possess certain traits. Less of a focus, but still of signi cant importance, is whether work in this area bears on issues of free will and moral responsibility. A small but growing literature in philosophy has carefully examined this question (Doris 2002, 2009; Nelkin 2005; Doris and Murphy 2007; Nahmias 2007; Talbert 2009; Mele and Shepherd 2013; Brink 2013; Vargas 2013). In this chapter, I brie y review the situationist movement in both psychology and philosophy before turning to some of the main connections that have been drawn to the topic of this companion.
