Interactive figures from the paper — verdict shifts by treatment, certainty distributions, and the deliberation patterns behind each move.
Moral norms evolve as people engage with one another and respond to social cues. In digital environments, individuals routinely encounter aggregated opinions that summarize the views of thousands of others. We identify two epistemic dimensions of aggregated opinion — the degree of disagreement (controversy) and the level of expressed group certainty — and show, through a randomized experiment built on real moral dilemmas, that people respond not only to majority size but to how certain or hesitant opposing groups appear.
