Resumo

O objetivo deste artigo foi descrever crenças esssencialistas em um experimento no paradigma do transplante de cérebro. Participantes brasileiros (101) e espanhóis (138) foram submetidos a um experimento mental de desenho 2 (país) x 2 (direção do transplante). A análise loglinear não evidenciou um claro efeito principal do país, embora tenha identificado uma interação entre o país e o transplante de cérebro. Posteriormente, as justificativas apresentadas pelos participantes foram analisadas e o que evidenciou que as pressões situacionais foram arroladas para explicar a estabilidade da conduta, enquanto as demais fontes explicativas foram adotadas predominantemente para explicar mudanças no comportamento decorrentes do transplante do cérebro. Implicações são discutidas.
