The main conclusion is that the so-called psychological causation constitutes an autonomous legal issue, requiring the application of specific criteria for legal attribution. The case groups analyzed have their own legal contours, distinguishing them from traditional scenarios where a certain behavior causes, according to natural laws, particular damage. In “psychologically mediated causation,” the injury arises indirectly, facilitated by the conduct of a first perpetrator who influences or enables the actions of a second tortfeasor, causing harm to a third party or to themselves. This is evident in the case of digital influencers and public authorities who, through speeches, posts, and behaviors, motivate the actions of others, raising the question of the liability of these individuals for the damages suffered by the victims.

摘要

The main conclusion is that the so-called psychological causation constitutes an autonomous legal issue, requiring the application of specific criteria for legal attribution. The case groups analyzed have their own legal contours, distinguishing them from traditional scenarios where a certain behavior causes, according to natural laws, particular damage. In “psychologically mediated causation,” the injury arises indirectly, facilitated by the conduct of a first perpetrator who influences or enables the actions of a second tortfeasor, causing harm to a third party or to themselves. This is evident in the case of digital influencers and public authorities who, through speeches, posts, and behaviors, motivate the actions of others, raising the question of the liability of these individuals for the damages suffered by the victims.
