Sytsma on the folk theory of consciousness

Are people naive realists about colors? About pains? Do people think one can have pains without being aware of them? Do people conceive of their own subjective experiences as being phenomenal? And if not, how do they conceive of them? Are people disposed to ascribe experiences to group agents? In brief, what is the folk theory of consciousness?
Justin Sytsma reviews the literature in "Folk Psychology and Phenomenal Consciousness" just published in Philosophy Compass.
