Abstract. This study describes two experiments conducted to investigate the modifying effect of trait empathy on attentional processing of emotionally laden (i.e., aggression-related) words in frustrating situations. A dot-probe task was used in the first experiment. The results showed that low-empathy individuals exhibited attentional bias toward aggressive words under both frustrating and nonfrustrating

Authenticity Occurs More Often Than Inauthenticity in Everyday Life Social Psychology (IF 3.444) Pub Date : 2022-03-01 Carolin Huber,Markus Germar,Andreas Mojzisch
Abstract. Researchers have assumed that people generally strive toward authenticity, yet have also argued that authenticity may often be impeded by social constraints. Against this backdrop, it is unclear whether people feel authentic or inauthentic more often in everyday life. To address this question, we examined the retrospective frequency of these feelings. As researchers have conceptualized authenticity

Abstract. We aimed to determine (1) the attributes of multiple stigmatized populations, (2) whether Kurzban and Leary’s (2001) functional typology of stigma emerges and identifies the dimensions upon which each stigma type differs, and (3) the emotional responses toward emergent stigma types. Participants ( N = 2,674) were assigned to 1/52 stigma target conditions and their attitudes surveyed. Data

Deontological and Utilitarian Responses to Sacrificial Dilemmas Predict Disapproval of Sin Stocks Social Psychology (IF 3.444) Pub Date : 2022-03-01 Paweł Niszczota,Michał Białek,Paul Conway
Abstract. Investors sometimes invest in the so-called “sin” stocks that cause social harm as a by-product of doing business (e.g., tobacco companies). Three studies examined whether people who reject harm and maximize outcomes in sacrificial dilemmas approve less of investing in sin (but not conventional) stocks. We employed process dissociation to assess harm-rejection (deontological) and outcome-maximization

Cues of Collective Threat Increase Salience of Positive Ingroup Agency-Related Traits Social Psychology (IF 3.444) Pub Date : 2022-03-01 Wiktor Soral,Mirosław Kofta
Abstract. Three studies investigated the influence of collective threat on the importance of agency- and communion-related traits used in ingroup perception. Study 1 ( N = 137) investigated how cues of such threat affect reaction times when individuals are asked to ascribe agentic or communal traits to their ingroup. Study 2 ( N = 96) and Study 3 ( N = 337) examined the role of social identification

Face Masks Impair Basic Emotion Recognition Social Psychology (IF 3.444) Pub Date : 2022-02-21 Sarah D. McCrackin,Francesca Capozzi,Florence Mayrand,Jelena Ristic
Abstract. With the widespread adoption of masks, there is a need for understanding how facial obstruction affects emotion recognition. We asked 120 participants to identify emotions from faces with and without masks. We also examined if recognition performance was related to autistic traits and personality. Masks impacted recognition of expressions with diagnostic lower face features the most and those

Members of Transgressor Groups Prefer Reparations to Come From Third Parties Social Psychology (IF 3.444) Pub Date : 2022-01-01 Maciej Sekerdej,Roger Giner-Sorolla
Abstract. Interpersonal research has shown that guilt motivates perpetrators to compensate victims at the expense of a third party, indicating that the emotion’s goal involves reparative outcomes rather than self-mortification. However, this motivation has yet to be tested in an intergroup context. Based on findings about ingroup wrongdoing, compensation was expected to draw primarily on shame rather

Not Getting What You Want Social Psychology (IF 3.444) Pub Date : 2022-01-01 Martin H. Jones,Toby J. Cooke,Jennifer Symonds
Abstract. As adolescents desire the benefits of having greater social status, some teenagers cannot acquire their desired level of popularity. The current study uses a single high school to examine how the discrepancy between popularity goals and actual popularity aligns with aggression and prosocial behaviors. The current study suggests that the discrepancy between popularity and popularity goals

When You Are Wrong on Facebook, Just Admit It Social Psychology (IF 3.444) Pub Date : 2022-01-01 Adam K. Fetterman,Nicole L. Muscanell,Dongjie Wu,Kai Sassenberg
Abstract. Intellectually humble behavior, like admitting when you are wrong, leads to better impression formation. However, online social networks (OSNs) have changed the impression formation process. We investigated the impact of wrongness admission on impression formation during an OSN argument. In four experiments ( N = 679), participants witnessed a user engage in wrongness admission, refuse to

Forbid/Allow Asymmetry in Persuasion Social Psychology (IF 3.444) Pub Date : 2022-01-01 Paweł Koniak,Wojciech Cwalina
Abstract. Previous research showed that responses to questions about forbidding something differed from those to the seemingly equivalent questions about allowing the same object (forbid/allow asymmetry). We postulate that the effect of the forbid vs. allow framing may be also consequential for the processing of attitude related information and attitude change. The forbid frame (compared with the allow

Need for Closure, Morality, and Prejudice Social Psychology (IF 3.444) Pub Date : 2021-11-01 Annalisa Theodorou,Ankica Kosic
Abstract. Several studies demonstrated that a high need for closure (NFC) is associated with higher prejudice toward the out-group. This study aims to investigate how this effect can be moderated by attributions of morality to the in-group and the out-group. A questionnaire was administered to 725 participants. The results showed a positive relationship between NFC and prejudice when the in-group was

Mere Ownership Effect Is Equally Pronounced in Material and Immaterial Objects Social Psychology (IF 3.444) Pub Date : 2021-11-01 Michal M. Stefanczyk,Marta Rokosz,Michał Białek
Abstract. The mere ownership effect is an increase in the subjective value of owned objects compared to identical but non-owned objects. We tested whether the effect differs in magnitude between material and immaterial objects (e.g., information). Three hundred participants played an incentivized detective game in which they had to connect clues to identify a murderer. Their task was to evaluate the

Abstract. Although offering gifts to encourage prosocial behaviors is a popular daily strategy, its underlying mechanism remains unknown. This study investigated the effect of thank-you gifts on charitable giving in laypeople’s beliefs ( N = 1,293). Study 1 showed that laypeople believe thank-you gifts increase charitable giving. Study 2 found that laypeople believe thank-you gifts increase both charitable

Intersected Groups and Discriminatory Everyday Behavior Social Psychology (IF 3.444) Pub Date : 2021-11-01 Jens Agerström,Magnus Carlsson,Andrea Strinić
Abstract. De-racialization research suggests that depicting members of ethnic minority groups as gay leads to less stereotypic perceptions of their ethnic group. However, whether the consequences of de-racialization translate into real-world behavior is unclear. In a large “lost letter” field experiment ( N = 6,654) where an email was ostensibly sent to the wrong recipient by mistake, we investigate

Ambivalence and Self-Reported Adherence to Recommendations to Reduce the Spread of COVID-19 Social Psychology (IF 3.444) Pub Date : 2021-11-01 Iris K. Schneider,Angela R. Dorrough,Celine Frank
Abstract. Governments worldwide still, to some extent, rely on behavioral recommendations to reduce the spread of COVID-19. We examine the role of ambivalence toward both the specific recommendations (micro-ambivalence) and the pandemic as a whole (macro-ambivalence) about compliance. We predict that micro ambivalence relates negatively, whereas macro ambivalence relates positively to self-reported

Constructing the Facets of Altruistic Behaviors (FAB) Scale Social Psychology (IF 3.444) Pub Date : 2021-09-01 Sabine Windmann,Lucie Binder,Martin Schultze
Abstract. Behavior is effectively altruistic to the degree that it is costly for the actor while benefiting others. In a series of preregistered studies, we constructed a 15-item self-report scale assessing three different facets of altruistic behavioral traits: help-giving, moral courage, and peer punishment. Item selection was performed with the help of Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) procedures as

(How Much) Do Temporal Social Comparisons Matter? Social Psychology (IF 3.444) Pub Date : 2021-09-01 Roman Briker,Frank Walter
Abstract. Moving beyond static perspectives in social comparison theory, Reh and colleagues (2018) provided initial evidence for the relevance of “temporal social comparisons” (i.e., comparing one’s own with others’ past development over time on a salient dimension). Although this research has received wide attention, the study illustrating the authors’ basic rationale (Study 1a) suffered from a small

Abandon Ship or Stay on Board? Social Psychology (IF 3.444) Pub Date : 2021-09-01 Stephanie R. Mallinas,E. Ashby Plant,Jon K. Maner
Abstract. How do people respond when their group’s power is threatened? Four studies suggest that threats to group power lead people to adhere to and invest in their group. When a personally important group’s power was threatened, people psychologically adhered to the group (Studies 1a and 1b). This adherence occurred among people who were high (but not low) in group identification (Study 2). Adherence

Stigmatization of Voluntarily Childfree Women and Men in the UK Social Psychology (IF 3.444) Pub Date : 2021-09-01 Malin Ekelund,Karl Ask
Abstract. People who choose not to have children may face negative social judgment. Using a UK sample, Study 1 ( N = 199) successfully replicated Ashburn-Nardo’s (2017) finding that childfree targets are perceived as less psychologically fulfilled than targets with children. The effect, however, appeared limited to expected decision regret rather than general fulfillment, which was later confirmed

Race and Social Class as Intersecting Social Categories Social Psychology (IF 3.444) Pub Date : 2021-07-01 Samantha L. Moore-Berg,Andrew Karpinski
Abstract. Race and social class are inherently confounded; however, much of the literature focuses on only one of these categories at a time during attitude assessment. Across three studies, we examined the influence of race and social class on implicit and explicit attitudes. Results indicated that participants had more positive attitudes toward high social class White and high social class Black

No Evidence for Social Surrogacy in Fostering Intentions to Follow Social Distancing Guidelines Social Psychology (IF 3.444) Pub Date : 2021-07-01 Donald F. Sacco,Mitch Brown,Alicia L. Macchione,Steven G. Young
Abstract. We tested whether temporary social needs satisfaction through social surrogacy would ensure greater willingness to adhere to social distancing recommendations elicited by the COVID-19 pandemic. Participants were randomly assigned to social exclusion or inclusion via Cyberball ( n = 534) followed by either a social surrogacy manipulation (imagine favorite TV show), or one of two control states

Abstract. Negative affect associated with autobiographical events fades faster over time than positive affect. This Fading Affect Bias (FAB) has been established in the individual and interpersonal domains. Two studies tested the FAB in intergroup relations with Muslims ( N= 76 White British non-Muslim) and opposite gender ( N = 242 women and men) as target outgroups. The results indicated that the

Exploring Negative Beliefs About Power Social Psychology (IF 3.444) Pub Date : 2021-07-01 Tobias Wingen,Simone Dohle
Abstract. “The powerful are immoral”! Across four preregistered studies (total N = 2,744), we explored the role of perceived autonomy (control over own resources) and perceived influence (control over others’ resources) for this belief. In Study 1, perceived autonomy and influence mediated the effect of power on expected immorality. Likewise, directly manipulating perceived autonomy and influence led

Abstract. Stern, West, and Schmitt (2014) reported that liberals display truly false uniqueness in contrast to moderates and conservatives who display truly false consensus. We conducted a close, preregistered replication of Stern et al.’s (2014) research with a large sample ( N = 1,005). Liberals, moderates, and conservatives demonstrated the truly false consensus effect by overestimating ingroup

Interpersonal Closeness Impairs Decision Memory Social Psychology (IF 3.444) Pub Date : 2021-03-01 Pınar Uğurlar,Ann-Christin Posten,Michael Zürn
Abstract. We hypothesized that self-other confusion as a result of interpersonal closeness impairs people’s memory of their own decisions. Four studies (min N = 352) tested whether closeness affects memory in cooperative decisions. Participants played trust games in which they entrusted resources to another person and then had to recall their own decisions. Study 1 showed that people with an independent

Abstract. The present research addresses the unique role of locomotion and assessment regulatory-mode orientations on self-forgiveness, by controlling for personality traits and by excluding possible effects of variables linked to strategies that underestimate one’s culpability. In three studies (Total N = 471) we found that assessment obstructs, while locomotion promotes, self-forgiveness both at

On the Interpersonal Function of Metaphor Use Social Psychology (IF 3.444) Pub Date : 2020-11-18 Adam K. Fetterman,Nicholas D. Evans,Jonathan J. Covarrubias
Abstract. Empathy and perspective taking play important roles in interpersonal functioning. As prior research has linked metaphor use to emotional understanding, it is likely that metaphor use is also involved in empathy and perspective taking. In two daily diary studies ( N = 225; Obs. = 1,849), we predicted that on days in which empathy and perspective taking were high, participants would also report
