Deviant siblings have been considered as role models for future delinquent behavior; however, previous studies have led to inconsistent results in this regard. The goal of the current meta-analysis was to analyze the effect of deviant non-twin siblings on future delinquency. The potential moderation effects of birth order, sex dyad, age of siblings, publication year, study length, and sample size were

Beyond Demographics: Attitudinal Barriers to the Mental Health Service Use of Immigrants in the U.S. Current Opinion in Psychology (IF 6.813) Pub Date : 2022-08-05 Thania Galvan, Mayra Lomeli-Garcia, Dominique L. La Barrie, Violeta J. Rodriguez, Oswaldo Moreno
Immigrants are at greater risk for mental health concerns but are less likely to use mental health services than their U.S.-born counterparts. Efforts to understand these disparities have focused on demographic characteristics while largely ignoring the role of immigrants’ beliefs and values. This review synthesizes the research on the mental health-related beliefs and values associated with the mental

Overcoming listener skepticism: Costly signaling in communication increases perceived honesty Current Opinion in Psychology (IF 6.813) Pub Date : 2022-08-05 Shereen J. Chaudhry, Kristina Wald
When conversing with skeptical listeners, honest speakers face the challenge of proving the credibility of their message. What can speakers do? We argue that incurring a cost—in terms of time, effort, emotion, reputation, etc.—to send a message can be a convincing signal of honesty to the listener. We highlight three qualities of signals that can make them costly for different reasons: difficult-to-fake

Xenophobia and Discrimination: Consequences for Latinx Immigrants and Pathways to Restoration & Healing Current Opinion in Psychology (IF 6.813) Pub Date : 2022-08-05 Marit D. Murry, Rebecca Mendoza Nunziato, Ebony L. McQueen, Melissa W. Bartholomew, Amy K. Marks
The United States is often conceptualized as a country of immigrants, with an origin story of multicultural, multilingual, diverse foreign-born populations coming together to create the fabric of the nation. This narrative emerges through many domains of American society, frequently depicting an image of opportunity for all. Yet historically and contemporarily, immigration has been racialized and wrought

Why is exposure to opposing views aversive? Reconciling three theoretical perspectives Current Opinion in Psychology (IF 6.813) Pub Date : 2022-08-04 Julia A. Minson, Charles A. Dorison
To form truthful beliefs, individuals must expose themselves to varied viewpoints. And yet, people routinely avoid information that contradicts their prior beliefs—a tendency termed “selective exposure.” Why? Prior research theorizes that that exposure to opposing views triggers negative emotions; in turn, people avoid doing so. Here, we argue that understanding why individuals find simple exposure

Comparing revised latent state–trait models including autoregressive effects. Psychological Methods (IF 10.929) Pub Date : 2022-08-04 Nele Stadtbaeumer, Stefanie Kreissl, Axel Mayer
Understanding the longitudinal dynamics of behavior, their stability and change over time, are of great interest in the social and behavioral sciences. Researchers investigate the degree to which an observed measure reflects stable components of the construct, situational fluctuations, method effects, or just random measurement error. An important question in such models is whether autoregressive effects

Perceptual dehumanization theory: A critique. Psychological Review (IF 8.247) Pub Date : 2022-07-28 Harriet Over, Richard Cook
Central to perceptual dehumanization theory (PDT) is the claim that full engagement of a putative module for the visual analysis of faces is necessary in order to recognize the humanity or personhood of observed individuals. According to this view, the faces of outgroup members do not engage domain-specific face processing fully or typically and are instead processed in a manner akin to how the brain

A unified theory of discrete and continuous responding. Psychological Review (IF 8.247) Pub Date : 2022-07-21 Peter D. Kvam, A. A. J. Marley, Andrew Heathcote
Understanding the cognitive processes underlying choice requires theories that can disentangle the representation of stimuli from the processes that map these representations onto observed responses. We develop a dynamic theory of how stimuli are mapped onto discrete (choice) and onto continuous response scales. It proposes that the mapping from a stimulus to an internal representation and then to
