The Fusion-Secure Base Hypothesis Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2022-06-16 Jack W. Klein, Brock Bastian
Identity fusion is traditionally conceptualized as innately parochial, with fused actors motivated to commit acts of violence on out-groups. However, fusion’s aggressive outcomes are largely conditional on threat perception, with its effect on benign intergroup relationships underexplored. The present article outlines the fusion-secure base hypothesis, which argues that fusion may engender cooperative

Manipulating Belief in Free Will and Its Downstream Consequences: A Meta-Analysis Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2022-06-08 Oliver Genschow, Emiel Cracco, Jana Schneider, John Protzko, David Wisniewski, Marcel Brass, Jonathan W. Schooler
Ever since some scientists and popular media put forward the idea that free will is an illusion, the question has risen what would happen if people stopped believing in free will. Psychological research has investigated this question by testing the consequences of experimentally weakening people’s free will beliefs. The results of these investigations have been mixed, with successful experiments and

The Wisdom Researchers and the Elephant: An Integrative Model of Wise Behavior Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2022-06-02 Judith Glück, Nic M. Weststrate
This article proposes an integrative model of wise behavior in real life. While current research findings depend considerably on how wisdom is conceptualized and measured, there are strong conceptual commonalities across psychological wisdom models. The proposed model integrates the components of several existing models into a dynamic framework explaining wise behavior. The article first specifies

Social Movements as Parsimonious Explanations for Implicit and Explicit Attitude Change Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2022-06-02 Jeremy E. Sawyer, Anup Gampa
Recently, interest in aggregate and population-level implicit and explicit attitudes has opened inquiry into how attitudes relate to sociopolitical phenomenon. This creates an opportunity to examine social movements as dynamic forces with the potential to generate widespread, lasting attitude change. Although collective action remains underexplored as a means of reducing bias, we advance historical

Multiculturalism and Colorblindness as Threats to the Self: A Framework for Understanding Dominant and Non-Dominant Group Members’ Responses to Interethnic Ideologies Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2022-05-27 Kimberly Rios
Both multiculturalism (which involves recognizing and appreciating differences) and racial/ethnic colorblindness (which can involve emphasizing similarities or individual characteristics) are intended to promote intergroup harmony. Nevertheless, these ideologies can backfire when salient. Although this work has sometimes been interpreted to suggest that dominant group members may perceive salient multiculturalism

Value Fulfillment from a Cybernetic Perspective: A New Psychological Theory of Well-Being Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2022-04-20 Colin G. DeYoung, Valerie Tiberius
Value Fulfillment Theory (VFT) is a philosophical theory of well-being. Cybernetic Big Five Theory (CB5T) is a psychological theory of personality. Both start with a conception of the person as a goal-seeking (or value-pursuing) organism, and both take goals and the psychological integration of goals to be key to well-being. By joining VFT and CB5T, we produce a cybernetic value fulfillment theory

Specificity in the Study of Mixed Emotions: A Theoretical Framework Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2022-04-06 Vincent Y.S. Oh, Eddie M.W. Tong
Research on mixed emotions is yet to consider emotion-specificity, the idea that same-valenced emotions have distinctive characteristics and functions. We review two decades of research on mixed emotions, focusing on evidence for the occurrence of mixed emotions and the effects of mixed emotions on downstream outcomes. We then propose a novel theoretical framework of mixed-emotion-specificity with

Beyond Observation: Manipulating Circumstances to Detect Affordances and Infer Traits Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2022-02-28 Cari M. Pick, Steven L. Neuberg
Social perceivers seek to understand the opportunities and threats others potentially afford—for example, whether a teammate will behave tenaciously or a romantic partner, faithfully. We typically detect affordances and draw trait inferences by observing behaviors that reveal or predict others’ likely intentions and characteristics. However, detection and inference from simple observation are often

Agreeableness and Its Consequences: A Quantitative Review of Meta-Analytic Findings Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2022-02-28 Michael P. Wilmot, Deniz S. Ones
Agreeableness impacts people and real-world outcomes. In the most comprehensive quantitative review to date, we summarize results from 142 meta-analyses reporting effects for 275 variables, which represent N > 1.9 million participants from k > 3,900 studies. Arranging variables by their content and type, we use an organizational framework of 16 conceptual categories that presents a detailed account

Emotion Regulation by Psychological Distance and Level of Abstraction: Two Meta-Analyses Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2022-02-01 Tal Moran, Tal Eyal
Self-reflection is suggested to attenuate feelings, yet researchers disagree on whether adopting a distant or near perspective, or processing the experience abstractly or concretely, is more effective. Given the relationship between psychological distance and level of abstraction, we suggest the “construal-matching hypothesis”: Psychological distance and abstraction differently influence emotion intensity

The Next Chapter at PSPR Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2022-01-20 Jonathan M. Adler
Dear Readers, The story of Personality and Social Psychology Review (PSPR) is one of flourishing. In the quarter century since the Executive Committee of the Society for Personality and Social Psychology (SPSP) decided to launch a theory journal as a companion to its first empirical journal, PSPR’s impact has experienced a meteoric rise. For each year in the past decade, PSPR has held the highest impact

Rethinking Social Relationships in Adulthood: The Differential Investment of Resources Model Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2022-01-10 Oliver Huxhold, Katherine L. Fiori, Tim Windsor
Empirical evidence about the development of social relationships across adulthood into late life continues to accumulate, but theoretical development has lagged behind. The Differential Investment of Resources (DIRe) model integrates these empirical advances. The model defines the investment of time and energy into social ties varying in terms of emotional closeness and kinship as the core mechanism

Agency and Identity in the Collective Self Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2021-12-30 Garriy Shteynberg, Jacob B. Hirsh, Jon Garthoff, R. Alexander Bentley
Contemporary research on human sociality is heavily influenced by the social identity approach, positioning social categorization as the primary mechanism governing social life. Building on the distinction between agency and identity in the individual self (“I” vs. “Me”), we emphasize the analogous importance of distinguishing collective agency from collective identity (“We” vs. “Us”). While collective

Receptiveness to Opposing Views: Conceptualization and Integrative Review Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2021-12-29 Julia A. Minson, Frances S. Chen
The present article reviews a growing body of research on receptiveness to opposing views—the willingness to access, consider, and evaluate contradictory opinions in a relatively impartial manner. First, we describe the construct of receptiveness and consider how it can be measured and studied at the individual level. Next, we extend our theorizing to the interpersonal level, arguing that receptiveness

The Dyadic Health Influence Model Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2021-12-07 Chloe O. Huelsnitz, Rachael E. Jones, Jeffry A. Simpson, Keven Joyal-Desmarais, Erin C. Standen, Lisa A. Auster-Gussman, Alexander J. Rothman
Relationship partners affect one another’s health outcomes through their health behaviors, yet how this occurs is not well understood. To fill this gap, we present the Dyadic Health Influence Model (DHIM). The DHIM identifies three routes through which a person (the agent) can impact the health beliefs and behavior of their partner (the target). An agent may (a) model health behaviors and shape the

Sibling Constructs: What Are They, Why Do They Matter, and How Should You Handle Them? Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2021-10-18 Katherine M. Lawson, Richard W. Robins
Researchers often study constructs that are conceptually and/or empirically related, but distinct (i.e., “sibling constructs”). In social-personality psychology, as well as psychology more generally, there is little guidance for how to deal with sibling constructs, which can result in researchers ignoring or mishandling them. In this article, we start by situating sibling constructs in the literature

We’re Not That Choosy: Emerging Evidence of a Progression Bias in Romantic Relationships Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2021-07-10 Samantha Joel, Geoff MacDonald
Dating is widely thought of as a test phase for romantic relationships, during which new romantic partners carefully evaluate each other for long-term fit. However, this cultural narrative assumes that people are well equipped to reject poorly suited partners. In this article, we argue that humans are biased toward pro-relationship decisions—decisions that favor the initiation, advancement, and maintenance

How Do Values Affect Behavior? Let Me Count the Ways Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2021-05-28 Lilach Sagiv, Sonia Roccas
The impact of personal values on preferences, choices, and behaviors has evoked much interest. Relatively little is known, however, about the processes through which values impact behavior. In this conceptual article, we consider both the content and the structural aspects of the relationships between values and behavior. We point to unique features of values that have implications to their relationships

Attention Drifting In and Out: The Boredom Feedback Model Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2021-04-30 Katy Y. Y. Tam, Wijnand A. P. van Tilburg, Christian S. Chan, Eric R. Igou, Hakwan Lau
We synthesize established and emerging research to propose a feedback process model that explicates key antecedents, experiences, and consequences of the emotion boredom. The proposed Boredom Feedback Model posits that the dynamic process of boredom resembles a feedback loop that centers on attention shifts instigated by inadequate attentional engagement. Inadequate attentional engagement is a discrepancy

Downstream Consequences of Post-Transgression Responses: A Motive-Attribution Framework Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2021-04-22 Mario Gollwitzer, Tyler G. Okimoto
Victims commonly respond to experienced wrongdoing by punishing or forgiving the transgressor. While much research has looked at predictors and immediate consequences of these post-transgression responses, comparably less research has addressed the conditions under which punishment or forgiveness have positive or negative downstream consequences on the victim–transgressor relationship. Drawing from

Undermining Your Case to Enhance Your Impact: A Framework for Understanding the Effects of Acts of Receptiveness in Persuasion Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2021-04-03 Mohamed A. Hussein, Zakary L. Tormala
Past research has uncovered actions that would seem to undermine but in fact frequently enhance persuasion. For example, expressing doubt about one’s view or presenting arguments against it would seem to weaken one’s case, but can sometimes promote it. We propose a framework for understanding these findings. We posit that these actions constitute acts of receptiveness—behaviors that signal openness

Evaluating Belief System Networks as a Theory of Political Belief System Dynamics Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2021-03-03 Mark J. Brandt, Willem W. A. Sleegers
A theory of political belief system dynamics should incorporate causal connections between elements of the belief system and the possibility that belief systems are influenced by exogenous factors. These necessary components can be satisfied by conceptualizing an individual’s belief system as a network of causally connected attitudes and identities which, via the interactions between the elements and

Moving Beyond Two Goals: An Integrative Review and Framework for the Study of Multiple Goals Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2021-02-04 Franki Y. H. Kung, Abigail A. Scholer
Historically, the study of multiple goals has focused on the dynamics between two goals as the prototypical example of multiple goals. This focus on dyadic relations means that many issues central to the psychology of more than two goals are still unexplored. We argue that a deeper understanding of multiple-goal issues involves moving beyond two goals. Doing so not only reveals new insights about goal

In Search of the Cognitively Complex Person: Is There a Meaningful Trait Component of Cognitive Complexity? Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2021-01-15 Shailee R. Woodard, Linus Chan, Lucian Gideon Conway, III
Researchers have long assumed that complex thinking is determined by both situational factors and stable, trait-based differences. However, although situational influences on complexity have been discussed at length in the literature, there is still no comprehensive integration of evidence regarding the theorized trait component of cognitive complexity. To fill this gap, we evaluate the degree that

Couple Simulation: A Novel Approach for Evaluating Models of Human Mate Choice Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2021-01-07 Daniel Conroy-Beam
Choosing a mate is perhaps the most important decision a sexually reproducing organism makes in its lifetime. And yet, psychologists lack a precise description of human mate choice, despite sustained attention from several theoretical perspectives. Here, I argue this limited progress owes to the complexity of mate choice and describe a new modeling approach, called “couple simulation,” designed to

What Makes Things Funny? An Integrative Review of the Antecedents of Laughter and Amusement Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2020-12-21 Caleb Warren, Adam Barsky, A. Peter McGraw
Despite the broad importance of humor, psychologists do not agree on the basic elements that cause people to experience laughter, amusement, and the perception that something is funny. There are more than 20 distinct psychological theories that propose appraisals that characterize humor appreciation. Most of these theories leverage a subset of five potential antecedents of humor appreciation: surprise

Loosening the GRIP (Gender Roles Inhibiting Prosociality) to Promote Gender Equality Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2020-12-01 Alyssa Croft, Ciara Atkinson, Gillian Sandstrom, Sheina Orbell, Lara Aknin
Prosociality is an ideal context to begin shifting traditional gender role stereotypes and promoting equality. Men and women both help others frequently, but assistance often follows traditional gender role expectations, which further reinforces restrictive gender stereotypes in other domains. We propose an integrative process model of gender roles inhibiting prosociality (GRIP) to explain why and

Can Expressing Positivity Elicit Support for Negative Events? A Process Model and Review Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2020-10-08 Rebecca M. Walsh, Amanda L. Forest
Garnering support for distressing experiences is highly important, yet notoriously challenging. We examine whether expressing positive thoughts and feelings when seeking support for negative events can help people elicit support, and we present a theoretical process model that explains why it might do so. The model includes three support-eliciting pathways through which expressing positivity could

A Cultural Psychological Model of Cross-National Variation in Gender Gaps in STEM Participation. Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2020-08-13 Nur Soylu Yalcinkaya,Glenn Adams
Gender gaps in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) participation are larger in societies where women have greater freedom of choice. We provide a cultural psychological model to explain this pattern. We consider how individualistic/post-materialistic cultural patterns in WEIRD (Western, Educated, Industrial, Rich, and Democratic) settings foster a self-expressive construction of

A Validity-Based Framework for Understanding Replication in Psychology. Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2020-07-27 Leandre R Fabrigar,Duane T Wegener,Richard E Petty
In recent years, psychology has wrestled with the broader implications of disappointing rates of replication of previously demonstrated effects. This article proposes that many aspects of this pattern of results can be understood within the classic framework of four proposed forms of validity: statistical conclusion validity, internal validity, construct validity, and external validity. The article

Introducing the Sociopolitical Motive × Intergroup Threat Model to Understand How Monoracial Perceivers' Sociopolitical Motives Influence Their Categorization of Multiracial People. Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2020-05-25 Arnold K Ho,Nour S Kteily,Jacqueline M Chen
Researchers have used social dominance, system justification, authoritarianism, and social identity theories to understand how monoracial perceivers' sociopolitical motives influence their categorization of multiracial people. The result has been a growing understanding of how particular sociopolitical motives and contexts affect categorization, without a unifying perspective to integrate these insights

Beyond Allyship: Motivations for Advantaged Group Members to Engage in Action for Disadvantaged Groups. Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2020-05-11 Helena R M Radke,Maja Kutlaca,Birte Siem,Stephen C Wright,Julia C Becker
White Americans who participate in the Black Lives Matter movement, men who attended the Women's March, and people from the Global North who work to reduce poverty in the Global South-advantaged group members (sometimes referred to as allies) often engage in action for disadvantaged groups. Tensions can arise, however, over the inclusion of advantaged group members in these movements, which we argue

Victims, Vignettes, and Videos: Meta-Analytic and Experimental Evidence That Emotional Impact Enhances the Derogation of Innocent Victims. Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2020-04-22 Rael J Dawtry,Mitchell J Callan,Annelie J Harvey,Ana I Gheorghiu
Research during the 1960s found that observers could be moved enough by an innocent victim's suffering to derogate their character. However, recent research has produced inconsistent evidence for this effect. We conducted the first meta-analysis (k = 55) of the experimental literature on the victim derogation effect to test the hypothesis that it varies as a function of the emotional impactfulness

Implicit? What Do You Mean? A Comprehensive Review of the Delusive Implicitness Construct in Attitude Research. Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2020-03-20 Olivier Corneille,Mandy Hütter
This article provides a comprehensive review of divergent conceptualizations of the “implicit” construct that have emerged in attitude research over the past two decades. In doing so, our goal is to raise awareness of the harmful consequences of conceptual ambiguities associated with this terminology. We identify three main conceptualizations of the “implicitness” construct: the procedural conceptualization

Folk Theories of Artifact Creation: How Intuitions About Human Labor Influence the Value of Artifacts. Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2020-02-28 Madeline Judge,Julian W Fernando,Angela Paladino,Yoshihisa Kashima
What are the consequences of lay beliefs about how things are made? In this article, we describe a Western folk theory of artifact creation, highlighting how intuitive dualism regarding mental and physical labor (i.e., folk psychology) can lead to the perceived transmission of properties from makers to material artifacts (i.e., folk physics), and affect people's interactions with material artifacts

He is a Stud, She is a Slut! A Meta-Analysis on the Continued Existence of Sexual Double Standards. Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2019-12-27 Joyce J Endendijk,Anneloes L van Baar,Maja Deković
(Hetero)sexual double standards (SDS) entail that different sexual behaviors are appropriate for men and women. This meta-analysis (k = 99; N = 123,343) tested predictions of evolutionary and biosocial theories regarding the existence of SDS in social cognitions. Databases were searched for studies examining attitudes or stereotypes regarding the sexual behaviors of men versus women. Studies assessing

We conducted a series of meta-analytic tests on experiments in which participants read perspective-taking instructions-that is, written instructions to imagine a distressed persons' point of view ("imagine-self" and "imagine-other" instructions), or to inhibit such actions ("remain-objective" instructions)-and afterwards reported how much empathic concern they experienced upon learning about the distressed

The Relationship Problem Solving (RePS) Model: How Partners Influence One Another to Resolve Relationship Problems. Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2019-10-29 Levi R Baker,James K McNulty
In this article, we synthesize existing literatures across numerous domains to introduce a novel model-the Relationship Problem Solving (RePS) model-for understanding the process through which romantic partners influence one another to resolve relationship problems. The first section briefly describes the key constructs and stages of the model. The second section details the interpersonal behaviors

Intragroup Emotion Convergence: Beyond Contagion and Social Appraisal. Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2019-10-23 Brian Parkinson
Mimicry-based emotion contagion and social appraisal currently provide the most popular explanations for interpersonal emotional convergence. However, neither process fully accounts for intragroup effects involving dynamic calibration of people’s orientations during communal activities. When group members are engaged in shared tasks, they simultaneously attend to the same unfolding events and arrive

Social Psychological Theory as History: Outlining the Critical-Historical Approach to Theory. Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2019-10-23 Daniel Sullivan
The mainstream epistemology of social psychology is markedly ahistorical, prioritizing the quantification of processes assumed to be lawful and generalizable. Social psychologists often consider theory to be either a practical tool for summarizing what is known about a problem area and making predictions or a torch that illuminates the counterintuitive causal force underlying a variety of disparate

Are Collectivistic Cultures More Prone to Rapid Transformation? Computational Models of Cross-Cultural Differences, Social Network Structure, Dynamic Social Influence, and Cultural Change. Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2019-06-28 Michael Muthukrishna,Mark Schaller
Societies differ in susceptibility to social influence and in the social network structure through which individuals influence each other. What implications might these cultural differences have for changes in cultural norms over time? Using parameters informed by empirical evidence, we computationally modeled these cross-cultural differences to predict two forms of cultural change: consolidation of

Implications for Reward Processing in Differential Responses to Loss: Impacts on Attachment Hierarchy Reorganization Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2019-06-14 Angie S. LeRoy, C. Raymond Knee, Jaye L. Derrick, Christopher P. Fagundes
When an attachment relationship is severed, so is homeostatic maintenance, leading to dysregulation of multiple physiological systems. Expanding upon Sbarra and Hazan’s original model, we suggest that the degree to which an individual’s physiological systems remain dysregulated depends on the state of one’s attachment hierarchy—namely, whether an individual continues to seek a lost partner for support

The Stability and Change of Loneliness Across the Life Span: A Meta-Analysis of Longitudinal Studies. Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2019-06-10 Marcus Mund,Maren M Freuding,Kathrin Möbius,Nicole Horn,Franz J Neyer
Individuals experience loneliness when they perceive a deficiency in the quality or quantity of their social relationships. In the present meta-analysis, we compiled data from 75 longitudinal studies conducted in Asia, Australia, Europe, and North America (N = 83, 679) to examine the rank-order and mean-level development of loneliness across the life span. Data were analyzed using two- and three-level

Ecologizing Social Psychology: The Physical Environment as a Necessary Constituent of Social Processes. Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2019-05-30 Benjamin R Meagher
Recent trends in social psychology point to increased interest in extending current theories by better incorporating the body (e.g., embodied cognition) and the broader interpersonal context (e.g., situations). However, despite being a critical component in early social theorizing, the physical environment remains in large part underdeveloped in most research programs. In this article, I outline an

The Psychology of Morality: A Review and Analysis of Empirical Studies Published From 1940 Through 2017 Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2019-01-18 Naomi Ellemers, Jojanneke van der Toorn, Yavor Paunov, Thed van Leeuwen
This review aims to examine the “psychology of morality” by considering the research questions and empirical approaches of 1,278 empirical studies published from 1940 through 2017. We subjected these studies to expert content analysis and standardized bibliometric analysis to characterize relevant trends in this body of research. We first identify key features that characterize theoretical approaches

Perfectionism and the Five-Factor Model of Personality: A Meta-Analytic Review Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2019-01-06 Martin M. Smith, Simon B. Sherry, Vanja Vidovic, Donald H. Saklofske, Joachim Stoeber, Aryn Benoit
Over 25 years of research suggests an important link between perfectionism and personality traits included in the five-factor model (FFM). However, inconsistent findings, underpowered studies, and a plethora of perfectionism scales have obscured understanding of how perfectionism fits within the FFM. We addressed these limitations by conducting the first meta-analytic review of the relationships between

Reconceptualizing Self-Affirmation With the Trigger and Channel Framework: Lessons From the Health Domain Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2018-10-07 Rebecca A. Ferrer, Geoffrey L. Cohen
Self-affirmation—a theory-based technique to affirm the adaptive adequacy of the self—can promote positive behavior change and adaptive outcomes, although effects are variable. We extend a novel framework (Trigger and Channel), proposing three conditions that facilitate self-affirmation-induced behavior change: (a) presence of psychological threat, (b) presence of resources to foster change, and (c)

How Do Actions Influence Attitudes? An Inferential Account of the Impact of Action Performance on Stimulus Evaluation Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2018-09-19 Pieter Van Dessel, Sean Hughes, Jan De Houwer
Over the past decade, an increasing number of studies have shown that the performance of specific actions (e.g., approach and avoidance) in response to a stimulus can lead to changes in how that stimulus is evaluated. In contrast to the reigning idea that these effects are mediated by the automatic formation and activation of associations in memory, we describe an inferential account that specifies

Toward an Integrative Framework for Studying Human Evaluation: Attitudes Toward Objects and Attributes Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2018-08-29 Alison Ledgerwood, Paul W. Eastwick, Leigh K. Smith
Evaluation is central to human experience, and multiple literatures have studied it. This article pulls from research on attitudes, human and nonhuman mating preferences, consumer behavior, and beyond to build a more comprehensive framework for studying evaluation. First, we distinguish between evaluations of objects (persons, places, things) and evaluations of attributes (dimensions, traits, characteristics)

Is Man the Measure of All Things? A Social Cognitive Account of Androcentrism Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2018-07-17 April H. Bailey, Marianne LaFrance, John F. Dovidio
Androcentrism refers to the propensity to center society around men and men’s needs, priorities, and values and to relegate women to the periphery. Androcentrism also positions men as the gender-neutral standard while marking women as gender-specific. Examples of androcentrism include the use of male terms (e.g., he), images, and research participants to represent everyone. Androcentrism has been shown

Using Machine Learning to Advance Personality Assessment and Theory. Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2018-05-23 Wiebke Bleidorn,Christopher James Hopwood
Machine learning has led to important advances in society. One of the most exciting applications of machine learning in psychological science has been the development of assessment tools that can powerfully predict human behavior and personality traits. Thus far, machine learning approaches to personality assessment have focused on the associations between social media and other digital records with

Toward a Research Agenda for the Study of Situation Perceptions: A Variance Componential Framework Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2018-04-22 John Rauthmann, Ryne Sherman
Situation perception represents the fulcrum of a “psychology of situations” because situation ratings are ubiquitous. However, no systematic research program exists so far, particularly because two competing traditions have not been integrated: Objectivist views stress situations’ consensually shared meanings (social reality), and subjectivist views idiosyncratic meanings (personal reality).

Habit in Personality and Social Psychology. Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2017-07-25 Wendy Wood
Habits are largely absent from modern social and personality psychology. This is due to outdated perspectives that placed habits in conflict with goals. In modern theorizing, habits are represented in memory as implicit context-response associations, and they guide responding in conjunction with goals. Habits thus have important implications for our field. Emerging research shows that habits are an

Functional Interdependence Theory: An Evolutionary Account of Social Situations. Pers. Soc. Psychol. Rev. (IF 18.464) Pub Date : 2016-07-29 Daniel Balliet,Joshua M Tybur,Paul A M Van Lange
Social interactions are characterized by distinct forms of interdependence, each of which has unique effects on how behavior unfolds within the interaction. Despite this, little is known about the psychological mechanisms that allow people to detect and respond to the nature of interdependence in any given interaction.
