As predicted, threatened participants derogated only the Asian her perceived suitability for job, but did not...
Abstract We examined whether motivation affects people's use of statistical heuristics. In two studies, subjects had to decide how many instances observe before making predictions. Half the were led believe that observation each instance would be relatively high in cost, and half it low cost. both only for whom evidence collection was cost accessed aggregation principle came aggregates afforded greater predictability than did single instances. Their belief increases sharply with sample size...
Abstract This article concerns recall of general autobiographical memories in motivated self‐perception. General memories, comprising abstraction repeated or similar behaviours, have more impact on how one defines oneself than do specific memories. In a study, participants were first induced to believe that either extraversion introversion leads success. the task followed, introversion‐success recalled related did extraversion‐success participants. contrast, extraverted Thus, preserve...
