Does competition affect moral behavior? This fundamental question has been debated among leading scholars for centuries, and more recently, it tested in experimental studies yielding a body of rather inconclusive empirical evidence. A potential source ambivalent results on the same hypothesis is design heterogeneity-variation true effect sizes across various reasonable research protocols. To provide further evidence whether affects behavior to examine generalizability single study...
ABSTRACT Women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) juggle between their feminine professional identity goals. The present research views these struggles from the perspective of goal pursuits. STEM may use different, sometimes even symbolic, ways to strive for two goals, example, by wearing outfits that reflect femininity, profession, or both. In studies, we tested what extent goals overlap (are seen as similar) whether higher is related preference serve at same time...
Abstract In two studies, emotion emphasis effects on moral judgment are demonstrated. The studies indicate that emphasizing negative consequences in trolley-type dilemmas with emotional language produces more utilitarian responses if such is the of deontological option, and it option. This effect was moderated by action-phase related mindsets. Individuals an implemental mindset were less susceptible to than individuals a deliberative (Studies 1, 2). By also using eye-tracking task Study 2,...

According to symbolic self completion theory, individuals strive for their aspired-to identity goals by accumulating symbols that indicate the possession of very identity. If lack such symbols, lose them, or fail acquire a state goal incompleteness is triggered motivates goal-directed behavior (i.e., acquiring new symbols). We add this framework an empirical investigation interplay between two goals, addressing question: Will who are incomplete regarding one be more less likely engage in...
Abstract Background Policy regulations of ethically controversial genetic technologies should, on the one hand, be based ethical principles. On other they should socially acceptable to ensure implementation. In addition, align with theory. Yet date we lack a reliable and valid scale measure relevant judgements in laypeople. We target this lacuna. Methods developed principles elicit lay judgments: Genetic Technologies Questionnaire (GTQ). two pilot studies pre-registered main study, validated...
