Many methods for reducing implicit prejudice have been identified, but little is known about their relative effectiveness. We held a research contest to experimentally compare interventions the expression of racial prejudice. Teams submitted 17 that were tested an average 3.70 times each in 4 studies (total N = 17,021), with rules revising between studies. Eight effective at preferences Whites compared Blacks, particularly ones provided experience counterstereotypical exemplars, used...
Implicit preferences are malleable, but does that change last? We tested 9 interventions (8 real and 1 sham) to reduce implicit racial over time. In 2 studies with a total of 6,321 participants, all immediately reduced preferences. However, none were effective after delay several hours days. also found these did not explicit reliably moderated by motivations respond without prejudice. Short-term malleability in necessarily lead long-term change, raising new questions about the flexibility...
We investigated whether the Simon effect depends on orienting of attention. In Experiment 1, participants were required to execute left-right discriminative responses 2 patterns that presented left or right fixation. The similar, and discrimination was difficult. A letter at fixation signaled current trial a catch trial. results showed reversal effect. That is, spatially noncorresponding faster than corresponding responses. 2, relevant stimulus attribute easy. 3, difficult, but exposure time...
In the present study two separate stimulus–response compatibility effects (functional affordance and Simon-like effects) were investigated with centrally presented pictures of an object tool (a torch) characterized by a structural separation between graspable portion goal-directed portion. Experiment 1, participants required to decide whether torch was red or blue, while in 2 they upright inverted. Our results showed that same stimulus types effect emerged: one based on direction signalled...

The present work was aimed at investigating whether the flanker compatibility effect can be eliminated by means of a posthypnotic suggestion influencing attentional focusing. In Experiment 1, participants who scored high and low on hypnotic susceptibility performed task when naturally awake under increasing target's discriminability from flankers. Results showed that effectively in highly susceptible participants, whereas low-susceptibility did not show any reduction effect. 2, after...
Explicit measures can be affected by self-involvement in processing of a message (Johnson & Eagly, 1989). Here, we show that counter-stereotypical also influences implicit such as the Implicit Association Test (Greenwald, McGhee, Schwartz, 1998). In our study, racial attitudes changed only after reading scenario which participants were asked to imagine themselves victims an assault opposed simply person. This shift did not depend on evaluative instructions and it was transient no longer...
Investment decisions are very difficult because they involve money and can impact our quality of life. According to the axioms rationality, different but equivalent information formats should not affect investment strategies. The authors perform two experiments here, find evidence a strong absolute magnitude effect on decisions. In Experiment 1, participants (students) chose sell losing fund more often when returns were expressed as percentage variation between buying value actual (e.g.,...
This study aimed at assessing whether the mere belief of performing a task with another person, who is in charge complementary part task, sufficient for so-called joint Simon effect to occur. In all three experiments study, participants sat alone room and underwent two consecutive Go/NoGo tasks that were identical except instructions. Experiment 1, performed first individually (baseline task), then either co-acting person responded from an unknown location NoGo stimuli (joint task) or...
The Simon effect, that is the advantage of spatial correspondence between stimulus and response locations when location a task-irrelevant dimension, occurs even task performed together by two participants, each performing go/no-go task. Previous studies showed this joint considered some authors as measure self-other integration, does not emerge during performance co-actors are required to compete. present study investigated whether for how long competition experienced one can affect in...
The Covid-19 pandemic has forced the education system to a rapid and unprepared transition distance learning, inducing many teachers organize lessons via information communication technologies (ICTs), albeit often without sufficient technological organizational support. Our study aims evaluate teachers’ students’ experience with ICTs during first lockdown, considering three categories of relevant factors: technical issues, attitudes beliefs towards online metacognitive skills. Participants...
The present work set out to test the prediction of dual-route response selection account Simon effect, which maintains that and its facilitation interference components, should show up at stage irrespective when it takes place during processing. Previous works have shown in case a movement response, two strategies can be adopted for responding. main difference between these consists operations take place. experiments reported study showed operates clearly before initiations, effect shows...
