A fundamental question in social cognition is whether people categorize others on the basis of groups to which they belong. Integrating ideas from related work face processing, current research explored emergence and boundary conditions person categorization. Using speeded responses facial stimuli as a marker category activation, authors showed 3 experiments that categorization: (a) occurs only under active-encoding (b) does not extend applicable but task-irrelevant categorical dimensions,...
Self-relevant information is associated with facilitation of perceptual and memory processes. In 2 experiments, participants verified the number dots within a virtual room that were visible to given perspective, corresponding participants' own first-person perspectives or third-person for self- other-associated avatars. Perspectives either congruent incongruent respect each. Experiment 1, we examined perspective taking avatars relative one another; both appeared simultaneously in room, made...
Dramatic changes to the transparency, rigor, reproducibility and replicability of research practices have occurred in last decade. Despite considerable progress towards adoption open science by researchers many disciplines, developing pedagogy train students reproducible scholarship has received much less attention. Engaging with multiple dimensions is crucial embedding sustainable change: it enables future generation practice themselves, fosters lasting engagement research, allows them...
The face is a critical stimulus in person perception, yet little research has considered the efficiency of processing operations through which perceivers glean social knowledge from facial cues. Integrating ideas work on cognition and processing, current ease with invariant aspects can be extracted faces under different viewing conditions. results 2 experiments demonstrated that participants pertaining to sex identity both upright inverted orientations, even when were irrelevant task at...
This study examined the extent to which visual perspective-taking performance is modulated by trait-level empathy. Participants completed a third-person task in they judged perspectives of two simultaneously presented avatars, designated "Self" and "Other." Depending on trial, these avatars either held same view (i.e., congruent) or different incongruent). Analyses focused relationship between empathy phenomena: Selection competing perspective-congruence effects) prioritization Self avatar's...
Abstract In this experiment, we examined how perceivers' familiarity with targets moderates person construal. Based on evidence from object categorization that level of construal varies expertise in a manner maximizes cue validity, reasoned although social (i.e., group‐level) is functional for construing unfamiliar others (about whom little or no individuating information available), it less familiar great deal available). Results an automatic priming paradigm provided our reasoning:...
Recent evidence indicates that infant faces capture attention automatically, presumably to elicit caregiving behavior from adults and leading greater probability of progeny survival. Elsewhere, demonstrates people show deficiencies in the processing other-race relative own-race faces. We ask whether this effect impacts on attentional attraction Using a dot-probe task reveal spatial allocation attention, we investigate infants attention.South Asian White participants (young aged 18-23 years)...
Informal learning environments provide the opportunity to study guests' experiences as they engage with exhibits specifically designed invoke emotional experience of awe. The current paper presents insight gained by using both traditional survey measures and innovative mobile eye-tracking technology examine awe in a science museum. We present results for visual attention two exhibit spaces, one chosen its potential evoke positive negative awe, associations between responses regard different...
AbstractThe current research examined the influence of ingroup/outgroup categorization on brain event-related potentials measured during perceptual processing own- and other-race faces. White participants performed a sequential matching task with upright inverted faces belonging either to their own race (White) or another (Black) affiliated university by preceding visual prime. Results demonstrated that right-lateralized N170 component evoked test was modulated social category: own-race...
This study investigated whether age-related sensitivity to self-relevance may benefit perspective taking, despite generally poorer perspective-taking capacity in older adults. In one perceptual matching task and two visual paradigms, we examined age differences avatars representing self other. the task, (60-83 years) younger (18-20 adults were similarly biased toward self- versus other-associated avatar. tasks, participants viewed these within a virtual room. Task-relevant perspectives...
We introduce a tool to aid reviewers in identifying potential threats the validity of empirical research. This was developed through three-wave process that elicited consensus-based expert feedback. The identified this rely on Four Validities framework (Shadish et al., 2002) and are primarily intended for use evaluating research social sciences. Reviewers can visit seaboat.io generate reports be shared alongside traditional peer review or post-publication review.
The personal/group discrimination discrepancy (PGDD) refers to the tendency of disadvantaged group members report higher levels against their in general than themselves personally as that group. In two studies, authors examined cognitive mechanisms underlie PGDD. Experiment 1, demonstrated PGDD emerges from a divergence comparison standards on which personal and judgments are made specifying same be used for both types eliminates or reduces 2, magnitude was function degree informational...
The current research examined the intersection of social categorization and identity recognition to investigate whether when one form construal would dominate people's responses targets. Using an automatic priming paradigm manipulating prime duration examine how familiarity with targets time course processing moderate construal, we asked participants judge sex faces (Experiments 1 2, respectively). results revealed that both unfamiliar familiar were initially categorized by but quickly (and...
This study looks at the types of awe guests feel when they leave art and science cultural institutions various sizes context, how it may be related to what remember learning. We surveyed 899 end their visit 550 them again about one week later. Measures included a scale awe-related perceptions (both positive negative) along with questions memories have learned during visit. Results show were consistent across only significant difference, even grouped by context (art vs. science). Guests'...
We introduce the Situational Awe Scale (SAS), a self-report measure to assess momentary, phenomenological experience of awe. An exploratory factor analysis in Study 1 suggested four-factor structure (connection, oppression, chills, and diminished self), provided initial evidence measure’s convergent criterion validity. 2 for structural validity SAS by confirming uncovered 1, replicated evidence. 3 established that truly assesses situational awe demonstrating scores varied response situations...
Two studies examined the relations between regulatory focus and collective action. In Study 1, undergraduate women expressed stronger action intentions when they were primed to consider prevention (ought-self) self-discrepancies than promotion (ideal-self) self-discrepancies, suggesting that is more likely occur individuals are prevention- rather promotion-focused. 2, however, prevention-focused in response security framing, whereas promotion-focused achievement framing. This suggests...
The authors investigated the relation between attributions of responsibility and reactions to affirmative action. Participants read one four fictitious editorials about visible minority under-employment in which for causing underemployment problem solving it were manipulated. Results indicated that ratings endorsement action programs, perceptions promotes relevant values, highest when minorities depicted as responsible either cause or its solution, but not both. That is, influenced by...
