Self-reported religious service attendance has been linked with longevity. However, previous work largely relied on self-report data and volunteer samples. Here, mention of a affiliation in obituaries was analyzed as an alternative measure religiosity. In two samples ( N = 505 from Des Moines, IA, 1,096 42 U.S. cities), the religiously affiliated lived 9.45 5.64 years longer, respectively, than nonreligiously affiliated. Additionally, social integration volunteerism partially mediated...
Much research has noted people's tendency toward extremity.This work made it clear that some people prefer to hold extreme views and might leave the impression when biases preferences occur, they primarily favor extremity.In contract, in current work, we examine possibility attitudinal neutrality across two pretesting samples, three main studies, supplementary studies (Ntotal = 1,873).The preference for is distinguished from low extremity, as well an interest collecting balanced...
Anecdotally, attributions that others are biased pervade many domains. Yet, research examining the effects of perceptions bias is sparse, possibly due to some prior researchers conflating with untrustworthiness. We sought demonstrate and untrustworthiness separable have independent effects. The current work examines these differences in persuasion domain, but this distinction has implications for other domains as well. Two experiments clarify conceptual between (skewed perception)...
Many mainstream organizations celebrate their historical successes. In history, however, they often marginalized racial minorities, women, and other underrepresented groups. We suggest that when histories, even without mentioning marginalization, can undermine belonging intentions to join the organization among historically Four experiments demonstrate Black participants who were exposed an celebrated history versus present showed reduced participate in organization. These effects mediated...
This study examined whether single-gender or mixed-gender PE lessons were more conducive to increasing the physical activity levels of girls. One hundred and twenty girls (12–15 years) wore a wGT3x+ActiGraph accelerometer while participating in basketball games. Time spent low (LPA), moderate (MPA), vigorous (VPA), moderate-to-vigorous (MVPA) compared between lesson. Perceived effort enjoyment each lesson also captured using three-point scale following intervention. Girls found spend...
Discussions of the difference between biased and fake news were prevalent after 2016 United States Presidential election. However, within social psychology, especially psychology persuasion, perceptions source bias have been largely overlooked or conflated with untrustworthiness. In current work, we sought to demonstrate that untrustworthiness can differing effects. One such situation is when persuasive sources originally take one position but switch a different (flip-flopping). We find...
Previous work has reliably demonstrated that when people experience more subjective ambivalence about an attitude object, their attitudes have less impact on strength-related outcomes such as attitude-related thinking, judging, or behaving. However, previous research not considered whether the amount of perceived knowledge a person topic might moderate these effects. Across eight studies different topics using variety outcome measures, current demonstrates can relation between and related...
Communicators commonly present two-sided messages to avoid being perceived as biased. This approach equates bias with one-sidedness rather than divergence from the position supported by available data. Messages often concern topics mixed qualities: a product is exceptional but expensive; politician inexperienced ethical. For these topics, providing message should reduce according both views of and However, if follows data, for viewed one-sided (univalent), not bias. Across five studies,...
Most surveys of public opinion regarding biofuels focus on overall evaluations, but not all support or opposition is created equal. Some opinions are more consequential than others. The current article discusses the literature attitude strength and presents results a national survey United States citizens. Attitudes predicted willingness to purchase flexible-fuel vehicles, especially when attitudes were associated with high levels knowledge low ambivalence. Therefore, for does provide...
Individuals reliably feel more attracted to those with whom they share similar attitudes. However, this affective liking does not always predict affiliative behavior, such as pursuing a friendship. The present research examined factors that influence the extent which similarity-based attraction increases willingness affiliate (i.e., behavioral attraction) - one potential step toward engaging in behavior. Research on attitude strength has identified properties, confidence, when an is likely...
The current research examined how people infer whether novel sources are biased based on their ability to justify position. Across nine studies, when provided weak versus strong arguments, message recipients perceived the source as more biased. This effect held controlling for other possible inferences, such lack of expertise or untrustworthiness. also bias one can carry over ambiguously related future persuasive messages. Studies 6 8 demonstrated that perceivers use both from an initial and...
From delivering negative feedback at work to discussing death and illness with children setting boundaries loved ones, having difficult conversations is a necessary but challenging part of life. In this work, we introduce the Honesty-Harm Conflict (HHC) model explain how perceived costs benefits influence honest engagement across people, contexts, time. Building on past begin assumption that are typically experienced as tradeoff between causing immediate harm fostering long-term learning...
Consumer research has examined whether perceptions of ulterior motives behind marketing result in greater consumer skepticism and reduced persuasion. Yet could stem from perceiving a message source as untrustworthy or biased. The possibility bias been relatively overlooked conflated with untrustworthiness. recent demonstrated that consumers perceive untrustworthiness differently. Sources are viewed biased when they have skewed perception but dishonest. Bias can serve independent reasons to...
Understanding when people are likely to feel ambivalent is important, as ambivalence associated with key attitude outcomes, such attitude-behavior consistency. Interestingly, the presence of conflicting positive and negative reactions (objective ambivalence) weakly related feeling conflicted (subjective ambivalence). We tested a novel situation that can influence correspondence between objective subjective ambivalence: whether message recipient's topic match in affective versus cognitive...
Growth mindsets are beliefs that abilities, like intelligence, mutable.
