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...
Routine childhood vaccination is a crucial component of public health in Canada and worldwide. To facilitate catch-up from the global decline routine caused by COVID-19 pandemic, toward ongoing pursuit coverage goals, programs must understand barriers to vaccine access imposed or exacerbated pandemic. We conducted regionally representative online survey January 2023 including 2036 Canadian parents with children under age 18. used COM-B model behaviour examine factors influencing timeliness...
This research finds evidence for reliable individual differences in people’s perceived attitude stability that predict the actual of their attitudes over time. Study 1 examines reliability and factor structure an 11-item Personal Attitude Stability Scale (PASS). 2 establishes test–retest PASS a 5-week period. Studies 3a 3b demonstrate convergent discriminant validity relation to relevant existing differences. 4 5 show predicts following delay period across several distinct topics. Across...
Abstract During the COVID-19 pandemic, public health guidance (e.g., regarding use of non-medical masks) changed over time. Although many revisions were a result gains in scientific understanding, we nonetheless hypothesized that making changes salient would negatively affect evaluations experts and health-protective intentions. In Study 1 ( N = 300), demonstrate describing terms inconsistency (versus consistency) leads people to perceive scientists authorities less favorably as expert). For...
Abstract People often overestimate their understanding of how things work. For instance, people believe that they can explain even ordinary phenomena such as the operation zippers and speedometers in greater depth than really can. This is called illusion explanatory depth. Fortunately, a person expose by attempting to generate causal explanation for phenomenon operates (e.g., zipper works). might be because makes salient gaps person’s knowledge phenomenon. However, recent evidence suggests...
Discrimination in the evaluation of others is a key cause social inequality around world. However, relatively little known about psychological interventions that can be used to prevent biased evaluations. The limited evidence exists on these strategies spread across many methods and populations, making it difficult generate reliable best practices effective contexts. In present work, we held research contest solicit with goal reducing discrimination based physical attractiveness using...

For instance, people believe they can explain even ordinary phenomena such as the operation zippers and speedometers in greater depth than really can. This is called illusion explanatory depth. Fortunately, a person expose by attempting to generate causal explanation for phenomenon operates (e.g., zipper works). Researchers have assumed two decades that exposes because makes salient gaps person’s knowledge phenomenon. However,...
During the COVID-19 pandemic, public health messaging, including guidance regarding protective behavior (e.g., use of non-medical masks), changed over time. Although many revisions were a result gains in scientific understanding, we nonetheless hypothesized that making changes salient would negatively impact evaluations experts and health-protective intentions. In Study 1 (N = 300), demonstrate describing terms inconsistency (versus consistency) leads people to perceive scientists...
