Two experiments tested the effect of co-occurrence a target object with affective stimuli on automatic evaluation when relation between and suggests that they have opposite valence. Participants learned about targets ended an unpleasant noise or pleasant music. The valence such is to co-occur them. reported preference for over music, but measures revealed preference. This sensitive more than stimuli, relational information has stronger influence deliberate evaluation. These conclusions...
Evaluative conditioning research has investigated the effect of mere stimuli co-occurrence on evaluation and found an assimilative effect—a novel stimulus acquires valence co-occurring stimulus. However, most learning episodes include with additional relational information. For instance, viewers learn that Batman co-occurs crime he fights crime. Does increase negativity toward parallel to positivity because crime? We examined whether influences above beyond qualifiers. review initial...
For more than 25 years, implicit measures have shaped research, theorizing, and intervention in psychological science. During this period, the development deployment of been predicated on a number theoretical, methodological, applied assumptions. Yet these assumptions are frequently violated rarely met. As result, merit research using has increasingly cast into doubt. In article, we argue that future could benefit from adherence to four guidelines based functional approach wherein...
Abstract Co‐occurrence of an object and affective stimuli does not always mean that the are same valence (e.g., false accusations Richard is a crook). Contemporary theory posits information about (in)validity co‐occurrence has stronger influence on deliberate than automatic evaluation. However, available evidence supports hypothesis only when delayed. Further, existing open to alternative methodological accounts. In six high‐powered experiments (total N = 1750), we modified previous...
Evaluative conditioning is one of the most widely studied procedures for establishing and changing attitudes. The surveillance task a highly cited evaluative-conditioning paradigm that claimed to generate attitudes without awareness. potential effects occur awareness continues fuel conceptual, theoretical, applied developments. Yet few published studies have used this task, are characterized by small samples effect sizes. We conducted high-powered ( N = 1,478 adult participants),...
After co-occurrence of a neutral conditioned stimulus (CS) with an affective unconditioned (US), the evaluation CS acquires US valence. This effect disappears when information about CS-US relation indicates that they are opposite in In case, people often show contrastive effect, evaluating valence US. We investigated whether assimilative persists and is only obscured by stronger counteracting contrast inference from opposition relation. Participants evaluated CSs had relations USs under time...
Previous research has distinguished between core disgust, elicited by revolting physical objects like spoiled food, and sociomoral violations of social norms or moral principles. We suggest that different levels construal are involved in the elicitation disgust disgust. Specifically, we predicted involves more concrete than abstract construal, while construal. On basis, examined whether changing level at which eliciting situation is construed a effect on intensity In Experiment 1, found...
Evaluative Conditioning (EC) effect is a change in evaluative responding to neutral stimulus (CS) due its pairing with valenced (US). Traditionally, EC effects are viewed as fundamentally different from persuasion effects. Inspired by propositional perspective EC, four studies (N = 1,284) tested if, like effects, can also be driven trait inferences. Experiments 1-2 found that promoting inferences (by people words rather than nouns) increased 3-4 undermining questioning the validity of those...
Computer science and informatics have great potential to improve citizen engagement with public officials, voting, access information other democratic processes. Yet progress towards achieving these aims on a wide scale remains slow. A main reason for this lack of is that digital technologies create the alter significantly relative influence different groups actors in political process, thereby quickly become embroiled debate crosses complicates technical discussions. These conflicts...

Simple first is our name for a set of hypotheses that we have found useful in research on evaluative learning. The are: (1) It easier to encode and retrieve information two concepts are linked than about how they linked; (2) store make an inference based information; (3) When people encounter object memory activates valence mentally object, consider the activation valid evidence activated characterizes object. We demonstrate these generate assumptions Evaluative Conditioning, open paths...
Despite the importance of positive emotions, little empirical attention has been given to factors that influence their intensity. We explored psychological distance on experience joy and pride. suggest pride involves a relatively more distant perspective than joy, therefore, psychologically will lead less intense In Experiments 1a 1b, using Implicit Association Test, we found was associated with proximity, whereas distance. then manipulated through black-and-white versus color imagery...
The co-occurrence of a neutral stimulus with affective stimuli typically causes the stimulus's evaluation to shift toward stimuli's valence. Does that assimilative effect occur even when one knows is due an opposition relation between (e.g., Batman stops crime)? Previous evidence tentatively supported possibility, based on results compatible obscured by larger contrast people like less than expected, perhaps his crime). We report three experiments (N = 802) in which participants preferred...

Research on automatic stereotyping is dominated by the idea that reflects activation of (group–trait) associations. In two preregistered experiments (total N = 391), we tested predictions derived from an alternative perspective suggests result propositional representations that, unlike associations, can encode relational information and have truth values. Experiment 1 found sensitive to validity about pairs traits groups. 2 showed specific relations (e.g., whether a particular group more or...
Evaluative conditioning (EC) effects refer to changes in the liking of a neutral (conditioned) stimulus (CS) due pairing with an affective (unconditioned) (US). Some research found that EC are resistant presentations CS without US, whereas other studies evidence for extinction effects. A recent study only when participants rated before and after CS-only presentations, but not evaluation was measured once or indirectly evaluative priming task. In two experiments (total N = 2,181), we no is...
Evaluative conditioning (EC) and persuasion are important pathways for shaping evaluations. However, little is known about how these interact. Two preregistered experiments (total N = 1,510) examined effects of EC procedures (i.e., stimulus pairings) instructions on automatic self-reported evaluations social groups in the presence more diagnostic information evaluative traits those groups. Interestingly, both still influenced when participants had read persuasive information. In line with...
