In Study 1, we attempted to replicate Boutwell et al.'s findings using a more direct measure Using Pew Research Center, examined large sample American respondents (N = 3,716) and explored prevalence discrimination experiences among various...
The COVID-19 pandemic has extensively changed the state of psychological science from what research questions psychologists can ask to which methodologies use investigate them. In this article, we offer a perspective on how optimize new in pandemic’s wake. Because is inherently social phenomenon—an event that hinges human-to-human contact—we focus socially relevant subfields psychology. We highlight specific phenomena have likely shifted as result and discuss theoretical, methodological,...
Being socially excluded has detrimental effects, with prolonged exclusion linked to loneliness and social isolation. Social disconnection interventions that do not require direct support actions (e.g., "how can I help?") offer promise in mitigating the affective cognitive consequences of exclusion. We examine how various involving friends unknown peers might mitigate by buffering (intervening before) promoting recovery after).

Abstract Two well documented but still neglected blind spots of often‐used study designs limit a researcher's ability to make inferences about psychological phenomenon. First, typical focus on effects conditions at the group level and are not able assess extent which characterize each participant in study. This spot can lead erroneous (or incomplete) conclusions manipulations both for given level. Second, commonly used research often use limited sample stimuli, constraining particular...
Carolyn Saarni's theory of emotional competence has made a central contribution by directing attention to some important functions emotion in social interaction. Her work is permeated with examples how emotions function within both successful and unsuccessful interactions relationships. An examination her stated principles suggest places perspective that primarily intrapsychic nature, harking back the early roots research. In this piece, we note where Saarni advanced implications relational...
Research suggests that anti-Black bias among White Americans is persistent, pervasive, and has powerful negative effects on the lives of both Black Americans. also intergroup contact in workplaces can reduce bias. We seek to address two limitations prior research. First, reviewed studies may not be typical. Second, previously observed relationships between workplace stem from selection bias—namely, individuals who tend work with are systematically different those do not, systematic...
People’s behavior is characterized by stable if…then… profiles, or if in x situation then a, but y b. But how do researchers conceptualize and measure profiles? Drawing from Cognitive-Affective Processing System (CAPS) theory, we discuss recent developments assessing such profiles can provide a window for elucidating key aspects of the underlying personality system. Specifically, Highly-Repeated Within-Person (HRWP) approach assesses varies as function features situation, operationalizes...
Background: Being socially excluded has detrimental effects, with prolonged exclusion linked to loneliness and social isolation. Social disconnection interventions that do not require direct support actions (e.g., “how can I help?”) offer promise in mitigating the affective cognitive consequences of exclusion. We examine how various involving friends unknown peers might mitigate by either buffering (intervening before) promoting recovery after). Methods: present an integrative data analysis...
