The self-concept maintenance theory holds that many people will cheat in order to maximize self-profit, but only the extent they can do so while maintaining a positive self-concept. Mazar, Amir, and Ariely (2008, Experiment 1) gave participants an opportunity incentive on problem-solving task. Prior task, either recalled Ten Commandments (a moral reminder) or 10 books had read high school neutral task). Results were consistent with theory. When given cheat, moral-reminder priming task...
According to cognitive-dissonance theory, performing counterattitudinal behavior produces a state of dissonance that people are motivated resolve, usually by changing their attitude be in line with behavior. One the most popular experimental paradigms used produce such change is induced-compliance paradigm. Despite its popularity, replication crisis social psychology and other fields, as well methodological limitations associated paradigm, raise concerns about robustness classic studies this...
Srull and Wyer (1979) demonstrated that exposing participants to more hostility-related stimuli caused them subsequently interpret ambiguous behaviors as hostile. In their Experiment 1, descrambled sets of words form sentences. one condition, 80% the sentences described hostile behaviors, in another 20% behaviors. Following descrambling task, all read a vignette about man named Donald who behaved an ambiguously manner then rated him on set personality traits. Next, hostility various (all...
According to the justified true belief (JTB) account of knowledge, people can truly know something only if they have a that is both and (i.e., knowledge JTB). This was challenged by Gettier, who argued JTB does not explain attributions in certain situations, later called “Gettier-type cases,” wherein protagonists are believing be true, but their correct because luck. Laypeople may attribute with luckily beliefs. Although some research has found evidence for these so-called Gettier...
The present research investigated how scientific authority increases the lethal use of animals in biomedical experimentation. In two behavioral studies ( N = 151 and 150), participants were required to incrementally administer 12 doses a toxic chemical 53-cm fish (in reality, biomimetic robot) for on animal learning. Consistent with Engaged Followership Theory obedience, placed pro-scientific mindset more severely harmed laboratory animal. cross-sectional study 351), medical fields endorsed...
Abstract In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Psychological Science Accelerator coordinated three large-scale psychological studies examine effects of loss-gain framing, cognitive reappraisals, and autonomy framing manipulations on behavioral intentions affective measures. The data collected (April October 2020) included specific measures for each experimental study, a general questionnaire examining health prevention behaviors experience, geographical cultural context characterization,...
Right-wing authoritarianism (RWA) and social dominance orientation (SDO) both predict generalized prejudice, dehumanization, intergroup discrimination, oppression, violence, right-wing political party preference, generally punitive attitudes. Authoritarian attitudes have been theorized to involve maladaptive emotional, cognitive, self-regulation. However, there is no study of using the functioning parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) as a physiological index self-regulation, thus leaving it...
Lack of sleep is common in adolescence, and represents an important threat to adolescents' well-being, academic commitment, general health. It also has significant behavioral consequences through increased likelihood interpersonal violence. Previous studies have demonstrated association between aggressive behavior lack sleep, but the psychological mediators remain completely unexplored. Grounded General Aggression Model, we investigated affective pathway as one potential mechanisms linking...
According to the Justified True Belief account of knowledge (JTB), a person can only truly know something if they have belief that is both justified and true (i.e., belief). This was challenged by Gettier (1963), who argued JTB does not explain attributions in certain situations, later called Gettier-type cases, wherein protagonist believing be but their correct due luck. Lay people may attribute protagonists with luckily beliefs. While some research has found evidence for these so-called...
To develop pharmaceutical drugs, people experiment on lab-animals, and a wide variety of factors might predict the involvement into this situation. Using an ultra-realistic protocol mimicking animal research (n = 145), we examined individual determinants contextual frameworks which may facilitate or hinders experimenter's hand. We whether personality markers, such as high social dominance orientation, speciesist dispositions, low empathy would increase willingness to animal, while being...
Despite caring for animals, most people use products tested on lab-animals daily, and rarely consider the implications of their choices animal testing. We experimentally examined across four preregistered high-powered online studies (total N = 3405) whether categorizing animals as being lab-subjects, in a context where are also reminded own consumer choices, could lead to mind denial. Findings confirmed that participants consistently denied used product testing compared those same presented...

ABSTRACTThere is a large gender gap in support for animal experimentation, with men endorsing this practice more than women. However, little known about the psychological factors associated these differences. Drawing on and gender-balanced sample (nwomen = 551, nmen 454), we conducted cross-sectional survey to examine whether differences empathy, social dominance orientation (SDO), speciesism mediate attitudes toward experimentation. Our results indicate that empathy link between but SDO...
ABSTRACTIn two highly powered studies (total N = 1617), we showed that individuals estimated they would stop earlier than others in a Milgram-like biomedical task leading to the death of an animal, confirming relevance Better Average Effect (BTAE) new research setting. However, this effect was not magnified among participants displaying high self-esteem. We also who already knew obedience expected be more obedient and administer damaging treatment target. knowledge Milgram's unrelated higher...
