Good self-control has been linked to adaptive outcomes such as better health, cohesive personal relationships, success in the workplace and at school, less susceptibility crime addictions. In contrast, failure is maladaptive outcomes. Understanding mechanisms by which predicts behavior may assist promoting regulation A popular approach understanding strength or resource depletion model. Self-control conceptualized a limited that becomes depleted after period of exertion resulting failure....
In an anonymous 4-person economic game, participants contributed more money to a common project (i.e., cooperated) when required decide quickly than forced delay their decision (Rand, Greene & Nowak, 2012), pattern consistent with the social heuristics hypothesis proposed by Rand and colleagues. The results of studies using time pressure have been mixed, some replication attempts observing similar patterns (e.g., et al., 2014) others null effects Tinghög 2013; Verkoeijen Bouwmeester, 2014)....
Do individuals intuitively favor certain moral actions over others? This study explores the role of intuitive thinking—induced by time pressure and cognitive load—in judgment behavior. We conduct experiments in three different countries (Sweden, Austria, United States) involving 1,400 subjects. All subjects responded to four trolley type dilemmas dictator games charitable causes. Decisions were made under pressure/time delay or while experiencing load control. Overall we find converging...
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...
Changing collective behaviour and supporting non-pharmaceutical interventions is an important component in mitigating virus transmission during a pandemic. In large international collaboration (Study 1, N = 49,968 across 67 countries), we investigated self-reported factors that associated with people reported adopting public health behaviours (e.g., spatial distancing stricter hygiene) endorsed policy closing bars restaurants) the early stage of pandemic (April-May 2020). Respondents who...
Motivated numeracy refers to the idea that people with high reasoning capacity will use selectively process information in a manner protects their own valued beliefs. This concept was introduced now classic article by Kahan, Peters, Dawson, & Slovic [2017, Behavioral Public Policy 1, 54-86], who used index capacity, and demonstrated tendency engage ideologically congruent interpretation of facts increased substantially people's numeracy. Despite importance this finding, both from theoretical...
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...
Pain is a highly salient and attention-demanding experience that motivates people to act. We investigated the effect of pain on decision making by delivering acute thermal participants' forearm while they made risky intertemporal choices involving money. Participants (n = 107) were more risk seeking under than in no-pain control condition when decisions involved gains but not equivalent losses. also resulted greater preference for immediate (smaller) over future (larger) monetary rewards....
Music is a common resource for the regulation of emotions, moods, and stress. This study aimed at determining individual relative impact on stress reduction two main factors involved in musical affect regulation: strategies music itself. The current took place an experimental setting followed factorial within-subjects design. First, participants ( n = 34) filled online survey where they identified their self-perceived “adequate”/“inadequate” examples purpose reducing same purpose. In lab...
Pleasant touch is thought to increase the release of oxytocin. Oxytocin, in turn, has been extensively studied with regards its effects on trust and prosocial behavior, but results remain inconsistent. The purpose this study was investigate effect economic decision making. Participants (n = 120) were stroked their left arm using a soft brush (touch condition) or not at all (control condition; varied within subjects), while they performed series tasks assessing betrayal aversion (the Betrayal...
We investigated the effect of ego depletion on risk taking. Specifically, we conducted three studies (total n = 1,716) to test prediction that results in decisions are more strongly line with prospect theory, i.e., reduces taking for gains, increases losses, and loss aversion. Ego was induced using two most common manipulations from previous literature: letter 'e' task (Studies 1 3) Stroop (Study 2). Risk measured a series standard, incentivized economic decision-making tasks assessing...
Abstract Predicting that a stimulus is painful facilitates action to avoid harm. But how distinct are the neural processes underlying prediction of upcoming events vis-à-vis those taking them? Here, we investigated brain activity as function current and predicted or nonpainful thermal stimulation, well ability voluntary affect duration stimulation. Participants performed task which involved administration (S1), an immediately subsequent very (S2). Pressing response button within specified...
System-level change is crucial for solving society’s most pressing problems. However, individual-level interventions may be useful creating behavioral before system- level in place and increasing necessary public support system-level solutions. Participating solutions increase solutions–especially if the are internalized as part of one’s social identity.
The better-than-average effect refers to the tendency rate oneself as better than average person on desirable traits and skills. In a classic study, Svenson (1981) asked participants their driving safety skill compared other in experiment. Results showed that majority of rated themselves far above median, despite statistical impossibility more 50% being median. We report preregistered, well-powered (total N = 1,203), very close replication extension study. Our results indicate average. added...
To limit the devastating effects of climate change, individuals need to engage in pro-environmental behaviours. Psychological interventions could be an effective tool for promoting such actions. However, previous work has measured effectiveness on self-reported attitudes and neglected impacts behaviour. Pro-environmental behaviours, as cycling, are often more effortful than alternative driving. Therefore, assessing whether requires measuring how motivated people exert effort benefit climate....
Bounded ethicality refers to people's limited capacity consistently behave in line with their ethical standards. Here, we present results from a pre-registered, large-scale (N = 11,050) survey of researchers Sweden, suggesting that too are boundedly ethical. Specifically, on average rated themselves as better than other field at following good research practice, and own fields practice. These effects were stable across all academic fields, but strongest among the medical sciences. Taken...
Abstract Predicting that a stimulus is painful facilitates action to avoid harm. But how distinct are the neural processes underlying prediction of upcoming events, and those taking or prevent them? In this fMRI experiment, we addressed by investigating brain activity as function current predicted nonpainful thermal stimulation, ability voluntary affect duration stimulation. Participants ( n = 30) performed task which involved administration (S1), an immediately subsequent very (S2). On...
