In recent years, the effect of sleep on memory consolidation has received considerable attention. humans, these studies concentrated mainly procedural types memory, which are considered to be hippocampus-independent. Here, we show that also a persisting hippocampus-dependent declarative memory. two experiments, examined high school students' ability remember vocabulary. We is enhanced when follows within few hours learning, independent time day, and with equal amounts interference during...
Research in environmental sciences has found that the ergonomic design of human-made environments influences thought, feeling, and action. In research reported here, we examined impact physical on dishonest behavior. four studies, tested whether certain bodily configurations—or postures—incidentally imposed by environment led to increases The first three experiments showed individuals who assumed expansive postures (either consciously or inadvertently) were more likely steal money, cheat a...
Across 7 studies, we investigated the prediction that people underestimate value of persistence for creative performance. a range tasks, consistently underestimated how productive they would be while persisting (Studies 1-3). Study 3 found subjectively experienced difficulty, or disfluency, thought accounted undervaluation. Alternative explanations based on idea quality 1-2B) and goal setting (Study 4) were considered ruled out domain knowledge was explored as boundary condition 5). In 6,...
Evidence suggests that organizational leaders can inspire employees by communicating a vision of the future with image-based rhetoric—words and phrases are readily envisioned in mind's eye (e.g., "our is to make moviegoers laugh"). Yet research has demonstrated most do not craft visions rhetoric, instead favoring abstract language cannot easily be visualized. We integrate theory on leadership dual cognitive processing argue this problem exacerbated when focus word selection crafting because...
We explore the relationship between group-based egalitarianism and empathy for members of advantaged groups (e.g., corporate executives; state officials) versus disadvantaged blue-collar workers; schoolteachers) subjected to harmful actions, events, or policies. Whereas previous research suggests that anti-egalitarians (vs. egalitarians) dispositionally exhibit less others, we propose this depends on target's position in social hierarchy. examined question across eight studies (N = 3,154)...
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...
What counts as hypocrisy?Current theorizing emphasizes that people see hypocrisy when an individual sends them "false signals" about his or her morality (Jordan, Sommers, Bloom, & Rand, 2017); indeed, the canonical hypocrite acts more virtuously in public than private.An alternative theory posits enjoys "undeserved moral benefits," such feeling virtuous behavior merits, even has not sent false signals to others (Effron, O'Connor, Leroy, Lucas, 2018).This predicts acting less private can seem...
Significance Creativity research across the social sciences seeks to elucidate factors that enhance and stifle creativity. We demonstrate people systematically misunderstand their own creativity an ideation session. Eight studies found expect decline session when it, in fact, tends improve or persist (we call this misprediction creative cliff illusion). These beliefs are consequential because they lead undervalue ideation: They exhibit less task persistence lower performance. This documents...
Inspiring statements about creativity from eminent figures circulate on social media and beyond but their psychological impact is unexplored. This research identifies the most popular quotes creativity, investigates how they relate to individual beliefs creative process (role of spontaneous deliberate ideation) person (fixed malleable mindset), explores specificity with respect creativity. First, through data mining content, study 1 identified 445 unique creativity-tagged attributed 318...
WE STUDIED THE EMOTIONAL RESPONSES BY MUSICIANS to familiar classical music excerpts both when the was sounded, and it imagined.We used continuous response methodology record profiles for dimensions of valence arousal simultaneously then on single dimension emotionality. The were compared using cross-correlation analysis, an analysis responses musical feature turning points, which isolate instances change in features thought influence responses. We found strong similarity between use...
How do people think creative ideas are generated? Anecdotally, people's beliefs about the process seem to span gamut of possible behaviors. The current research develops a framework for understanding process. We propose that can be organized around two prominent mental models (i.e., Insight model and Production model). Our describes how these influence prioritization behaviors preparation-focus vs. production-focus) subsequent idea output novelty feasibility). discuss five expected patterns...
The amount of effort required to bring about a prosocial outcome can vary from low—handing stranger the wallet she just dropped—to high—spending days tracking down owner lost wallet. goal current research is characterize relationship between and moral character judgments. Does more always lead rosier judgments? Across four studies ( N = 1,658), we find that judgments increase with point then plateau. We evidence this pattern produced, in part, by descriptive prescriptive norms: exceeding...
Perspective-taking often increases generosity in behavior and attributions. We present an intentions-based account to explain how perspective-taking can both decrease increase moral condemnation. Consistent with past research, we predicted would reduce condemnation when the perspective-taker initially attributed benevolent intent a transgressor. However, malevolent intentions were wrongdoer. propose that amplifies Three studies measured manipulated intention attributions found increased also...
Prior research suggests that having power makes individuals more creative, because the powerful are willing to break with convention. We investigate possibility lower can also be creative when given opportunity warm up by completing a task than once. In Study 1 (N = 153), we divided ideation session into two consecutive rounds and found low (vs. high) were less in first round (replicating prior research), but improved second round, attenuating disadvantage. replicated this effect 2 121;...
Abstract In the knowledge‐based economy, creative ideas are becoming increasingly valuable. However, creators often encounter threat of idea theft, which can discourage them from sharing their and receiving vital feedback. This article explores psychology behind creators' attempts to strategically manage sharing. Across three studies, we find that mispredict preferences thieves, such thieves prefer steal in earlier stages development than expect. We this difference is driven by tendency...
