This crowdsourced project introduces a collaborative approach to improving the reproducibility of scientific research, in which findings are replicated qualified independent laboratories before (rather than after) they published. Our goal is establish non-adversarial replication process with highly informative final results. To illustrate Pre-Publication Independent Replication (PPIR) approach, 25 research groups conducted replications all ten moral judgment effects last author and his...
Negative gut reactions to harmless-but-offensive transgressions can be driven by inferences about the moral character of agent more so than condemnation act itself. Dissociations between judgments acts and persons emerged, such that participants viewed a transgression less immoral harmful act, yet indicative poor character. Participants were likely become “morally dumbfounded” when asked justify their relative act. However, they significantly morally dumbfounded who engaged in transgression,...

Significance Past laboratory research has shown that talking about helping others can make a positive impression upon listener. We tested whether this basic social-cognitive phenomenon help explain how governments gain the confidence of public they serve.

Abstract. The present studies examine how culturally held stereotypes about gender (that women eat more healthfully than men) implicitly influence food preferences. In Study 1, priming masculinity led both male and female participants to prefer unhealthy foods, while femininity healthy foods. 2 extended these effects gendered packaging.

We investigate forgiveness as a human service employee coping response to client-instigated victimizations and further explore the role of workgroup conflict in (a) facilitating this response, (b) influencing relationship between victimization workplace outcomes. Using theoretical lens Conservation Resources (Hobfoll, 1989), we propose that employees forgive clients-especially context low conflict. From moderate levels victimization, suggest are positively related; however, positive does not...
Five studies are conducted to examine how ideology and perceptions regarding gender, race, caste, affiliation status affect individuals judge researchers' credibility. Support is found for predictions that researcher credibility according their egalitarian or elitist ideologies cues including university affiliation. Egalitarians evaluate low-status researchers as more credible than high-status researchers. Elitists show the opposite pattern. Credibility judgments whether will interpret...
Despite organizations' professed commitment to fairness, thousands of employees file race-based discrimination claims every year. The current article examines how people deviate from impartiality when evaluating candidates in hiring decisions. Researchers have argued the ideological endorsement elitism (i.e., scoring high social dominance orientation) can lead against racial minorities. We examined whether an opposing commitment-egalitarianism-can also produce partiality, but favor minority...
The present research identifies a subtle form of gender discrimination in the contracts provided to workers. Specifically, workers who pursue jobs atypical for their tend be hired by hour rather than offered fixed contracts, risk-averse practice that reflects lack confidence about future performance on part employers. In Study 1, controlled experiment, male evaluators expressed uncertainty female employee counter-stereotypical job and preferred pay her “as she goes.” 2 examined 99,567...
Abstract We present the data from a crowdsourced project seeking to replicate findings in independent laboratories before (rather than after) they are published. In this Pre-Publication Independent Replication (PPIR) initiative, 25 research groups attempted 10 moral judgment effects single laboratory’s pipeline of unpublished findings. The were investigated using online/lab surveys containing psychological manipulations (vignettes) followed by questionnaires. Results revealed mix reliable,...
Moral typecasting is the tendency to categorize intentional perpetrators and suffering victims within moral interactions. We predicted a bias in typecasting, such that women are more easily typecast as men perpetrators. In Study 1, participants readily assumed harmed target was female than male, but especially when targets were described ‘victim’ ‘perpetrator’. 2 animated shapes perpetuating harm male victimized female. 3, expected experience pain from an ambiguous joke desired harsher...
