Extending prior research on AI aversion, the current research explores the potential aversion toward those using AI to seek advice.

This is because people perceived less similarity between themselves and AI advice seekers (vs. human advice seekers), with a stronger mediating role of perceived similarity among individuals with greater aversion to AI (Studies 2 and S1). Dehumanization of AI advice seekers predicted less behavioral support for (Study 3) and helping intention toward (Studies S2 and S3) them and could be alleviated through anthropomorphism-related interventions, such as perceiving humanlike qualities in AI or utilizing generative AI (Studies 4 and 5).

In Experiment 1, vegetarians were less appreciative than meat-eaters of large (but only partial) reductions in other people's meat consumption, but they were more appreciative than meat-eaters of smaller but absolute reductions (i.e., reduction to zero meat consumption). In Experiment 2, a similar pattern emerged in political groups: Republicans, who value immigration control more than Democrats, were relatively less sensitive to large but partial reductions in illegal immigration than to its elimination; the reverse pattern was observed for gun possession. In Experiment 3, we manipulated participants' values regarding child labor. Individuals who generated arguments in defense of child labor held less protected values and were comparatively more sensitive to change in child labor numbers. Further studies showed that protected values make people focus on the outcome (i.e., the present state) more than on the trajectory of change (i.e., the difference from the past; Experiment 4) and that they inspire stricter thresholds for what is considered acceptable (Experiment 5). Experiment 6 shows that protected values cause a heightened sensitivity to absolute changes to zero, rather than insensitivity to changes overall. These findings indicate that protected values amplify sensitivity to absolute changes to zero, compared to partial changes-even larger ones-that fall short of zero. The results have theoretical implications for theories of progress perception and quantity (in)sensitivity.

However, empirical studies on how contextual factors relate to state loneliness remain scarce. This study investigated how state loneliness varies depending on social company, everyday activities, physical locations, and the duration of exposure to these contextual factors. Drawing on preregistered and exploratory analyses, we examined data from the Day Reconstruction Method module of the German Socio-Economic Panel Innovation Sample, collected across four waves between 2012 and 2015. The representative sample comprised 22,031 episodes nested within 2,508 participants (52.6% female, age range 17-95 years, Mage = 50.0, SDage = 18.9). Multilevel logistic regression models showed that being alone consistently predicted higher odds of state loneliness, while the presence of others showed opposing associations. Participants were more likely to feel lonely when at home than when at work or elsewhere. Watching television was linked to a higher probability of reporting state loneliness, whereas self-care/health and media use showed a negative relationship. For some activities, this relationship was moderated by the duration of the activities: Reporting state loneliness was more likely during prolonged episodes of care work but less likely during prolonged episodes of social contact and television consumption. Overall, these findings contribute to a more robust, nuanced understanding of the contextual and temporal features tied to momentary feelings of loneliness, underscoring the need for dynamic, time-sensitive approaches in both research and interventions addressing everyday experiences of loneliness.

In this study, we used a newly collected Chinese sample (N = 594, observations = 26,802) and an existing American data set (N = 862, observations = 36,631) to investigate the dynamics of narcissism and affect in daily life. Using dynamic structural equation modeling, we characterized these dynamics through key indicators-mean, variability, contemporaneous correlations, autoregressive effects, and cross-lagged effects-and examined their intercorrelations and associations with dispositional variables. Results showed that indicators within each dynamic were closely interrelated and substantially linked to dispositional traits. The dynamics of narcissism and affect exhibited moderate similarity with grandiosity corresponding to positive affect and vulnerability to negative affect. The two dynamics mainly differed in the associations between their two components: Grandiosity and vulnerability were generally more positively correlated than positive and negative affect, which were somewhat inversely related. These patterns generalized well across Chinese and American samples, although Chinese participants showed a stronger cross-lagged effect of vulnerability on subsequent grandiosity. Additionally, grandiosity and positive affect showed more adaptive external associations with trait variables, whereas variability in affect and narcissism showed more maladaptive external associations in the Chinese sample. This study bridges narcissism and affect research, advances understanding of their dynamics, and enhances the generalizability of findings by examining them across two national contexts.

With the rise of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI), people are increasingly relying on conversational AI for guidance on consumption and lifestyle choices, from picking a cuisine to choosing a travel destination. However, can conversational AI exert enough persuasive influence to serve as a viable substitute for human opinions? Across five experiments involving real conversations, participants discussed an opinion-based topic (e.g., whether it is worth subscribing to more than one streaming service) with a conversation partner framed as either an AI or a human. Unbeknownst to them, all participants actually conversed with a large language model prompted to try to change their minds on the topic. We found that participants showed greater attitude change toward their partner's counterattitudinal position (i.e., became more persuaded) when their partner was framed as an AI (vs. a human). We demonstrate that this occurs because people tend to view AI as inherently less persuadable than humans. As a result, they become less argumentative with an AI-framed (vs. human-framed) partner, and this reduced argumentativeness, in turn, predicts greater attitude change. Consistent with this mechanism, the effect is mediated by linguistic markers of reduced argumentativeness and attenuated when people have a goal to persuade their partner, when an AI-framed partner is described as persuadable, and when the interaction format is constrained (i.e., when argumentation is precluded and thus the partner is structurally unpersuadable). These findings advance understanding of how persuasion unfolds in conversations with AI.

This raises the question of whether power is an asset or a detriment when one is implicated in wrongdoing. Different theoretical perspectives informed competing hypotheses, suggesting power may either decrease (shielding hypothesis) or increase (liability hypothesis) judgments of culpability. Here, we report four main studies and 10 supplemental studies that addressed this conundrum, using diverse transgressions, methods, and samples. In Study 1, participants judged higher power individuals to be likelier sources of deceitful die-rolling reports than lower power individuals, and they trusted them less in an incentivized behavioral trust game. In Study 2, participants rated higher power people as more probable perpetrators of financial fraud than lower power people, and this effect was mediated by perceived impunity (i.e., powerholders seemingly believing they can get away with anything). Study 3 was an archival study of 97,628 forum posts about diverse transgressions where there was ambiguity about who was the culprit, and users rendered judgments. We found that higher power posters were about twice as likely to be deemed guilty than lower power posters. Finally, Study 4 excluded generic power saliency as an alternative explanation and replicated the mediation via perceived impunity. These findings indicate that, besides many perks, power comes with perils in the form of ascribed culpability.

We propose that group status fundamentally shapes motivation to enhance equality-above and beyond ideological beliefs, threat-based reactance, personal gain, or underlying cognitive biases-determining whether individuals see equality-enhancing policies as harmful. Across five preregistered lab and representative field studies (N = 5,116), we find that advantaged-but not disadvantaged-group members systematically perceived equality policies as harmful to advantaged group resource access, even when policies explicitly preserve or improve access. Effects persisted when non-zero-sum policies were jointly evaluated with explicitly zero-sum policies, suggesting a mechanism other than cognitive zero-sum biases (Study 2). Independent of participants' particular group membership, both advantaged societal status (Study 3) and contextual resource advantage (Study 4) predicted lower motivation to enhance equality between two groups, which in turn predicted perceived resource access. Experimentally manipulating motivation to enhance equality or to preserve the status quo directly affected both advantaged and disadvantaged participants' perceptions of policy harm (Study 5). Equality may be elusive not only because of cognitive zero-sum biases, threat reactance, and vocal antagonists, but also because the social motivations imbued by one's hierarchical position dictate whether equality itself is seen as necessarily zero-sum.

The pooled regression model employed by the World Happiness Report explained 75% of the variance in national life satisfaction. In contrast, two-level models generated for the present analyses explained 84% of the between-nation variance and either 25% (fixed effects model) or 67% (random effects model) of the within-nation variance. Nation-specific regression models generated for the present analyses explained between 19% and 97% of the variance within individual countries. The statistical significance, magnitude, and sign/direction for each of the six predictors varied widely depending on the analytic model and level of analysis. Few countries were characterized by a pattern of predictive effects that matched the pooled regression model.

Across five primary studies and eight supplementary studies, we show that people assign racial identities to AI systems, overwhelmingly perceiving them as White-even though these systems provide no visual, vocal, or identity cues from which race might ordinarily be inferred. Using forced-choice, open-ended, and implicit reverse-correlation measures, Studies 1 and 2 demonstrate that AI is explicitly and implicitly associated with Whiteness across diverse samples. Study 3 extends these findings beyond the United States, showing that AI is perceived as White in Japan and India. Study 4 examines the implications of AI racialization, showing that perceiving an AI system as more White is associated with greater trust in and persuasiveness of its recommendations. Supplementary studies identified two potential mechanisms: stereotype spillover linking intelligence with Whiteness and ecosystem-based inferences based on beliefs about who creates, trains, and uses AI. Building on this account, Study 5 provides causal evidence by isolating a key ecosystem cue-the racial composition of AI training data. Participants assigned less cognitively demanding tasks to AI systems described as trained on Black and Latino data than to otherwise identical systems trained on White or unspecified data. Together, these findings show that AI is not perceived as socially neutral but instead acquires racial meanings associated with credibility, authority, and capability, demonstrating how social categories shape perceptions of novel technological entities beyond their underlying algorithmic properties.

When accurate, these metaliking judgments enable individuals to more optimally engage in social interactions. Although previous research shows that people do know how much others like them, little is known about the processes leading to accurate metaliking judgments. In the present, preregistered research, we aimed to close this gap by investigating the role of a metaperceiver's appearance and behavior, others' behavior toward that metaperceiver, and the reciprocity heuristic in forming accurate metaliking judgments. To this end, we used data from a round-robin study, in which N = 144 participants (Mage = 22.91, 67.6% female) took part in two group meetings, where they interacted with unacquainted others. After each participant had given a short self-introduction, participants indicated liking and metaliking for each other participant. In addition, trained raters judged participants' appearance and behavior during the self-introduction. Results showed that people were able to correctly infer how much others generally liked them, but hardly knew how much specific other liked them. Lens model analyses revealed that although one's appearance and behavior were valid cues for being generally liked, metaperceivers did not utilize most of these observable cues to inform their metaliking judgments. However, the assumed reciprocity mediated both individual and dyadic metaliking accuracy. In light of these findings, we discuss the role of self-observed behavior and stable personality characteristics as well as situational and motivational factors, presenting an integrative theoretical framework to explain generalized and dyadic metaliking accuracy.
