{"title":"Believability and Feelings in Fake News: A Mind Genomics Cartography","authors":"Lena Sykorova, Camilla Habsburg-Lothringen, Penina Deitel, A. Gere","doi":"10.31038/psyj.2020222","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.31038/psyj.2020222","url":null,"abstract":"Respondents evaluated vignettes combining varieties of messages, with the vignettes defined to be aspects of so-called ‘fake news.’ Each respondent rated a unique set of 24 unique vignettes, systematically varied by an experimental design with the vignettes comprising 2–4 elements. The respondent rated each vignette on a 5-point anchored scale, measuring two factors, feeling (angry vs happy; do not believe vs believe). The data suggest dramatically differences among elements in the degree to which the elements drive both emotion and believability, respectively. Various pairs of mind-sets or different ways of thinking about the information emerged from the clustering of patterns of linkages of elements to emotion, to believability, and to consideration time (response time.) The emergent mind-sets differ on the primary axis of topic (what, how) versus motivation (why.) Introduction We depend upon the daily news for a lot of our information, ranging from the weather and what to wear on to the state of our economy, and of course what actions we should take. The common view is that to a great degree the news that we consume, whether from papers or from electronic modes of presentation are ‘objective.’ That is, we recognize that people may slant the news, but we accept their slanting as ‘part of the news itself,’ recognizing that people have a confirmation bias [1], believing that which agrees with their feeling. When we say that we accept the ‘bias,’ we mean that we accept bias which is not conscious, but rather part of the ‘earnest seekers after truth,’ albeit a seeker who must by the human condition have some bias. The great gift of reporters is that they have the luxury to describe the news after it has happened. It is understood that the reporter will change the story a bit, polishing it to make it attractive for the news consumer to consumer. Polish may be simple, such as better organization of the raw information, out to better, more felicitous but not necessarily ‘faithful’ reportage of the happened. And, of course, we accept the fact that the news may be presented in a new context. What we think may be a virtue, such as the warm pictures of dictators receiving flowers from children, may actually be horrible in its true context (e.g., agitprop, agitation propaganda [2]. The literature of the news, the reporter, and the emerging world of ‘fake news’ comes on top of this tradition of respecting the fundamental honesty of the reporter, perhaps at the same time taking into account some of the predilections of the reporter to present information which is not important, but which is perceived to help along a ‘story.’ The topic of Fake News is not new. Fake news, albeit of a strategic nature for war, is well known. One needs only look at the history of espionage, and the ‘fake news’ fed to the enemy by agents who have been turned. One need not even use a living person.

Emotional affairs and manipulating people who intrude on married couples or committed couples are problematic when proper boundaries are not maintained. Emotional affairs are not widely acknowledged compared to sexual affairs.

There are many influences and human flaws that can threaten your committed relationship through every day experiences.

As the increasing penetration of consumer electronics continues apace, it is becoming increasingly obvious that students have neither the patience to pay attention, nor the ability to think critically. A good measure of that loss of student capability comes from the popular press, where blog after blog decries the loss of thinking and, in turn, the power of education. Not to be outdone, the academic press as signaled by Google Scholar ® provides us with a strong measure of this electronicsdriven loss of thinking and withering of education.

Herrera, Pnina Deitel, Ryan Zemel, Voltiza Prendi","doi":"10.31038/psyj.2020211","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.31038/psyj.2020211","url":null,"abstract":"We present two methods-oriented studies on sexuality, one dealing with the discussion of sexuality in the context of a relationship, the second with the societal protection of sex workers. Both studies used consumer respondents to evaluate systematically varied combinations of messages about the topic, the combinations created by experimental design, following the method of Mind Genomics. Study 1 on discussions of sexual intimacy presents Mind Genomics to understand the way people process information, their criteria for decision-making, and the nature of possibly easy-to-understand mind-sets, i.e., different criteria of importance assigned to the same pieces of information. Study 2 on the protection and recourse given to legal workers shows how to assess the interaction between person and situation as drivers of judgments and drivers of engagement. Both studies point to the emerging science of Mind Genomics as an easy, rapid, and cost-effective ways to create archival databases, to introduce new ways of thinking, and to democratize research world-wide, respectively. Introduction During the past three decades the focus of researchers has steadily increased on issues involving intimacy, specifically sexual intimacy between consenting partners (love, romance), as well as sexual intimacy as a business (sex workers.) Sexuality in its many manifestations has always attracted research because of its centrality in daily life, but as society has evolved, issues of sexuality have become intertwined with emotions, with public health (e.g., sexually transmitted disease), and finally with issues of the law (e.g., prostitution and the issues revolving around sex workers.) The topics of love, sexuality, sexual exploitations, and societal reactions each have spawned enormous literatures. Table 1 shows the number of ‘hits’ for Google® and for Google Scholar®, for each of these topics, at the time of this writing, December 2019, No set of studies can hope to be comprehensive, given the long history of the study of sexuality, the many manifestations in daily life, and the many cultures as well as stages of individual development that must be considered. Rather, we introduce here a new approach to the study of sexuality, the science of Mind Genomics, designed to take small snapshots of a topic, focus in depth on a specific, limited topic, and work with small, affordable samples of respondents. The worldview of Mind Genomics involves a small, limited topic, investigating the patterns of decision making within that topic. Rather than emerging out of the history of the hypothetico-deductive method, isolating a variable and studying that variable in an experiment, Mind Genomics proceeds in the reverse direction. One might think of the Mind Genomics researcher as a cartographer faced with a new land. The cartographer measures the relevant variables of a topographical area, deduces the nature of the structure below, and maps the land. The cartographer creates maps, not th","PeriodicalId":352931,"journal":{"name":"Psychology Journal: Research Open","volume":"155 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124333973","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We explore the degree to which ordinary people, non-prisoners, feel that there is despair versus hope among prisoners. Through experimentally designed vignettes, we describe who the prisoner IS, what the prisoner FACES, what the OTHER PRISONERS are like, and what preparatory efforts are in place regarding RELEASE. Each respondent read a unique set of 24 vignettes, comprising different elements, and for each vignette rated the degree to which the prisoner would be likely to think of committing suicide versus be hopeful. The analysis reveals the specific contribution of each element in the vignette as a driver of projected suicide versus hopes, and the numbers of tenths of second required to ‘process’ the element before making the decision. The study suggests two mind-sets, one focusing on the prisoner, the other focusing on the surrounding, each as a driver of despair, as represented by the phrase ‘contemplates suicide’.","PeriodicalId":352931,"journal":{"name":"Psychology Journal: Research Open","volume":"13 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-02-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121289541","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
