In Study 1, using traditional measures of information distortion, we found that risk-of-death information about two potential treatment options that was presented via icon arrays was distorted in favor of participants' leading alternative. The magnitude of distortion was similar to the level of distortion for other treatment information in the treatment scenario. Study 2 directly tested whether the presence versus absence of icon arrays when presenting risk information had any impact on levels of information distortion, this time using a dependent measure that targeted people's intuitive perceptions of risk. We found that the extent to which a 6% risk of death seemed riskier than a 3% risk of death was greater when the former risk was from a treatment option that was relatively undesired. This distortion was not significantly reduced by the presence of icon arrays. We replicated this pattern of results in a third study. These findings highlight the need for developing new tools and methods for presenting risk/likelihood information that can protect against the influence of predecisional information distortion.

Unfortunately, this trend has been accompanied by a rise in the phenomenon of greenwashing, which has led to skepticism and distrust among green consumers. Drawing on construal-level theory, this study explores features of green messages that affect motivated resistance to persuasion, greenwashing perceptions, and purchase intentions. We crafted fictitious advertisements varying in psychological distance of consequences (proximal vs. distal outcomes) of consequences and in verb modality (definite vs. probable language). Using an experimental survey (N = 1,617), we found that messages that contained two low-construal features (psychological distance of consequences: proximal, and verb modality: definite) produced the most resistance to persuasion. Motivated resistance to persuasion was found to increase perceptions of greenwashing, while perceptions of greenwashing were found to reduce purchase intentions. The experiment additionally found that the combination of proximal consequences and definite language reduced purchase intentions through serial mechanisms of increased motivated resistance to persuasion and perceptions of greenwashing. These findings enrich the growing understanding of green messaging and carry both practical and theoretical implications.

However, these explanations cannot explain why people do not change this belief despite the increasingly large variety of healthy and tasty food options. We argue that it is the abundance of tasty foods in the environment, combined with people's motivation to eat palatable foods, that prevents individuals from changing their beliefs. In three online studies and one taste experiment (total N = 976), we show that individuals' food choices in reward-rich environments with many tasty foods, but not in reward-poor environments with few tasty foods, led to a consolidation of initial beliefs, even when there was no relationship between food healthiness and taste or a relationship that contradicted their beliefs in the experimental food environment. Our findings suggest that a basic hedonic sampling mechanism contributes to the persistence of food beliefs, such as the belief that unhealthy food tastes better, and should be considered when trying to change unhealthy diets.

This online study (N = 799 English-speaking adults, mostly from the United Kingdom) was conducted in 2023 and combined aspects of experimental curiosity research with more naturalistic exploration methods by introducing a novel experimental setup. Participants freely explored a hypertext on a historical topic, while their self-directed information seeking (i.e., clicks on hyperlinks and reading time) was captured with log data. Participants then completed a knowledge test in which they also reported their confidence in their answers and their curiosity about learning the correct answers. We found that simply choosing to seek additional information (clicking on a hyperlink) did not predict curiosity ratings, whereas the extent of engagement (reading time) did. Moreover, trait curiosity moderated the relationship between confidence and state curiosity, with highly trait-curious individuals maintaining higher state curiosity under low confidence, unlike those with low trait curiosity. This study presents a promising way to assess curiosity in a controlled experimental task resembling real-world learning situations and provides a comprehensive perspective on the dynamic ways in which curiosity is sparked and satisfied.

According to the classic signal detection model, such instructions should shift decision criteria without affecting discriminability-the ability to distinguish innocent from guilty suspects. Yet, in prior research, while two types of instructions did make participants respond more conservatively, one type of instruction decreased discriminability and another increased discriminability. Across four experiments-three conducted online and one in the field-we tested the effects of different instructional methods on eyewitness responding in both lineup and showup procedures. We found that while certain instructions consistently induced more conservative responding, they sometimes decreased and never increased discriminability. We attribute this pattern to instructional variance: participants likely interpreted and complied with the instructions to varying degrees, introducing noise that lowered discriminability. Notably, identifications made with high confidence were associated with much more conservative responding than any instruction alone, suggesting that conservative responding is best achieved by collecting confidence rather than by instructing eyewitnesses to respond conservatively. Finally, the confidence-accuracy relationship was stronger in our field showup using live actors than in the corresponding online version, underscoring the need for more research in the field to better understand eyewitness identification performance.

Across two preregistered within-subjects studies (N = 36, conducted in 2023, and N = 49, conducted in 2024), we examined how 24 hr of total sleep deprivation affects belief change and confidence updating after agreeing or disagreeing with peer feedback. Sleep deprivation consistently increased belief change, regardless of feedback type, and disrupted the stabilizing role of initial confidence. High-confidence beliefs, typically more resistant to revision, were more often changed when participants were sleep deprived. To examine confidence dynamics, Study 2 added a no-change block, where participants could adjust confidence, but not change beliefs. Here, sleep-deprived participants showed larger confidence drops, especially at high initial confidence. Moreover, stronger confidence drops in the no-change block predicted more frequent belief change when change was allowed. In sleep-deprived states, higher initial confidence no longer protected against strong confidence updating in response to peer feedback. Rather than simply increasing suggestibility, sleep deprivation undermines confidence-based mechanisms that normally regulate belief change.

Recent research has tested the related hypothesis of selective application of reasoning ability: Do those with greater reasoning ability selectively apply their greater ability to form interpretations of evidence that are more biased by their prior beliefs, compared to those with less ability? This research has found mixed results. We report the results of two preregistered experiments using a paradigm designed to directly test for the selective application of reasoning ability. We ask whether individuals with greater ability to evaluate scientific evidence quality selectively apply that ability when communicating about flawed evidence, depending upon whether the evidence is consistent or inconsistent with their beliefs. Across both experiments, we fail to find evidence for selective application of reasoning ability: higher ability participants' communications are generally biased by their prior beliefs, but no more biased than those of low-ability participants. Overall, high-ability participants generate communications that are generally more accurate and transparent than those of low-ability participants.

The present study aimed to understand factors influencing navigational map-based route learning. Effects of a map reading instruction and the role of individual differences in perspective taking ability and visuospatial working memory capacity were investigated, considering interactions between effects of instruction and individual differences. In addition, gaze patterns were recorded to gain insights into the map reading process. In 2023, N = 106 university students learned a predefined route from a digital map while their gaze patterns were recorded. Then, they navigated the route from memory in a virtual environment, while navigation errors were measured as an indication of route memory. A pretest-posttest design was deployed, and between pretest and posttest, participants in the instruction condition received specific map reading instructions, whereas participants in the control condition did not. Perspective taking ability and visuospatial working memory capacity predicted navigation performance. Although instructions did not significantly improve overall navigation performance, they had a small effect to reduce the impact of spatial abilities (aptitude-treatment interaction). In addition, a novel time-based gaze pattern analysis revealed that better performance was associated with a consistent reading strategy with fixations progressing continuously along the route toward the destination.
