However, the underlying psychological processes and thus the extent to which statistical expectations and moral evaluations contribute to this prototype effect remain underexplored. In a series of four experiments, we investigated how expectations about discrimination and moral judgments about the wrongness of discrimination modulate the prototype effect. Our findings suggest that statistical expectations strongly influence the prototype effect independently of moral wrongness. In contrast, moral wrongness, while theoretically plausible, had a much smaller empirical impact on the prototype effect under our experimental conditions. These results suggest that the prototype effect in discrimination perception is driven by expectations, while the role of moral evaluations is at least secondary and requires additional research. This insight has important implications for understanding discrimination perception and offers new directions for research into the cognitive processes underlying discrimination judgments.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48441,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Experimental Social Psychology","volume":"118 ","pages":"Article 104731"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143077781","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In the current work, we examine whether people think politicians should exhibit IH and how this might depend on context. In preregistered Study 1 (<em>N</em> = 477), participants read about and reported their ideal level of IH for a fictional ingroup or outgroup politician in contexts that were either cooperative or competitive. Across both contexts, participants thought outgroup politicians should have higher IH than ingroup politicians. They also thought ingroup (and to a lesser extent outgroup) politicians should have higher IH in cooperative than competitive contexts. In preregistered Study 2 (<em>N</em> = 843), we randomly assigned participants to read about a fictional ingroup or outgroup politician who expressed high or low IH in different contexts. We found that perceptions of IH played a significant role in perceptions of competence, warmth, and intention to vote for the politician. However, the impact of IH was larger for outgroup politicians than ingroup politicians, with the exception of voting intentions. We also asked participants to report their ideal and perceived level of IH for then-presidential candidates Joe Biden and Donald Trump. We found an intergroup bias in that participants perceived the ingroup candidate as having higher IH than the outgroup candidate. Importantly, perceptions of IH significantly predicted voting intentions for these politicians. Overall, this work points to the importance and nuanced role of IH in political person perception.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48441,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Experimental Social Psychology","volume":"118 ","pages":"Article 104729"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143049748","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Over three two-week waves of data collection, with the shooting happening in the middle of the second wave, we measured students' general beliefs about the world (their <em>primal world beliefs</em>), daily physical movement, the activities they were doing, how typical those activities were, and how close participants felt to the people they were with.

After the shooting, but not before, s<em>afe</em> world belief predicted how much people physically explored their environment, and <em>enticing</em> world belief predicted how varied a person's activities were.

The current work utilized an ease of retrieval manipulation to reduce stepparent role clarity across two studies of stepparents (total <em>N</em> = 545). Manipulated role clarity predicted reduced self-concept clarity, personal well-being evaluations, romantic relationship evaluations, and quality of stepparent-stepchild relationships. Furthermore, reduced role clarity mediated direct associations between the manipulation and outcomes of interest.

An important question is whether a subsequent extinction phase where the CS is presented without the US extinguishes such evaluative conditioning (EC) effects. In this regard, it is crucial to consider that an extinction procedure involves repeated exposure to the CS that is known to influence evaluations due to exposure-induced increases in processing fluency. However, it is unclear whether exposure-induced changes in CS liking occur during extinction and hence bias observed extinction effects. In three experiments (<em>N</em><sub>Experiment1</sub> = 301, <em>N</em><sub>Experiment2</sub> = 296, <em>N</em><sub>Experiment3</sub> = 560), with pictures and words as stimuli, we observed that repeated CS-only presentations after conditioning increased CS processing fluency. Moreover, CS-only presentations also increased CS liking, but only when participants had previously evaluated stimulus fluency. When controlling for mere exposure effects on liking, we observed extinction of EC only when participants evaluated the CSs both post-conditioning and post-extinction, replicating previous findings.

For example, an interaction partner's trustworthiness determines whose advice we act on in learning contexts, whom we choose to invest in during economic decisions, or even whom we decide to cooperate with. However, how perceived trustworthiness influences advice following in value-based decision-making when the trustworthiness manipulation is independent of the quality of the advice remains poorly understood. In two experiments, participants played a modified version of The Door Game, selecting one out of two doors to find a reward based on advisor's advice. The advisors were computer-generated faces categorised as trustworthy or untrustworthy, with identical advice validity (66 %). In Experiment 1 (<em>N</em> = 124), participants initially followed advice from perceived trustworthy advisors more frequently, but this effect disappeared by the end of the experiment. In our preregistered replication (Experiment 2, <em>N</em> = 300), we observed a similar pattern, confirming the findings of Experiment 1. In a third preregistered experiment (<em>N</em> = 85), participants rated the trustworthiness of each face. We used these ratings as an independent variable to reanalyse the advice following rates from Experiments 1 and 2. The results were identical as with our categorical analyses. Moreover, a mediation analysis revealed that trustworthiness ratings mediated the relationship between perceived trustworthiness and advice following. Overall, our findings underscore the importance of social information such as perceived trustworthiness in value-based decision-making and its dynamic nature, which is potentially explained by changes in the decision-making strategy, or by rapid adjustments of our trust beliefs.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48441,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Experimental Social Psychology","volume":"118 ","pages":"Article 104719"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142990264","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
