Prior research on influencing strong attitudes has shown that using two-sided (vs. one-sided) messages can be more effective in producing attitude change. Although there is a long history of research examining two-sided persuasive messages, this has never been examined in the context of misinformation correction. Rather, misinformation correction messages are invariably one-sided. Across two studies (<em>N</em> = 869), we extend the outcome observed in the persuasion domain to the context of debunking misinformation. Study 1, focused on a widespread but incorrect political belief regarding the 2020 U.S. election, and a preregistered Study 2, examined the correction of misinformation regarding a health belief (i.e., FDA withholding cancer treatment). Both studies demonstrated that a two-sided (vs. one-sided) correction message became more effective as the strength of individuals' belief in the misinformation increased. People's openness to the two-sided correction message was driven by their enhanced appreciation of the source acknowledging their view and the source's credibility. This openness, in turn, was associated with more favorable beliefs in the correct information. Taken together, these findings demonstrate the effectiveness of using two-sided messages as a strategic tool for combating misinformation among those whose beliefs in the misinformation are strong.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48441,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Experimental Social Psychology","volume":"121 ","pages":"Article 104807"},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144713580","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}

So, how can prosociality, especially repeated acts of giving, be encouraged? Past research shows that receiving an expression of gratitude can promote prosocial behavior. However, existing work has focused on the benefits of receiving gratitude in comparison to receiving nothing, thereby leaving the content of gratitude expressions unexamined. Drawing upon past research demonstrating the benefits of identity-relevant appeals, we compare how two different gratitude expressions – one that references an individual's kind personality (i.e., <em>prosocial character</em>) and another that references an individual's kind actions (i.e., <em>prosocial action</em>) – impact future prosocial behavior in comparison to each other and to a no-gratitude control condition using two high-powered pre-registered studies. In both studies, participants (603 undergraduate students in Experiment 1; 876 online adult sample in Experiment 2) engaged in a prosocial task and were then randomly assigned to receive one of two gratitude expressions or a no-gratitude control condition. Afterwards, participants had the opportunity to help again. Comparing helping rates across conditions we found no significant differences among helping behavior in Experiment 1. However, in Experiment 2, results indicated that individuals who received an expression of gratitude, regardless of content, donated more than individuals that solely received an acknowledgement of their help. We interpret these findings as mixed support for gratitude's function as a moral reinforcer and consider why gratitude expressions referencing an individual's generous character vs. action may have had little impact.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48441,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Experimental Social Psychology","volume":"121 ","pages":"Article 104805"},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2025-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144722997","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}

Seven studies demonstrate that self-labeling more effectively reduces outgroup observers' perceptions of a label's negativity compared to label-rejection.

These effects generalize across multiple stigmatized groups and contexts (Studies 1a-d). Moreover, the effect of label-coping strategy on label negativity is mediated by observers' perceptions of the stigmatized group's control over the label (Study 2), while the effect of label-coping strategy on social costs is mediated by observers' experience of symbolic threat (Study 3).

Besides adding a color calibration phase in one condition, we extended the original design by varying the length of stimulus blocks presented in low or high color contrast. Contrary to previous findings, neither the level of perceptual fluency nor unexpected discrepancies in fluency affected truth judgments.

There are several, often simultaneous, mechanisms (e.g., social influence, shared environments) through which such links between social connection and similarity arise, including homophily, or the tendency for similar people to attract one another. While past research has found that people use similarity heuristics to structure their mental representations of social networks (predicting that friends are likely to be similar to each other), it is unknown if people assume such similarity arises through homophily, specifically. Here, we tested if people assume that homophily will shape their own and others' future friendships. Participants (<em>N</em><sub>Total</sub> = 560) learned how (i) trustworthy and (ii) trusting various partners were through repeated trust games. Participants predicted which partners would become friends with one another and which partners they would become friends with themselves if they were to meet in person. Across two studies and both trait measures, we found that participants were significantly more likely to predict that partners who behaved similarly would later become friends compared to those who behaved dissimilarly. Interestingly, we found that participants were significantly more likely to predict that they would become friends with highly trustworthy and highly trusting partners compared to highly untrustworthy or highly untrusting partners, regardless of their own behavioral tendencies or even their own self-perceptions.

Across four experiments (<em>N</em> = 1365), we examined how perceived norms and employee gender identity impact when pronoun-sharing practices shift perceptions of both the target employee and the organization. When all cisgender employee team members shared pronouns, both cisgender (Studies 1, 3–4) and gender minority participants (Study 2) perceived an employee's pronoun-sharing as more externally motivated and the employee as less likely to display LGBT+ allyship compared to when pronoun-sharing was not the organizational norm. Further, we document a <em>normative eclipsing effect</em>, where lower-level employees who engage in pronoun-sharing norms (relative to sharing without a norm) are perceived as having management who are more likely to engage in LGBT+ allyship and are met with greater procedural fairness expectations (Study 2–3). Results suggest that normative pronoun-sharing may boost favorable perceptions of organizations but not individual employees. Yet, when evidence-based cues of inclusion are present, such as the presence of nonbinary employees (Study 3–4), both employees and management who engage in pronoun sharing are viewed as more likely to engage in LGBT+ allyship, regardless of the pronoun-sharing norm.
