Here, we demonstrated that such intrinsic sensitivity to walking direction could also modulate the direction perception of simultaneously presented dynamic stimuli. We showed that the perceived direction of apparent motion was biased towards the walking direction even though observers had been informed in advance that the walking direction of BM did not predict the apparent motion direction. In particular, rightward BM cues had an advantage over leftward BM cues in altering the perception of motion direction. Intriguingly, this perceptual bias disappeared when BM cues were shown inverted, or when the critical biological characteristics were removed from the cues. Critically, both the perceptual direction bias and the rightward advantage persisted even when only local BM cues were presented without any global configuration. Furthermore, the rightward advantage was found to be specific to social cues (i.e., BM), as it vanished when non-social cues (i.e., arrows) were utilized. Taken together, these findings support the existence of a specific processing mechanism for life motion signals and shed new light on their influences in a dynamic environment.</p>","PeriodicalId":9300,"journal":{"name":"British journal of psychology","volume":"115 1","pages":"115-128"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10068504","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}

However, tests of this model have tended not to consider traits related to immorality, incompetence, lack of assertiveness or coldness. This study addressed this issue by utilizing a within-subjects design in which participants were required to rate their respect and liking for individuals with specific trait types across four categories (moral; competence; assertiveness; and warmth) at three levels (positive, negative and neutral). The central tenets of the MAC model were supported for ‘positive’ traits (morality, competence, assertiveness and warmth). However, for ‘negative’ traits (immorality, incompetence and lack of assertiveness), individuals were similarly not liked and not respected. Individuals who were cold were respected more than liked. The findings of this study extend the MAC model by indicating that the amount that individuals are respected versus liked depends not only on trait type but also whether a trait is positive or negative.</p>","PeriodicalId":9300,"journal":{"name":"British journal of psychology","volume":"115 1","pages":"51-65"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/bjop.12677","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"10089533","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}

Here, we test if the attention window is indeed symmetrical with regard to its shape and resolution during peripheral vision. The results indicate that the position of those stimuli relative to the focus of attention influences the ability to identify a given set of stimuli. Specifically, stimuli presented to the left and top of the fixation point were more frequently identified correctly compared to those presented to the right bottom.

Factor analysis revealed that face-based first impression had the dimensions of capability and approachability, while voice-based first impression had capability, approachability and reliability.

{"title":"Editorial: Introducing the British Psychological Society Journals' landmark special issue on inequality","authors":"Katherine Berry","doi":"10.1111/bjop.12673","DOIUrl":"10.1111/bjop.12673","url":null,"abstract":"&lt;p&gt;As the Chair of Editorial Advisory Group for the British Psychological Society (BPS) Journals, I am delighted to present this special issue of landmark papers. Each paper within the collection is focused on the topic of inequality within the field of psychology, and one paper has been selected or commissioned by each Editor from all of the BPS portfolio journals. This is the third of the BPS journal's annual landmark editions. In keeping with our 2022 landmark edition on Diversity, we, as Editors, decided to present papers from our subdisciplines on another theme both relevant to society as whole and an area to which we feel psychological knowledge can bring understanding and therefore the potential for change.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Inequality refers to the unequal or unjust distribution of resources and opportunities amongst members of society. Inequality permeates throughout our world, on a global level between different countries but also on a more local level within countries, communities and organizations. Inequality can be overt or more subtle. It is influenced by a whole range of factors including race, gender, sexuality, disability, education, wealth and social class, and many of these factors feature within the papers from this edition.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The BPS as an organization and ourselves as BPS Journal Editors are committed to improving equality of access. The BPS aims to reduce inequality within the discipline and profession of psychology and to work to eradicate discriminatory practice. As Editors, we want to encourage submissions from researchers from non-Western countries, from Black and other ethnic minority groups, from women, from people with disabilities and others who have traditionally found it harder to succeed in the academic world. For us, reducing inequality means having editorial board members and peer reviewers from diverse backgrounds. We also use the process of double-blind peer review across our journals, and there is recent evidence that this process reduces bias and boosts diverse authorship (Fox et al., &lt;span&gt;2023&lt;/span&gt;). Furthermore, we want to continue to publish research on the topic of inequality and topics that are relevant to those who experience inequality in access.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;This is the third special issue of landmark papers from the BPS journals, and presenting these papers together showcases the breath of current psychological science. We believe that psychological science has the potential to develop understanding of inequality and therefore instigate change in thinking and practice towards embracing different influences and reducing the unequal opportunities that people face. We will have already identified a topic for 2024 focused on the United Nations Sustainability Goals, and we hope you will continue to read the work to inspire developments in your research and practice.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Finally, on behalf of myself and other Editors in Chief for the BPS journals, I would like to take this opportunity to thank those of you who hav","PeriodicalId":9300,"journal":{"name":"British journal of psychology","volume":"114 4","pages":"771-772"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/bjop.12673","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9763363","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}

Study 2 furthered the investigation by probing the relationship between neighbourhood temperature and civic engagement of 2268 U.S. citizens. The data partially supported the well-being mechanism and reported findings contradictory to the social embodiment mechanism.
