However, there is little empirical research that discusses it from a third-person perspective. In the current study, we examined whether body size serves as a cue from which Chinese participants infer others' forgivingness. Across five experiments, we examined the body-size-forgivingness association and, drawing on the Stereotype Content Model and Implicit Personality Theory, tested whether perceived warmth accounted for this association. Results showed that participants perceived higher weight (vs. lower weight) targets as more forgiving in an implicit association test (Experiment 1) and a slider rating task (Experiment 2). In a simulation where participants committed many errors, they preferred to invite higher weight targets rather than lower weight targets for cooperation because they thought that higher weight targets were more forgiving (Experiment 3). Additionally, compared to gluteal higher weight, abdominal higher weight was particularly linked to forgivingness (Experiment 4). Mediation analysis revealed that perceived warmth but not perceived competence mediated the effect of body size on perceived forgivingness (Experiment 5). These findings suggest that, among Chinese participants, body size can shape perceived forgivingness as a specific warmth-related moral inference.","PeriodicalId":9300,"journal":{"name":"British journal of psychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148381779","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, its impact on individuals' perceptions of their own humanity remains unexplored. We hypothesized that time poverty exacerbates self-dehumanization by undermining belief in free will. Across four studies (N = 994), we tested this hypothesis. Study 1 demonstrated a positive correlation between time poverty and self-dehumanization. Study 2 found that recalling a rushed experience heightened self-dehumanization compared with both the low and the control conditions. Study 3 employed a measurement-of-mediation approach to examine the mediating role of belief in free will, with Study 4 further establishing the causal mediation effect of belief in free will through a manipulation-of-mediator design. Notably, these effects persisted after controlling for potential confounds, including scarcity-related factors (financial poverty, perceived socioeconomic status, objective time poverty and low social connectedness), an individual-difference factor (money prioritization) and an affective factor (general mood). These findings illuminate the unforeseen psychological costs of an accelerated lifestyle, emphasizing the profound impact of time poverty on self-perceptions.","PeriodicalId":9300,"journal":{"name":"British journal of psychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148343904","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}

While neurobiological evidence suggests that affective states are inherently dynamic, research on mood induction has paid little attention to the evolving trajectories of induced moods. This study examined how the effect of mood induction unfolds over time in visual and auditory modalities, using both implicit and explicit measures. The results revealed temporal dynamics of affective states following the mood induction in a manner mainly dependent on the induced mood and the measurement type. Specifically, fear induction persistently elevated explicit negative affective states, with this persistence linked to individual depression trait. In contrast, happy induction produced comparable effects on both implicit and explicit positive states, but these effects diminished rapidly within 10 min. These observations demonstrate modality-independent patterns of mood induction across visual and auditory domains and highlight the dissociation between implicit and explicit measures in tracking affective changes over time. The study underscores the importance of analysing these temporal trajectories to better understand the functional output of neural affective regulation circuits, likely contributing to the development of more nuanced frameworks for affective research and of more personalized coping strategies to enhance affective well-being.","PeriodicalId":9300,"journal":{"name":"British journal of psychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-06-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148306973","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}

Drawing on compensatory control theory, we propose that time poverty promotes minimalistic consumption through heightened need for order. Three experimental studies (N = 660) provide evidence. Studies 1 and 2 suggest that time poverty causally increases preference for minimalistic consumption, particularly sparse aesthetics and limited possessions, mediated by need for order (Study 1 and 2) rather than alternative mechanisms such as need for relaxation (Study 2). Study 3 shows that exposure to minimalist environments attenuates the heightened need for order among time-poor consumers, consistent with minimalism's compensatory function. These findings challenge the assumption that resource scarcity uniformly drives acquisition, revealing that temporal scarcity can promote consumption reduction through compensatory control. Our research advances understanding of time poverty's consequences, identifies a novel driver of minimalistic consumption, and reveals need for order as the key mechanism, offering insights for designing products that address the psychological needs of time-poor consumers.","PeriodicalId":9300,"journal":{"name":"British journal of psychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-06-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148270652","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}

Drawing on scarcity theory, we examine how time poverty shapes preferences for access-based consumption (ABC) - temporary use without ownership - a market-mediated model transforming consumer societies worldwide. Across four studies (N = 831), we show that time poverty significantly increases ABC preferences through dual mechanisms: amplified convenience orientation while attenuated risk perception. Study 1 established the causal effect of experimentally induced time poverty on ABC preference. Study 2 demonstrated that both mediators independently explain this relationship. Studies 3a and 3b provided convergent causal evidence: experimentally enhancing each mediator significantly attenuated the time-poverty effect on ABC preference while controlling for financial scarcity, general sense of scarcity, and construal level. Together, these dual pathways - heightened convenience-seeking coupled with diminished risk sensitivity - indicate that time-poor consumers may systematically trade risk evaluation for efficiency in ABC decisions. These findings illuminate the psychological forces driving major shifts in contemporary consumption practice and carry implications for consumer welfare and public policy in increasingly time-constrained societies.","PeriodicalId":9300,"journal":{"name":"British journal of psychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.6,"publicationDate":"2026-06-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148263230","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}

Analysing 32,042 Sina Weibo posts from China's early COVID-19 outbreak, we examined collectivistic language and emotional expression across three geographical zones and temporal periods. Results revealed 'proximal concentration' at the epicentre of the outbreak, characterized by heightened family/community expressions and reduced abstract rhetoric. In contrast, 'distal amplification' was found in peripheral regions. Furthermore, we found a psychological typhoon eye effect in people's cultural expressions such that responses in the epicentre showed increasing positive emotion despite the greatest threat. Critically, ecological levels displayed opposing emotional associations such that microsystem pronouns and macrosystem values were positively associated with positive emotions, while exosystem national identity and mesosystem family/community were negatively associated. These findings suggest collectivism reconfigures through level-specific activation with divergent emotional consequences, highlighting potential limitations of unidimensional cultural frameworks, as aggregated collectivism can mask observing these heterogeneous responses.","PeriodicalId":9300,"journal":{"name":"British journal of psychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2026-06-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148197315","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}

Visual form perception has been assumed to be fundamental for both processing, but little empirical evidence has been found for the involvement of visual form perception in numerosity processing and arithmetic performance. The current investigation will examine whether individual dependence on visual properties in numerosity processing can account for substantial variation in arithmetic performance. A total of 6329 participants aged 6 to 87 years old were recruited and divided into nine age groups. The results showed that the total contour/perimeter dominates the numerosity processing for participants in each of the nine age groups. At the individual level, the dependence of total contour/perimeter in numerosity processing indexed by the regression coefficient was larger than the dependence of other visual properties. Importantly, the dependence of total contour/perimeter consistently contributed to the arithmetic performance in each age group. The score for figure matching fully accounted for the contribution of the dependence of total contour/perimeter to arithmetic performance. The findings convergently suggest that the extraction of contour information in dot arrays is fundamental for both numerosity processing and arithmetic performance, which may stem from the shared visual form processing.","PeriodicalId":9300,"journal":{"name":"British journal of psychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2026-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148175379","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}

While past research has primarily investigated the effect of bottom-up voice acoustic on social voice judgements, here we widen the perspective and investigate how bottom-up acoustic and top-down interpersonal similarity interactively influence social voice judgements. We quantified acoustic distance to an average voice as a measure of acoustic typicality and combined this with interpersonal similarity between each listener-speaker pair derived from Big Five personality traits. 110 listeners rated 30 words spoken by female speakers on attractiveness, likability, trustworthiness, and dominance, and data were analysed using Generalised Additive Mixed Models to capture nonlinear and interactive effects. Across social dimensions, acoustic typicality emerged as the strongest predictor of social judgements, with more typical voices receiving the most positive ratings. However, social judgements were not determined by acoustic cues alone. For attractiveness, likability and trustworthiness, similar personalities between speaker and listener enhanced social evaluations, particularly for acoustically atypical voices. In contrast, dominance judgements were exclusively explained by acoustic typicality without significant modulation by interpersonal similarity. Together, these results show that most social voice judgements arises from a dyadic, context-sensitive integration of acoustic information and interpersonal similarity.","PeriodicalId":9300,"journal":{"name":"British journal of psychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2026-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148155430","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, few human studies have empirically examined the association between chronic stress and reward learning, which is critical for navigating uncertain environments. This study addressed this gap by examining whether chronic stress is associated with the influence of Pavlovian bias on instrumental reward learning. A total of 111 healthy young adults participated in the study, completing an orthogonalised go/no-go task and a self-reported measure of chronic stress. Participants' chronic stress levels exhibited an inverted-U-shaped relationship with learning accuracy in the Pavlovian-conflict condition, particularly in the reward domain. Between-group analyses supported this pattern, with the moderate-stress group performing best in the Pavlovian-conflict condition of the reward domain. Computational modelling results further revealed that, compared to the moderate-stress group, the low- and high-stress groups exhibited greater reward-related Pavlovian bias and the high-stress group exhibited blunted reward sensitivity. Together, these findings suggest that the association between chronic stress and reward learning may be nonlinear. Moderate levels of chronic stress may be associated with relatively better performance in specific reward-learning contexts.","PeriodicalId":9300,"journal":{"name":"British journal of psychology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2026-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148136858","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}
