Evaluating Faces on Trustworthiness After Minimal Time Exposure

Todorov, Alexander; Pakrashi, Manish; Oosterhof, Nikolaas N.

2009 Social Cognition

doi:10.1521/soco.2009.27.6.813

Previous studies have shown that trustworthiness judgments from facial appearance approximate general valence evaluation of faces (Oosterhof & Todorov, 2008) and are made after as little as 100 ms exposure to novel faces (Willis & Todorov, 2006). In Experiment 1, using better masking procedures...

Valence-Dependent Self-Scrutiny in Judgments of Event Impact

Smallman, Rachel; Roese, Neal J.

2009 Social Cognition

doi:10.1521/soco.2009.27.6.834

How do people judge the impact of events on themselves? We found evidence for valence-dependent self-scrutiny, such that people consider the interplay between an event and self-attributes more systematically when the event is positive than when negative. In Experiment 1, participants evaluated...

Contingent Self-Worth and Social Information Processing: Cognitive Associations Between Domain Performance and Social Relations

vanDellen, Michelle R.; Hoy, Melanie B.; Hoyle, Rick H.

2009 Social Cognition

doi:10.1521/soco.2009.27.6.847

The purpose of the research was to investigate the social information processing patterns of individuals with domain-contingent self-worth. We proposed that individuals with domain-contingent self-worth would associate cognitions about outcomes in that domain with cognitions about social...

Effects of Time Frame on the Relationship Between Source Monitoring Errors and Attitude Change

Frye, G. D. Jay; Lord, Charles G.

2009 Social Cognition

doi:10.1521/soco.2009.27.6.867

One way to change attitudes is to induce people to act as though they already have the desired attitude. Another way is to induce people to imagine taking attitude-relevant actions. People who imagine taking an action sometimes forget whether they did it or only imagined it–a source monitoring...

Downright Sexy: Verticality, Implicit Power, and Perceived Physical Attractiveness

Meier, Brian P.; Dionne, Sarah

2009 Social Cognition

doi:10.1521/soco.2009.27.6.883

Grounded theory proposes that abstract concepts (e.g., power) are represented by perceptions of vertical space (e.g., up is powerful; down is powerless). We used this theory to examine predictions made by evolutionary psychologists who suggest that desirable males are those who have status and...

Intergroup Influences on the Stereotype Consistency Bias in Communication: Does it Matter Who We Are Communicating About and to Whom We Are Communicating?

Kurz, Tim; Lyons, Anthony

2009 Social Cognition

doi:10.1521/soco.2009.27.6.893

Past research in the area of stereotype communication has shown, using various paradigms, a reliable bias toward the communication of stereotype consistent information over stereotype inconsistent information (a stereotype consistency bias ). One aspect of such communication that has received...

Competition Between Unconditioned Stimuli in Attitude Formation: Negative Asymmetry versus Spatio-Temporal Contiguity

Rydell, Robert J.; Jones, Christopher R.

2009 Social Cognition

doi:10.1521/soco.2009.27.6.905

Evaluative conditioning (EC) occurs when a neutral stimulus (conditioned stimulus, CS) takes on the valence of a stimulus with which it is paired (unconditioned stimulus, US). The current work sought to examine, when two USs were sequentially paired with the same CS, what factors lead to the CS...

Causal Uncertainty and Stereotype Avoidance: The Role of Perceived Category Fit

Tobin, Stephanie J.; Weary, Gifford; Brunner, Ryan P.; Gonzalez, Jessica; Han, H. Anna

2009 Social Cognition

doi:10.1521/soco.2009.27.6.917

Past research has found that high levels of causal uncertainty (CU) are associated with less reliance on available stereotypes. In the current research, we examined lack of category fit and a consequent movement along the impression formation continuum as the underlying process. Participants who...

Quantity and Proximity: The Terror-Managing Function of Abstract Figures

Renkema, Lennart J.; Stapel, Diederik A.; Van Yperen, Nico W.

2009 Social Cognition

doi:10.1521/soco.2009.27.6.929

Terror Management Theory (TMT) has proven valuable for interpreting and clarifying responses to (mortality) threats. One of the key findings in TMT research is that people tend to cling more to groups, in particular their ingroup, when mortality is salient. In the present studies, we extend this...

The Efficiency of Social Comparisons With Routine Standards

Corcoran, Katja; Mussweiler, Thomas

2009 Social Cognition

doi:10.1521/soco.2009.27.6.939

People engage in social comparison to obtain self-knowledge, but because of scarce cognitive resources they have to compare efficiently. In our research, we demonstrate that comparisons with routine standards are faster and hence more efficient than comparisons with other standards. Routine...
