Maintaining the Moral Self: Direct vs. Indirect Compensatory Consumption to Affirm the Moral Self after Threat

Description:

Morality has been viewed as a core aspect of the self and even a basic psychological need. Strategies for regulating threats to moral self-views may therefore be distinct from regulating threats to other self-aspects. Consistent with research on the regulation of basic psychological needs, I hypothesized that threats to the...

Two Ways to the Top? When and Why Dominance and Prestige Lead to Social Rank

Description:

Interpersonal hierarchies are one of the most fundamental structures by which human interactions are organized (Yu & Kilduff, 2019), and dual-strategies theory suggests that humans navigate these hierarchies through the use of dominance (force and coercion) or prestige (display of valued traits to gain respect; Maner & Case, 2016). In...

Verbal Entrainment and Correlated Neural Mechanisms in Autism Spectrum Disorder and First-Degree Relatives

Description:

Difficulties in prosody (e.g., intonation, volume, rate), turn-taking, and overly formal speech constitute common social communication deficits in autism spectrum disorder (ASD), which can significantly hinder social interactions (Paul et al., 2009). Subtle parallel differences in social communication have also been noted in parents of individuals with ASD, suggesting that...

Connect or Protect? Social Class and Self-Protection in Romantic Relationships

Description:

Lower-SES (socioeconomic status) couples tend to face more challenges in their relationships. Relative to higher-SES couples, they are less likely to marry, more likely to divorce, and less satisfied with their relationships—but they do not value their romantic relationships any less. Drawing on risk regulation theory and theories of social...

Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation as a Means of Improving Exposure Therapy Outcomes through Enhanced Retrieval Inhibition

Description:

Though cognitive behavioral techniques are generally effective in the treatment of anxiety disorders, some people fail to benefit from exposure therapy or experience a return of fear after terminating exposure therapy.

The optimization bias in inter-temporal decision-making

For example, prior research suggests that temporal factors make people susceptible to change their minds over time, and a confluence of cognitive...

The Dynamics of Aﬀect: Using Newtonian Mechanics, Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory, and the Cues-Tendencies-Actions Model to Simulate Individual Diﬀerences in Emotional Experience

Description:

Reinforcement sensitivity theory (RST) has enormous potential to become a paradigmatic model of individual diﬀerences. However, while its foundations in experimental genetic and neurophysiological research on nonhuman animals are among the strongest in personality psychology, it has perhaps not gained the foothold within the ﬁeld that it deserves. It is...
