Why We Act
"From bullying on the playground to sexual harassment in the workplace, perfectly nice people often do perfectly awful things. But why? In this thoughtful and beautifully written book, Sanderson shows how basic principles of social psychology explain such behavior—and how they can be used to change it. A smart and practical guide to becoming a better and braver version of ourselves." —Daniel Gilbert, author of Stumbling on Happiness "Why do so ma…

The association between intimacy goals and plans for initiating dating relationships
This research examines the association between the strength of an individual’s intimacy goals in dating and preferences for dating partners, relationship initiation strategies, and contexts in which to pursue dating. Two studies demonstrate that intimacy goal strength positively corresponds with preferring partners who have strong intimacy and are warm and open, similar in attitudes and interests, and securely attached. The strength of intimacy g…
The link between the pursuit of intimacy goals and satisfaction in close same-sex friendships
This research examines whether individuals who are strongly focused on the pursuit of intimacy in their close same-sex friendships structure and interact in these relationships in distinct ways, and thereby experience greater relationship satisfaction. Study 1 examines the association between the pursuit of intimacy goals and patterns of interaction (e.g., time spent, social support exchanged, self-disclosure) as well as the perception of one's f…
Intimacy Goals and Strategies of Conflict Resolution in Dating Relationships
This research examined the associations among intimacy goals in dating, strategies for managing romantic conflict, and relationship satisfaction. One hundred and eighty-nine students completed a questionnaire assessing their intimacy goals and conflict resolution strategies in three distinct ways, namely responses to a general romantic conflict resolution scale, responses to specific hypothetical dating conflicts, and reactions to conflicts exper…
The Effectiveness of a Sexuality Education Newsletter in Influencing Teenagers’ Knowledge and Attitudes about Sexual Involvement and Drug Use
This study examined the effectiveness of a newsletter written by teenagers on sexual and health issues in changing knowledge and attitudes regarding sexual activity, condom use, and drug use. Four hundred and nineteen high school students completed a pretest, were given a copy of an eight-page newsletter on sexual and health issues to read as homework, and then completed a posttest during the next class period. Findings indicate that reading the …
Creating satisfaction in steady dating relationships
This research extends previous work indicating that individuals are more effective at regulating their behavior when they are in goal-congruent contexts by examining whether individuals particularly need concrete goal-relevant situational affordances once they are in these broadly affirming contexts. Specifically, the authors explore this issue by using the broad context of steady dating relationships (i.e., intimacy-relevant contexts), and consi…
Psychological and Behavioral Factors Predicting Attendance at a Community-based HIV Prevention Intervention
To date, virtualiy no research has addressed individuals' characteristics which influence their participation in prevention interventions targeting the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Identification of these characteristics is important, for no intervention is effective if not attended. This study explored stage of condom adoption and selected other psychological and behavioral factors, to determine which of these predicted attendance at a cl…
Community Standards for Defining Attempt
When should taking various steps toward the commission of a crime itself count as a crime? Different legal codes give remarkably different answers: The older common law criminalized individuals' attempts only if the steps had led the individual into dangerous proximity to successfully committing the crime, whereas the current Model Penal Code holds that an individual who has taken any substantial step toward committing a crime is liable. We prese…
Social dating goals in late adolescence
This research examined 2 age-typical goals that adolescents may pursue in social dating (intimacy goals related to open communication and mutual dependence and identity goals related to self-reliance and self-exploration) and the implications of these different goal sets for responsiveness to educational and daily life situations. Education about safer sexual activity that emphasized interpersonal communication skills was more effective in increa…
