Gray (Literature) Matters: Evidence of Selective Hypothesis Reporting in Social Psychological Research
Selective reporting practices (SRPs)—adding, dropping, or altering study elements when preparing reports for publication—are thought to increase false positives in scientific research. Yet analyses of SRPs have been limited to self-reports or analyses of pre-registered and published studies. To assess SRPs in social psychological research more broadly, we compared doctoral dissertations defended between 1999 and 2017 with the publications based o…
Making Moral Judgments: Psychological Perspectives on Morality, Ethics, and Decision-Making
This fascinating new book examines diversity in moral judgements, drawing on recent work in social, personality, and evolutionary psychology, reviewing the factors that influence the moral judgments people make.Why do reasonable people so often disagree when drawing distinctions between what is morally right and wrong? Even when individuals agree in their moral pronouncements, they may employ different standards, different comparative processes, …
Leading Through Conflict: Into the Fray
Effective leadership requires many skills, but foremost among them is the capacity to successfully deal with conflict. Any disruption that creates a lack of alignment can trigger the conflict cycle, s

A Meta‐Analytic Test of Redundancy and Relative Importance of the Dark Triad and Five‐Factor Model of Personality
We examined the relationships between M achiavellianism, narcissism, and psychopathy—the three traits of the D ark T riad ( DT )—and the F ive‐ F actor M odel ( FFM ) of personality. The review identified 310 independent samples drawn from 215 sources and yielded information pertaining to global trait relationships and facet‐level relationships. We used meta‐analysis to examine (a) the bivariate relations between the DT and the five global traits…

Social Influence and Group Behavior
The concept of social influence is the cornerstone of social psychology; people would not be social beings if they were not influenced by the actual, imagined, or implied presence of others. If humans were guided only by their personal interests and idiosyncratic goals, even the most simple of collaborative undertakings would end in failure. People must be sensitive to, make use of, and in many cases change in response to social influence. Early …

Interdependent Construal of Self and the Endorsement of Conflict Resolution Strategies in Interpersonal, Intergroup, and International Disputes
Intergroup relations are more competitive and discordant than relations between interacting individuals. Social identity theory suggests that this discontinuity should be greatest among individuals who identify strongly with their in-group. To test this prediction, students from countries with collectivistic and individualistic cultures completed a measure of self-construal. They were then asked to identify how they would respond to a conflict, e…
Achieving the Goals of the Scientist-Practitioner Model: The Seven Interfaces of Social and Counseling Psychology
Counseling psychology and social psychology have commingled theoretically and empirically for many years, but both fields have much to gain from a more complete integration across seven domains: educational (learning, teaching, and training), professional (relationships between researchers and practitioners), practical (integrated attempts to solve individual and societal problems), methodological (shared empirical procedures and standards), theo…

Is Gender-Biased Language Sexist? A Perceptual Approach
Two studies were conducted to define reactions to gender-biased language empirically. In the first study, respondents evaluated the sexism in a series of sentences that contained no bias, used such words as man or he in the generic sense, or referred to women in an unfair, stereotypical manner. In the second study, reactions were examined in a more naturalistic context by asking respondents to evaluate an essay written using all plural pronouns, …
Increasing Empathy through Participation in Structured Groups: Some Attributional Evidence
Increases in empathy produced by participation in a short-term empathy skills training group were assessed by contrasting trained and untrained individuals' attributions about salient and nonsalient stimulus persons. Although previous evidence suggests that empathy limits the observer's tendency to over-attribute behavior to personal rather than situational causes, trained subjects underestimated the impact of situational determinants on behavior…
Individual differences in information integration during moral judgment
An ethical ideologies model based on relativism and idealism was tested. Subjects judged the morality of an individual who produced a mildly or extremely positive or negative consequence by conforming to or violating a common moral norm. As predicted, an averaging model with differential weights accounted for situa-tionists ' (high relativism and idealism) and absolutists ' (low relativism and high idealism) judgments; conformity to norms was dis…
The Impact of Inhibiting or Facilitating Causal Factors on Group Members' Reactions After Success and Failure

Ethical ideology and judgments of social psychological research: Multidimensional analysis
Through multidimensional scaling three factors—potential subject harm, use of manipulative illegitimate procedures, and the ratio between benefits and risks— were identified as the key characteristics associated with moral judgments of social psychological studies. Individuals who endorsed different ethical ideologies, however, differed in their emphasis of these factors. Situationists emphasized risks relative to benefits and the potential for s…

The Functions of Attributions
Four functions that attributions fulfill for the attributor are catalogued and described. Explanatory attributions promote an understanding of the social world through implicit attribution theories; predictive attributions facilitate the development of expectations concerning the likelihood offuture events; egocentric attributions meet self needs and reduce anxiety; and interpersonal attributions provide for the communication of social identity i…
Self-presentational analysis of the effects of incentives on attitude change following counterattitudinal behavior
A self-presentational analysis of the forced compliance setting focuses on the predicament-creating aspects of Counterattitudinal actions and on the types of accounting tactics people use to excuse or justify events that threaten their identities before real or imagined audiences. The social meaning of monetary payments that are offered for the performance of Counterattitudinal actions should affect the nature of the predicament subjects confront…

Attributing the causes of group performance: Effects of performance quality, task importance, and future testing 1
A new wideband beam steering architecture for a receiver and transmitter is proposed. In this new interpolation based beam steering architecture (IBA), the number of true time delays can be dramatically reduced to 3 for a 2-dimensionaI array and 2 for a linear array independent of the number of array elements. While in conventional phased arrays, the number of phase shifters or time delays equals the number of antenna elements. This is achieved b…
