Some Evidence That Truth-Tellers Are More Attractive Than Liars
Despite the prevalence of deception, people rarely doubt others’ sincerity. However, indirect evaluations of liars and truth-tellers may differ even in the absence of suspicion about veracity. Across three studies, we provide evidence for the truth attraction effect in two samples of target stimuli and three samples of participant judges. Target people are perceived as more attractive when telling the truth versus when they lie, an effect mediate…
A Structural Model of Social Determinants of the Metabolic Syndrome
Neither race nor self-reported racial discrimination had direct effects on MetS level in our structural model. The large effects of socioeconomic position and male gender were not mediated by the other variables in the model
Follow your gut? Emotional intelligence moderates the association between physiologically measured somatic markers and risk-taking
Emotional Intelligence (EI) is a set of adaptive skills that involve emotions and emotional information. Prior research suggests that lower EI individuals behave maladaptively in social situations compared to higher EI individuals. However, there is a paucity of research on whether EI promotes adaptive decision-making. Leveraging the somatic marker hypothesis, we explore whether EI moderates the relationship between skin conductance responses (SC…
Different physiological reactions when observing lies versus truths: Initial evidence and an intervention to enhance accuracy
Humans consistently face the challenge of discerning liars from truth-tellers. Hundreds of studies in which observers judge the veracity of laboratory-created lies and truths suggest that this is a difficult task; in this context, lie-detection accuracy is notoriously poor. Challenging these findings and traditional methodologies in lie-detection research, we draw upon the somatic marker hypothesis and research on interoception to find that: (a) …
Accuracy of Judging Affect and Accuracy of Judging Personality: How and When Are They Related
OBJECTIVES: The present research is concerned with the relation between accuracy in judging targets' affective states and accuracy in judging the same targets' personality traits. In two studies, we test the link between these two types of accuracy with the prediction that accuracy of judging traits and of judging states will be associated when fundamental affective qualities are shared. METHOD: In Study 1, affective states and personality traits…
Testosterone’s Negative Relationship With Empathic Accuracy and Perceived Leadership Ability
Two studies examine the relationship between naturally occurring levels of circulating testosterone and empathic accuracy. In Study 1, the authors find that higher endogenous levels of testosterone are negatively related to the accuracy with which people infer the thoughts and feelings of others. In Study 2, the authors use 360 data collected in the field to show that individuals with higher levels of endogenous testosterone are evaluated by thei…
The Circumplex Structure of Affective Social Behavior
The authors extended the circumplex structure of emotion to naturally unfolding affective social behaviors. The emotion circumplex describes the circular spacing of emotions and has been harvested from covariation patterns among emotion words, self-reported emotional experience, and judgments of posed facial expression. The distance between emotions is a function of two orthogonal dimensions referred to as valence and arousal. In the present stud…
Power Posing: Brief Nonverbal Displays Affect Neuroendocrine Levels and Risk Tolerance
Humans and other animals express power through open, expansive postures, and they express powerlessness through closed, contractive postures. But can these postures actually cause power? The results of this study confirmed our prediction that posing in high-power nonverbal displays (as opposed to low-power nonverbal displays) would cause neuroendocrine and behavioral changes for both male and female participants: High-power posers experienced ele…

Implicit Measures Reveal Evidence of Personal Discrimination
A well-known result, the person–group discrimination discrepancy (PGDD), shows that members of disadvantaged groups believe that other members of their social groups are discriminated against, but that they themselves are not. In this paper, we test whether this explicit self-protective strategy is also obtained on indirect measures of personal discrimination. Three experiments, using both explicit (self-\nreport) and implicit (IAT) measures of d…
Combining Explicit and Implicit Measures of Racial Discrimination in Health Research
Our results suggest that the scientific rigor of research on racism and health will be improved by investigating how both unconscious and conscious mental awareness of having experienced discrimination matter for somatic and mental health
The Secret Lives of Liberals and Conservatives: Personality Profiles, Interaction Styles, and the Things They Leave Behind
Although skeptics continue to doubt that most people are "ideological," evidence suggests that meaningful left-right differences do exist and that they may be rooted in basic personality dispositions, that is, relatively stable individual differences in psychological needs, motives, and orientations toward the world. Seventy-five years of theory and research on personality and political orientation has produced a long list of dispositions, traits…

On the varieties of asymmetrical dependency: Feelings, motives, behavior, and accuracy in a dyadic interaction
Asymmetrical outcome dependency (AOD) has been theorized to produce feelings of powerlessness and anxiety, as well as a heightened motive to be interpersonally accurate. Thus far, the research on AOD has been conducted mainly among participants who were anticipating an outcome‐dependent interaction. Using both self‐report and behavioral measures, the present research investigated the feelings, motives, behavior, and interpersonal accuracy of part…

It takes one to know one: Interpersonal sensitivity is related to accurate assessments of others' interpersonal sensitivity
Interpersonal sensitivity (emotional and social) is the ability to accurately assess others' abilities, states, and traits from nonverbal cues. The authors predicted that individuals' interpersonal sensitivity would be related to accurate judgments of friends' interpersonal sensitivity. Fifty participants were recruited, each bringing a friend to participate in performance-based, self-report, and other-rating measures of emotional and social sens…
