Moral Judgement on the Use of Market System Ideology in Social Domains
The current study examined whether people would make moral judgements on the use of money to solve a societal issue. We employed real‐life examples described by Sandel (2012) and utilised deontological and utilitarian moral views and moral foundations theory to address their reasoning for moral judgements. College students ( N = 303 in Study 1 and N = 98 in Study 2) were asked to read the events regarding the use of monetary value and to make mor…
Role of Hostile and Benevolent Sexism in Shaping Prejudice Against Working Women in the United States and Pakistan
This study aimed to examine cultural differences between the United States and Pakistan on prejudice against working women, including employment skepticism and traditional role preference. Another purpose of the study was to assess how social dominance orientation (SDO), hostile sexism, and benevolent sexism explain the prejudice against working women. This study collected data online from a sample of 289 working women including N = 152 from the …
Acculturative Stress and Sociocultural Adaptation of International Students in the United States
Research has shown that acculturative stress and social support are important factors for sociocultural adaptation. To assess whether these phenomena extend to international students, the purpose of the current study was to examine the role of acculturative stress and social support on the sociocultural adaptation of international students who are enrolled in higher education institutions in the United States. The current study further examined t…
Dying for help: How mortality salience impacts perceptions of victims
Terror Management Theory posits that reminders of mortality increase support for cultural values and negative views toward transgressors. However, little research has investigated how mortality salience can influence individuals' perceptions of victims who have suffered differing moral misfortune types. This study explored how mortality salience and moral misfortune types affect the perceptions of victims. One hundred forty-three participants wer…
Personal freedom, family compositions and well‐being
Personal freedom has known to be positively associated with well‐being. As socioeconomic conditions advanced in modern societies, the pursuit of personal freedom has also gradually increased. This trend further coincides with the decline in marriage and fertility rates. This implies that the pursuit of personal freedom could be related to lower involvement with the family. The current study examined how personal freedom would be related to family…
Disclosure Writing with the Use of Manipulating Writing Instructions: A Disclosure Writing Study
It is well known that writing about traumatic life events has both physical and psychological long term benefits. James Pennebaker and his colleagues (Pennebaker, Mayne, & Francis, 1997; Pennebaker & Seagal, 1999) suggested that both negative and positive disclosure writing instructions could be useful in understanding positive life events, not only the negative life events. The purpose of this study is to experimentally investigate the order in …
The Effect of Group Polarization on Opposition to Donald Trump
Using focus groups, we examined support and opposition for Donald Trump prior to the 2016 presidential election. When ingroup members participate in discussion, this conversation alone typically strengthens and intensifies members’ initial attitudes. We used a pre‐ to post‐focus‐group questionnaire to assess attitudes toward Trump, his campaign, and policies. We argue that group polarization influenced people’s opinions about Trump such that atti…
Justice and the Natural World: What Do We Care
The current study employed a novel approach to understanding the intricate relationship between humans and the natural environment. Cognitive and affective responses to adverse events involving humans, other living things, and natural and human-made objects were quantified with a newly developed measure—the cognitive-affective-response-evaluation (CARE). Results indicated a response bias toward human-related events: Participants were more upset a…
Willingness to use ADHD treatments: A mixed methods study of perceptions by adolescents, parents, health professionals and teachers
The Syntax of Defection and Cooperation: The Effects of the Implicit Sentences Nice Act Versus Act Nice on Behavior Change
The syntactic organization of incidentally presented word pairs may affect behavior by providing actors with implicit propositions about how to behave. In Experiment 1, participants who had already played turns of a mixed-motive game were less cooperative after an explicit propositional suggestion that they had been nice in prior turns but were more cooperative after the suggestion that they should be nice in upcoming turns. In three subsequent e…
Increasing and decreasing motor and cognitive output: A model of general action and inaction goals
General action and inaction goals can influence the amount of motor or cognitive output irrespective of the type of behavior in question, with the same stimuli producing trivial and important motor and cognitive manifestations normally viewed as parts of different systems. A series of experiments examined the effects of instilling general action and inaction goals using word primes, such as "action" and "rest." The first 5 experiments showed that…
Mutual Self-Enhancement in Japan and the United States
The authors address the debate on pancultural self-enhancement by suggesting that some Japanese enhance their self-worth by praising and receiving praise from others included in the self. The authors call this process "mutual self-enhancement" and validated a scale for its measurement in Japan and the United States. Mutual self-enhancement was positively correlated with including others in the self, relational self-construal, family support, and …
