“Wait… we are the majority?”: Consequences of underestimating the bisexual population
Although, bisexual individuals comprise most of the LGBT community in the U.S. they report feeling invisible. Bisexual identity denial from out-group members is an established explanation for this effect, but we propose a novel explanation based on bisexuals’ own perceptions. Two studies examined perceptions of the composition of the LGBT+ group (i.e. the relative proportion of bisexual individuals). In Study 1 (N = 521), heterosexual, gay, lesbi…
Was gender really on the ballot? Examining sexism and voting behavior in the U.S. presidential election
Political observers proposed that gender was on the ballot in the 2024 US presidential election, in ways beyond just the candidates themselves. Ambivalent Sexism research (AS; Glick & Fiske, 2001) spans many domains but there is limited research examining its link to voting behavior in elections. This study aimed to contribute to the paucity of research on this topic by evaluating how ambivalent attitudes toward women and men, and the belief that…
Is It the (Sexist) Company You're Keeping? Examining the Connection Between Psychological Health and Perceptions of Sexism Endorsement in One's Personal Network
Ambivalent sexism theory proposes that people endorse both positive/benevolent and negative/hostile views towards both women and men. Although some work has examined the effects of endorsing these views, no work to date has examined whether the perceived sexist beliefs of one's personal network are connected to one's own psychological health. Using a sample of American adults ( N = 273), the current study used a novel methodology designed to asse…
Do I have to blame the perpetrator if I can't blame the victim anymore? Bystander responsibility in contact sexual violence scenarios
Sexual violence is far too common in the U.S. and across the world (Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 2014). Bystander interventions are one type of intervention that aim to reduce contact sexual violence incidence as well as other problematic features of sexual violence like victim blame. Despite bystander intervention popularity, research has yet to address what people think about bystanders themselves and if people blame them in sexua…
Is Seeing Believing? Hallmark Movie Viewership and Relationship Beliefs
The Hallmark Channel, a highly watched cable network, is known for its consistently idealistic portrayals of romantic relationships. Despite its popularity, no research has examined whether increased viewership of Hallmark movies covaries with endorsement of relationship beliefs. According to cultivation theory, what we watch impacts our beliefs and perceptions of reality. Additionally, the Differential Susceptibility to Media Effects Model (DSMM…

Can Rosenberg’s (1965) Stability of Self Scale capture within-person self-esteem variability? Meta-analytic validity and test–retest reliability
Social Influence and Personality
The study of social influence has been dominated by experimental methods that are not well suited to examine relationships between personality and social influence. Nevertheless, the existing research provided a basis for some tentative conclusions. In terms of susceptibility to influence, it appears that people who depend more on others for guidance are more susceptible to influence than those who depend less on others. Two specific manifestatio…
Caught in a “Bad Romance”? Reconsidering the Negative Association Between Sociosexuality and Relationship Functioning
Sociosexuality refers to individual differences in interest and willingness to engage in sexual activity without an emotional connection. Unrestricted sociosexuality is associated with a greater likelihood of infidelity and with poorer relationship quality. However, previous research has failed to examine relationship-specific characteristics that may moderate these findings. Two studies of romantically involved adults examined whether relationsh…
An investment model of sociosexuality, relationship satisfaction, and commitment: Evidence from dating, engaged, and newlywed couples
Relationship Duration Moderates Associations Between Attachment and Relationship Quality: Meta-Analytic Support for the Temporal Adult Romantic Attachment Model
Although research has examined associations between attachment dimensions and relationship outcomes, theory has ignored how these associations change over time in adult romantic relationships. We proposed the Temporal Adult Romantic Attachment (TARA) model, which predicts that the negative associations between anxious and avoidant attachment on one hand and relationship satisfaction and commitment on the other will be more negative as relationshi…
The brief aggression questionnaire: Psychometric and behavioral evidence for an efficient measure of trait aggression
A key problem facing aggression research is how to measure individual differences in aggression accurately and efficiently without sacrificing reliability or validity. Researchers are increasingly demanding brief measures of aggression for use in applied settings, field studies, pretest screening, longitudinal, and daily diary studies. The authors selected the three highest loading items from each of the Aggression Questionnaire's (Buss & Perry, …
The Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and the Mississippi Gulf Coast: Mental health in the context of a technological disaster
A significant percentage of disaster survivors experience negative psychological, physical, and social outcomes after a disaster. The current study advances the literature concerning the Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill (the Gulf Oil Spill) while addressing weaknesses of previous research. The current study includes a clinical sample of 1,119 adults receiving mental health services in the coastal counties of Mississippi after the Gulf Oil Spill. The l…
A Cross-Cultural Study of Relationships Between Daily Social Interaction and the Five-Factor Model of Personality: FFM and Daily Social Interaction
Two studies, one in the United States (N = 130) and another in Germany (N = 100), examined relationships between daily social interaction and the traits of the Five-Factor Model. In both studies, student participants described their social interactions for 2 weeks using the Rochester Interaction Record. In both countries, Agreeableness and Conscientiousness were positively related to reactions to social interaction, whereas Neuroticism was unrela…
Assessing AD/HD in College Students: Psychometric Properties of the Barkley Self-Report Form
The Barkley Current Symptoms Scale (BCSS)–Self-Report Form was designed to assess attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder. The purpose of the current study was to add to BCSS psychometric literature in a sample of university students. Comparisons with normative data are provided, and implications for these findings are offered

Blind jealousy? Romantic insecurity increases emotion-induced failures of visual perception
Does the influence of close relationships pervade so deeply as to impact visual awareness? Results from two experiments involving heterosexual romantic couples suggest that they do. Female partners from each couple performed a rapid detection task where negative emotional distractors typically disrupt visual awareness of subsequent targets; at the same time, their male partners rated attractiveness first of landscapes, then of photos of other wom…
Emotions in Everyday Social Encounters: Correspondence Between Culture and Self-Construal
Relationships between self-construal and emotion experiences in social interactions were examined in two countries. Participants in Greece (a more collectivist culture) and the United Kingdom (a more individualist culture) described the social interactions they had each day for 7 days using a variant of the Rochester Interaction Record. For UK participants, independent self-construal was positively related to positive affect, whereas for Greek pa…
In pursuit of 'good' sex: Self-determination and the sexual experience
Self-determination Theory posits that psychological wellbeing stems from feeling autonomous, competent, and related. Prior research has found that people report that, on days in which they perceive these needs are met, they have good days, as evidenced by both positive mood and fewer physical symptoms. The current research examined the relationship between satisfaction of these needs and sexuality, hypothesizing that having sexual interactions in…
Relationships between daily sexual interactions and domain-specific and general models of personality traits
Although sexuality is an important component of personal relationships, there has been relatively little research on relationships between personality and everyday sexual behavior. Moreover, existing research on sexual behavior and personality (defined in terms of the Five-Factor Model, FFM) has found weak and inconsistent relationships. We hypothesized that sexual behavior can be better understood in terms of a model of personality that focuses …
Different slopes for different folks: Self-esteem instability and gender as moderators of the relationship between self-esteem and attitudinal aggression
The present research examined the relationships among self-esteem level, temporal self-esteem instability, gender, and self-reported aggression. Self-esteem level was negatively related to attitudinal aggression, although this relationship varied as a joint function of self-esteem instability and gender. It was strongest among men with unstable self-esteem and among women with stable self-esteem. Although self-esteem instability and narcissism (S…
Social Identity in Daily Social Interaction
In a study of social identity in everyday social interaction, 133 undergraduates described their social interactions for two weeks using a variant of the Rochester Interaction Record. Some participants were members of campus social organizations and some were not, and descriptions of interactions included the social affiliation (identity) of the others who were present. Participants also completed measures of social dominance and self-construal. …
