Effects of Psychological Distance on Mental Abstraction
Construal-level theory (CLT) proposes that psychological distance influences the level of abstraction at which something is mentally construed: Things perceived as less probable (likelihood) or further away from the here (spatial distance), now (temporal distance), or self (social distance) are thought about more abstractly. In this international multilab study, we tested four basic hypotheses derived from core assumptions of CLT and explore pote…
Action and abstraction
Can the body shape meaning? Eight experiments (four preregistered) tested whether interfering with the motor system changes how people interpret language about actions. Participants (total N = 880) rhythmically moved their hands or feet while being presented with sentences describing hand or foot actions (e.g., “scoring a goal in soccer”) and asked to choose between two interpretations of their meaning: one more concrete (e.g., ”kicking a ball“) …
Do People Think Abstractly Inside Cathedrals? The Role of Place Size and Religiosity on Construal Level
This registered report (N = 2,466; >90% power to detect d ≥ 0.13) tested whether imagining oneself in large and religious places, such as cathedrals, promotes abstract thinking. Participants imagined themselves in one of the four experimental scenarios varying in size (large vs. small) and type (religious vs. secular), wrote about their imagined experience there, and completed validated measures assessing abstraction (neutral vs. religious conten…
Can the lateral mental timeline be automatically activated in language comprehension
Significant lateral space–time congruency effects in explicit (time-relevant) task. • Non-significant congruency effects in implicit task (lexical decision). • Same findings in keypresses, mouse trajectories, and long lateral movements. • We report the first confirmatory (preregistered) study in this debate. • The lateral mental timeline is not automatically activated in lexical decision. The mental representation of time recruits spatial represe…
Does Body‐Specificity Stand on Solid Ground? Z ‐Curving the Association Between Emotional Valence and Lateral Space
The body‐specificity hypothesis proposes that people with different bodies should also have different conceptual systems. The test case of this hypothesis has been the association of emotional valence (good vs. bad) with lateral space (left vs. right) in people of different handedness. As expected, right‐handers tend to associate the good with the right space, whereas left‐handers show the opposite association. This body‐specific effect has been …
Les dimensions de la révolte en Argentine à la lumière de l'expérience des mouvements de quartier et de travailleurs sans emploi
La crise argentine de 2001 a été le terreau de nombreuses expérimentations politiques, qui ne se limitent pas aux mouvements piqueteros : «récupération» d'usines, assemblées populaires, expériences éducatives, etc. Ces expériences ont en commun le désir de dépasser l'aspect revendicatif. Elles se sont articulées (et, pour certaines, s'articulent encore) autour d'espaces, conçus comme horizontaux, d'expérimentations. En ce sens, elles rappellent q…
