  • Discrimination in autism as measured by minimal group and sheer difference experiments

    Open AccessZachary Tan, Xizhuo Zou et al.ARTICLEBritish Journal of Psychology2026

    Autistic individuals often show fewer social biases than neurotypical people. Whether they show fewer discriminatory tendencies is however unclear. The present study examined discriminatory tendencies in autistic versus neurotypical individuals in the minimal group paradigm and the novel ‘sheer difference’ paradigm. Seventy‐five autistic and neurotypical participants were recruited for each group, totalling 150 participants. In the ‘sheer differe…

  • Exploring Attitudes Toward “Sugar Relationships” Across 87 Countries: A Global Perspective on Exchanges of Resources for Sex and Companionship

    Open AccessNorbert Mesko, Marta Kowal et al.ARTICLEArchives of Sexual Behavior2024

    The current study investigates attitudes toward one form of sex for resources: the so-called sugar relationships, which often involve exchanges of resources for sex and/or companionship. The present study examined associations among attitudes toward sugar relationships and relevant variables (e.g., sex, sociosexuality, gender inequality, parasitic exposure) in 69,924 participants across 87 countries. Two self-report measures of Acceptance of Suga…

  • Predictors of enhancing human physical attractiveness: Data from 93 countries

    Open AccessMarta Kowal, P Sorokowski et al.ARTICLEEvolution and Human Behavior2022

    People across the world and throughout history have gone to great lengths to enhance their physical appearance. Evolutionary psychologists and ethologists have largely attempted to explain this phenomenon via mating preferences and strategies. Here, we test one of the most popular evolutionary hypotheses for beauty-enhancing behaviors, drawn from mating market and parasite stress perspectives, in a large cross-cultural sample. We also test hypoth…

  • Comparative optimism about infection and recovery from Covid‐19; Implications for adherence with lockdown advice

    Open AccessKoula Asimakopoulou, Vera Hoorens et al.ARTICLEHealth Expectations2020

    BACKGROUND: Comparative optimism, the belief that negative events are more likely to happen to others rather than to oneself, is well established in health risk research. It is unknown, however, whether comparative optimism also permeates people's health expectations and potentially behaviour during the COVID-19 pandemic. OBJECTIVES: Data were collected through an international survey (N = 6485) exploring people's thoughts and psychosocial behavi…

  • Reframing social cognition: Relational versus representational mentalizing

    Eliane Deschrijver, Colin Palmer et al.ARTICLEPsychological Bulletin2020Cited by: 1

    The most dominant theory of human social cognition, the theory of mind hypothesis, emphasizes our ability to infer the mental states of others. After having represented the mental states of another person, however, we can also have an idea of how well our thinking aligns with theirs, and our sensitivity to this alignment may guide the flow of our social interactions. Here, we focus on the distinction between "mindreading" (inferring another's men…

  • Automatic imitation: A meta-analysis

    Emiel Cracco, Luciano Bardi et al.ARTICLEPsychological Bulletin2018Cited by: 3

    0.95, 95% CI [0.88, 1.02]. Moderator analyses identified automatic imitation as a flexible, largely automatic process that is driven by movement and effector compatibility, but is also influenced by spatial compatibility. Automatic imitation was found to be stronger for forced choice tasks than for simple response tasks, for human agents than for nonhuman agents, and for goalless actions than for goal-directed actions. However, it was not modulat…
