The Cultural Negotiation of Publics–Science Relations
Understanding the intersections of science and publics has led to research on how diverse publics interpret scientific information and form positions on science-related issues. Research demonstrates that attitudes toward science, political and religious orientation, and other social factors affect adult interactions with science, which has implications for how adults influence K-12 STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics) educatio…
Binds and bounds of communion
Assumed similarity refers to ascribing similar attributes to the self and others. Because self-other similarity facilitates communion, people who value communion should be prone to assume self-other similarity; but because self-other similarity also evokes obligation, they may be prone to assume similarity only with others with whom they are or would feel comfortable being interconnected. We tested these hypotheses in 5 studies (total N = 1,709).…
Tomboy as Protective Identity
The tomboy in contemporary U.S. culture is a complex identity, providing meaning to many girls and women. In this article, we argue tomboy as a gendered social identity also provides temporary "protections" to girls and women in three main ways. First, tomboy identity can excuse masculine-typed behavior in girls and women and, in doing so, protect women from presumptions about sexual reputation and sexual orientation. Second, tomboy identities ca…
Language and Persuasion
The present studies explore the role of linguistic extremity on message processing, persuasion, and behavioral intentions. Past research has found that the use of intense language has led to increases in attitude-behavior consistency. The authors present research that suggests that one reason for these effects is because linguistic extremity increases message processing, a common antecedent to attitude strength. Across two studies, linguistic ext…
A Mixed Methods Approach to Measuring Depth of Group Information Processing in the Context of Deliberative Public Involvement
This article presents a mixed methods procedure for evaluating information processing and the role of social influences in deliberative public involvement groups. Specifically, it describes an interpretive, qualitative coding scheme for analyzing group discussions to quantitatively assess how group differences in information processing and social influences affect decision judgments. To substantiate the need for this new approach, the contributio…
Powerless Language Markers and the Correspondence Bias
The present research examines the effect of tag questions and hedges on attributions of a target's attitude and the confidence related to the target's behavior (i.e., writing a message). In Study 1, a message containing tag questions and hedges attenuated the correspondence bias when the target was constrained in his or her behavior. This attenuation was mediated by participants' perceptions of the target's confidence in his or her attitude towar…
Language and persuasion
Rhetorical Question Use and Resistance to Persuasion
Although previous research has provided indirect evidence that rhetorical questions can increase attitudinal resistance, what little work that was done was not specifically designed to examine the issue. Current models of attitude change suggest that rhetorical questions can increase persuasion and message processing, creating a relatively strong, resistant attitude. These processing and resistance effects in turn may be mediated by a property of…
The Effect of Nonverbal Behaviors Associated With Sexual Harassment Proclivity on Women's Performance
Participant Perceptions of Potential Employers
Beliefs in Conspiracies
This study used canonical correlation to examine the relationship of 11 individual difference variables to two measures of beliefs in conspiracies. Undergraduates were administered a questionnaire that included these two measures (beliefs in specific conspiracies and attitudes toward the existence of conspiracies) and scales assessing the 11 variables. High levels of anomie, authoritarianism, and powerlessness, along with a low level of self‐este…
