In control but uninspired: Displays of artist self‐control undermine perceptions of creativity
Previous research highlighted the interpersonal benefits of self‐control in professional contexts: People prefer high self‐control individuals as work or study partners and expect them to perform better than low self‐control individuals. We show that these benefits of self‐control reverse in the artistic domain. Results of one pilot study and five preregistered online experiments ( N = 1644) reveal that artists with high (vs. low) self‐control ar…
Defending humankind: Anthropocentric bias in the appreciation of AI art
We argue that recent advances of artificial intelligence (AI) in the domain of art (e.g., music, painting) pose a profound ontological threat to anthropocentric worldviews because they challenge one of the last frontiers of the human uniqueness narrative: artistic creativity. Four experiments (N = 1708), including a high-powered preregistered experiment, consistently reveal a pervasive bias against AI-made artworks and shed light on its psycholog…
Choosing goals that express the true self: A novel mechanism of the effect of self‐control on goal attainment
Why is trait self‐control associated with successful goal progress? Existing research has attempted to answer this question by focusing on individual differences in the process of goal pursuit. Herein, we propose and test a novel mechanism suggesting that self‐control facilitates goal attainment not only by affecting the process of goal pursuit but also the type of goals people select in the first place. Three studies showed that high (vs. low) s…
True to which self? Lay rationalism and decision satisfaction in self-control conflicts
Are people more satisfied with decisions to resist or to indulge temptation? We propose that the effect of restraint versus indulgence on decision satisfaction depends on individual differences in lay rationalism, that is, reliance on reason versus feelings to guide decisions. Across 2 pilot studies and 9 main studies (N = 3,264) with different methodologies and various self-control domains, we found consistent evidence that individuals experienc…
Do consumer choices augment narcissism? The role of self-referent processing
Drawing on the choice and self-referent processing literatures, we \nhypothesized that the act of making consumer choices will augment \nnarcissism, because it directs attention to the self (i.e., increases selfreferencing). \nResults of three experiments provided support for the \nproposed path from choice to narcissism via self-referencing (indirect \neffect), but not for the path from choice to narcissism (total effect). This \npattern, first …
Finding meaning in self-control: The effect of self-control on the perception of meaning in life
The present research explored whether self-control is associated with the perception of meaning in life. A week-long daily diary study (Study 1) showed trait self-control (but not daily experiences of self-control failure) to be positively associated with a general sense of meaning in life and daily experiences of meaning. This association was robust against controlling for life satisfaction, positive and negative affect. Study 2 tested two poten…
Express the Real You: Cultural Differences in the Perception of Self-Expression as Authenticity
Prior research shows that people feel authentic when they express themselves. In this research, we examined how people from different cultures make inferences about a target person's authenticity based on information about that person's self-expression. Our cultural-fit hypothesis proposes that acts of self-expression enhance perceptions of authenticity when they are congruent with the culturally prevalent self-expression norms. In an experiment …
Likes, Dislikes, and the Perception of Choice as Self-Expression across Cultures
Self-expressive functions of choice, routinely found in individualistic cultures, have also been evidenced in collectivistic cultures, when choice involves culturally relevant aspects of the self. In this research, we focus on the perception of choice by others, and set off to determine which culture-specific contexts make a choice self-expressive, according to the disjoint and the conjoint model of agency. We predict that choice reflecting exclu…
