Event-related potentials reveal age-related differences in sensitivity to positive and negative feedback from social and nonsocial sources
Using a well-powered design, this study shows that age differences in electrophysiological correlates of feedback processing exist even when younger and older adults show similar behavioral responses to feedback. Neither the dopamine theory of aging nor socioemotional selectivity theory fully accounts for these complex findings, highlighting the need for theoretical refinement and demonstrating the utility of EEG methods in the cognitive neurosci…
Emotional aftermath of the 2020 U.S. presidential election
272) against the backdrop of the 2020 U.S. presidential election. Participants predicted electoral college votes for the two presidential candidates before the election and were asked to remember their predictions approximately three weeks later, after the election results had been finalised. Republicans, for whom the electoral outcome was negatively tinged, exhibited greater hindsight bias for President Biden's result compared with Democrats, fo…
A pandemic-related affect gap in risky decisions for self and others
437, age range: 21-82) sought to test whether negative pandemic-related affect would lower expected-value (EV) maximisation within individuals. In Experiment 1, participants indicated how much they would be willing to pay to avoid specific pandemic experiences (e.g. "not being able to gather in groups"), and then chose among pairs of risky prospects that involved pandemic experiences or subjectively-equivalent monetary losses. EV maximising was l…
Negative Affect Following Dating Application Use is Predicted by Social Anxiety Symptoms and Match Rate
Social rejection is a common and unavoidable experience for users of dating apps. Research suggests that socially anxious individuals may be particularly likely to use dating apps to establish intimate relationships, given their preference for online (vs. face-to-face) communication. However, social anxiety (SA) symptoms are associated with heightened negative affect and decreased prosocial behavior following social rejection, suggesting that exp…
Consequences of curiosity for recognition memory in younger and older adults
Age Differences in Motivated Cognition
OBJECTIVES: The goal of this preregistered study was to synthesize empirical findings on age differences in motivated cognition using a meta-analytic approach, with a focus on the domains of cognitive control and episodic memory. METHODS: A systematic search of articles published before July 2022 yielded 27 studies of cognitive control (N = 1,908) and 73 studies of memory (N = 5,837). Studies had to include healthy younger and older adults, a wit…
Age differences in emotion perception in a multiple target setting
Research focusing on the association between age and emotion perception has revealed inconsistent findings, with some support for an age-related positivity effect, as predicted by socioemotional selectivity theory. We used the mood-of-the-crowd (MoC) task to investigate whether older adults judge a crowd consisting of happy and angry expressions to be dominated by happy faces more frequently. The task was to decide whether an array of faces inclu…
Cultural Differences in Memory for Objects and Backgrounds in Pictures
The purpose of this study is to investigate cultural differences in memory for individual objects and backgrounds that have been studied together in one picture. Thirty-six Caucasian Canadians in Toronto and 36 Han Chinese in Beijing were tested with a picture recognition paradigm. At encoding, participants viewed 60 line drawing pictures, each containing an object and a background scene. Participants then recognized these objects and backgrounds…
A primazia das relações de confiança como determinantes da satisfação e cooperação de empregados em contextos de trabalho rural
Objetivou-se analisar a satisfação e cooperação de empregados rurais em propriedades da região oeste de Santa Catarina. Dados de 40 propriedades rurais, coletados através de questionário estruturado no período compreendido entre 01 de novembro a 20 de dezembro de 2012, foram submetidos a métodos de análise estatística multivariada, utilizando a Principal Component Analysis (PCA) e a Redundancy Analysis (RDA). Os resultados indicam que o nível de …
