CyberballOS
Researchers continually face challenges finding ways to test the fundamentals of psychology: affect, behavior, and cognition. Since 2000, researchers have used a universal tool called Cyberball to investigate these outcomes. Cyberball is a virtual ball-toss game played with computer-controlled players. We updated the Cyberball paradigm, creating CyberballOS (Open Source), to make it require no special resources, have easy-to-set-up games, and rec…
Is it them vs. Us, or do we just think it’s them vs. Us
Social identities shape our worldview and influence information processing. Some categories of social identity (such as political partisanship or college football fans) are intrinsically competitive. Others (such as religions or ethnicities) are not always competitors but may be viewed as competitors by some group members. We examine social identities and use the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT) and the Game of Dice Task (GDT) to examine decision making.…

Maintaining distance and avoiding going out during the Covid-19 pandemic
The integrated social cognition model predicts social distancing intentions and long-term social distancing behaviors. Hazard-specific risk and affect were relevant determinants added to the models. Potential avenues for intervention research are described.Supplemental data for this article is available online at https://doi.org/10.1080/08870446.2021.2023746
Partisans Hear, but They Don’t Listen
Political partisanship stems from the fundamental process of categorizing one’s social world and influences important behavioral outcomes, such information processing. The present study examines the role of political partisanship in risky decision making as assessed with the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT), a common ecologically valid behavioral task. Participants ( N = 881) were randomly assigned to modified IGT conditions: one in which the advantageou…
I hate to be a burden!”
We examined if perceiving oneself as burdensome, due to performing poorly in a group, can lead to feelings associated with ostracism (being excluded and ignored), without actually being ostracized. Participants completed a typing game (Study 1) or solved Remote Associates Test (Study 2) items where they performed worse, equal, or better than the group. To isolate the influence of burdensomeness, participants were consistently selected by computer…
Brief Textual Indicators of Political Orientation
Language reflects one's thoughts, feelings, and worldview. Technology has led to a proliferation of brief communications. Is this brief text meaningful? We examine whether text from brief political and nonpolitical communications reflect political ideology. Student responses to their ideological foundations (Study 1), brief snippets of unanimous Supreme Court verdicts (Study 2), and celebrity tweets (Study 3) were textually analyzed to examine wh…
Can Burdensome Facebook “Friends” Cause You Pain? Self-Reported Pain as a Motivation for Exclusion
People need positive social connections, which Facebook can fulfill. However, some Facebook "friends" are poor social exchange partners due to inhibiting a Facebook user's ability to socially connect online. Poor partners may be burdensome and a Facebook user may distance oneself from the burdensome person. We contend pain is a physical signal that motivates exclusionary behaviors towards burdensome others. We manipulated burden by having partici…
