A psychological examination of six “bugs” in DEI discourse and a way forward focusing on maximizing human thriving and potential
Purpose To reflect on various elements within the DEI discourse in workplace discussions and trainings with a view to identifying elements that could produce unintended negative side effects. To use this reflection to suggest an evolved framework focusing on maximizing human thriving and potential. Design/methodology/approach Psychological analysis of several elements within DEI training and discourse that could produce negative consequences and …
Preliminary evidence for a selective agency-boosting effect of psychosocial stress
Across 2 studies, explicit and implicit methods are used to explore stress and SoA. • Under stress, temporal binding selectively increases after 700 ms delays. • No statistically significant relationship was found between stress and explicit SoA. • Increased action-effect intervals produce a potential “stress-enabled agency boost” Sense of Agency (SoA) arises from the perception of being in control of one’s own actions and their outcomes. Many co…
Agency in the Social World
Social Identity Threat (SIT) theory suggests that the awareness of a devalued in-group identity can threaten self-related processing and subsequent performance via expectations of bias. We tested this assertion by studying the impact of racial bias expectations on a core aspect of self-consciousness and performance: the sense of agency, that is, the experience of control over one's actions and outcomes. Across a North American and international s…
Don’t worry, they get the idea
A common method for assessing blatant dehumanization asks participants to rate "how evolved" they think members of various social groups are using the Ascent of Human scale (AOH) that transitions in stages from a crawling ape to a fully upright modern human. However, little is known about how task instructions affect participant ratings. In this pre-registered study, participants saw alternative forms of instruction including the traditional inst…
An investigation of “We” agency in co-operative joint actions
Studying sense of agency online
Exploring the relationship between perceived Action-Outcome distance and Agency
Automatic imitation does not predict levels of prosocial behaviour in a modified dictator game
Social exclusion reduces the sense of agency
Power, Ethnic Origin, and Sexual Objectification
In this study, we investigated the effects of primed power on sexual objectification of Caucasian and Asian men and women. As in previous studies, sexual objectification was assessed using an inversion paradigm with face–body compound stimuli. Previous work has shown that participants primed to power do not show the typical drop in recognition performance for inverted face–body compound stimuli, suggesting that they process these stimuli in terms…
Power, Objectification, and Recognition of Sexualized Women and Men
In contemporary society, sexual objectification is usually thought of as something that men do to women. However, this notion risks conflating the gender of the perpetrator with the fact that men often hold more social power than women. In the current study, we investigated whether power itself was associated with changes in processing of sexualized human targets, independent of the gender of the power holder. In Experiment 1, we primed separate …
Cultural background influences implicit but not explicit sense of agency for the production of musical tones
Intentional binding and the sense of agency
Induced power changes the sense of agency
Subjective agency and awareness of shared actions
