“Power to the people—all the people”: Sociocultural constructions of black queer identity
Few empirical studies have examined ways in which anti-Black and heteronormative scripts are reproduced within Black queer communities or how Black queer group members explicitly perceive their own levels of privilege relative to other Black queer group members marginalized on different axes (e.g., cisgender group members compared to Transgender group members). This critical qualitative study utilized semi-structured interviews to explore how 9 B…
The Perks of Being a Flip-Flopper: Examining Evaluations of Politicians Who Change Their Position Due to Scientific Evidence
When politicians are swayed by scientific evidence, are they met with admiration or skepticism? U.S. college students and Prolific panelists ( N = 1,213) rated six vignettes in a 2 (politician’s action: maintain original position vs. change position) × 3 (alignment with participant’s position: aligned vs. misaligned vs. control) within-subjects design. Politicians who changed their position were judged as more flip-floppy, but also warmer and mor…
The Limitations of Social Science as the Arbiter of Blame: An Argument for Abandoning Retribution
The U.S. criminal-justice system has consequentialist and retributivist goals: It considers what is best for society as well as how to punish people in a manner proportional to their crimes. In deciding on the degree of retribution that is called for, the system attempts to determine the blameworthiness—or culpability—of the people involved, weighing factors such as their ability to think rationality, their freedom from coercion, and whether thei…

Is ideology the enemy of inquiry? Examining the link between political orientation and lack of interest in novel data
Is dissonance reduction a special case of fluid compensation? Evidence that dissonant cognitions cause compensatory affirmation and abstraction
Cognitive dissonance theory shares much in common with other perspectives that address anomalies, uncertainty, and general expectancy violations. This has led some theorists to argue that these theories represent overlapping psychological processes. If responding to dissonance and uncertainty occurs through a common psychological process, one should expect that the behavioral outcomes of feeling uncertain would also apply to feelings of dissonanc…
The need to believe: A neuroscience account of religion as a motivated process
Religious belief has been shown to offer substantial benefits to its adherents, including improved well-being and health. We suggest that these benefits might be explained, at least in part, from a “motivated meaning-making” perspective. This model holds that people are motivated to create and sustain meaning (i.e., a sense of coherency between beliefs, goals, and perceptions of the environment, which provides individuals with the feeling that th…
Existential neuroscience: A proximate explanation of religion as flexible meaning and palliative
The cognitive science of religion has made great strides in the past decade (e.g., Boyer, 2008), with more and better research from many disciplines asking basic questions about why religions exist
Lingering Effects: Stereotype Threat Hurts More than You Think
Starting with the first realization that negative stereotypes can cause people to underperform in the stereotyped domain, an impressive body of work has documented the robust and wide‐ranging nature of stereotype and social identity threat. In this article, we look beyond the stereotyped ability domain and present evidence that coping with stereotypes and prejudice can linger, affecting a broad range of behaviors even in areas unrelated to the st…
