The Cost of Being Black: White Americans' Perceptions and the Question of Reparations
White Americans have long resisted the idea of reparations to the descendants of slaves. We examine the psychological basis of such resistance, primarily testing the possibility that resistance may be a function of Whites’ perception of the ongoing cost of being Black. White participants (n = 958) across twelve independent samples (varying in age, student status, and geographic location) were asked variations of the question: How much should you …
Organizational Membership versus Informal Interaction: Contributions to Skills and Perceptions that Build Social Capital
Participation in formal organizations has been considered a marker of social capital, but informal interactions may also provide social-capital relevant benefits. The current studies (N = 252 undergraduates; 60 adult members of a service organization) assessed skills, outcomes, and social-structural perceptions that may be developed from organizational or informal participation. Results suggested that organizations serve as potential training gro…

Trust, Mood, and Outcomes of Friendship Determine Preferences for Real Versus Ersatz Social Capital
Societal‐level social capital ultimately rests upon individual attitudes and behaviors. This study investigated the determinants of individuals' preferences for real versus ersatz social activities. Ersatz social activities are substitutes for true social interaction; they involve interaction with media or media characters rather than other individuals. Undergraduates (N = 144) chose activities from pairs of social and ersatz exemplars. The parti…

The Consumer Reports study of psychotherapy: Invalid is invalid
The conclusion that Consumer Reports (CR) has provided empirical validation of the e f f e t i v e n e s s of p s y h o t h e r a p y (Seligman, 1995, p. 974) was reached after a bravura run across a minefield of methodological flaws, In Seligman's reanalysis of the CR (1994) survey findings, many threats to internal validity (Campbell & Stanley, 1969; Cook & Campbell, 1979) were found to apply to the CR data, but they were swiftly argued away. H…

Persuasion and Politics: The Social Psychology of Public Opinion
Reactions to Death as a Function of Perceived Similarity to the Deceased
This study investigated reactions to the death of a similar or dissimilar person. Sixty females met and evaluated a confederate who was presented as similar or dissimilar to themselves. Participants returned for a second session and were informed of the confederate's fate (death, accident or no show). No differences were found in changes in perceptions of similarity and attractiveness of the victim. There were also no differences in verbal denial…

Interpersonal physical pleasuring: Effects of sex combinations, recipient attributes, and anticipated future interaction
In this initial investigation of interpersonal pleasuring, denned as the administration of positive physical stimulation to one human by another, 439 undergraduates used the Brock Pleasure Machine to give 30 intensity-graded waves of pleasure to a confederate recipient's buttocks. The findings of Experiment 1 were that pleasuring increased across trials and more pleasuring was given to an oppositethan to a same-sex partner. Experiment 2 replicate…

Distraction can enhance or reduce yielding to propaganda: Thought disruption versus effort justification
Two experiments were conducted to test competing accounts of the distractionpersuasion relationship, thought disruption and effort justification, and also to show that the relationship is not limited to counterattitudinal communication. Experiment 1 varied distraction and employed two discrepant messages differing in how easy they were to counterargue. In accord with the thought disruption account, increasing distraction enhanced persuasion for a…

Implications of Conversion and Magnitude of Cognitive Dissonance
FOR those experiencing it, religious conversion is frequently so rich and unique as to defy adequate description. Without the least disparagement of ineffableness, divine grace, or explosion of subliminal (James, 1903, p. 237), it is possible to take a somewhat pedestrian view of conversion that may make significant aspects of the process amenable to experimental analysis. The aspect focused upon in the present report is favorable change in attit…
