Gender in action
Research in embodied cognition has consistently shown a close link between action verb processing and action observation, often attributed to shared sensorimotor representations. However, it remains unclear whether this action-language coupling is modulated by social context. The present research addressed this gap by examining the influence of gender stereotypes on action-language processing. In Experiment 1 (N = 40, 20 female), participants per…
Unequal homework
The Covid‐19 outbreak forced families and teachers to use digital technology to support students to engage in distance learning at home. According to their social class, families’ digital equipment, competences and uses vary markedly, which in turn, impacts children's academic achievement. Social class has also a great influence on cultural and parental practices at home, as well as on parental self‐efficacy regarding supporting children's academ…
It is not only whether I approach but also why I approach
Hold It Right There
The approach-aversion effect refers to a devaluation of approaching (vs. static) stimuli and is attributable to the fact that being approached is threatening. However, the explanation and the generalizability of this effect still remain unclear. To fill this gap, we provide a powerful test of the approach-aversion effect using Virtual Reality. Participants evaluated approaching and static virtual individuals for which we manipulated the threateni…

A new look at sensorimotor aspects in approach/avoidance tendencies
Good self, bad self
Toward a deeper understanding of the ecological origins of distance construal
I, me, mine
Drawing on decades of research suggesting an attentional advantage for self‐related information, researchers generally assume that self‐related stimuli automatically capture attention. However, a literature review reveals that this claim has not been systematically examined. We aimed to fill in this dearth of evidence. Following a feature‐based account of automaticity, we set up four experiments in which participants were asked to respond to a ta…
