  • Coherence and the Conjunction Fallacy

    Open AccessAnnetta Snell, Madison Burt et al.ARTICLEPersonality and Social Psychology…2026

    The conjunction fallacy occurs when, after reading about an introductory event a , participants rate a combination of two events ( b ˄ c ) as more likely than a single event b . It has been proposed that the fallacy is more likely to occur when the coherence of a, b, c —the extent to which the three events fit together to form a united and complete story—is greater than that of a, b . In the current research, participants were presented with a th…

  • Does Religious Priming Induce Greater Prejudice? A Meta-Analytic Review

    Open AccessAnnetta Snell, Miron Zuckerman et al.ARTICLEPersonality and Social Psychology…2024

    The current meta-analysis addressed whether theistic religious beliefs are causally related to greater prejudice by analyzing 44 studies ( N total = 11,330) that used experimental designs—priming religion and then measuring negativity toward outgroups (e.g., LGBT and Muslim). The overall priming effect was significant but small ( r = .06), indicating that priming religion increases prejudice. The implications of these results for the relation bet…

  • Religious Americans Have Less Positive Attitudes Toward Science, but This Does Not Extend to Other Cultures

    Open AccessJonathon Mcphetres, Jonathan Jong et al.ARTICLESocial Psychological and…2021

    It is commonly claimed that science and religion are logically and psychologically at odds with one another. However, previous studies have mainly examined American samples; therefore, generalizations about antagonism between religion and science may be unwarranted. We examined the correlation between religiosity and attitudes toward science across 11 studies including representative data from 60 countries ( N = 66,438), nine convenience samples …

  • Culture Moderates the Relation Between Income Inequality and Subjective Well-Being

    Open AccessChen Li, Miron Zuckerman et al.ARTICLEJournal of Cross-Cultural…2019Citada por: 4Referencias: 35

    Liberal ideology promotes equality whereas conservative ideology justifies inequality. Four studies examined whether the liberal-conservative continuum moderates the relation between inequality and subjective well-being (SWB). All four studies found a significant moderator effect such that higher inequality was related to greater SWB in conservative countries. In liberal countries, the corresponding relation was mostly reversed but did not reach …

  • Religiosity predicts negative attitudes towards science and lower levels of science literacy

    Open AccessJonathon Mcphetres, Miron Zuckerman et al.ARTICLEPLoS ONE2018

    Past research suggests that religion and science may conflict on which is a better tool for explaining the world. This conflict implies that religiosity might negatively impact both attitudes toward science and science knowledge. However, past research has focused mostly on religious affiliation and has not consistently identified such a relation using a general religiosity measure that assesses religious beliefs and religious practice. Using two…

  • Religious People Endorse Different Standards of Evidence When Evaluating Religious Versus Scientific Claims

    Open AccessJonathon Mcphetres, Miron ZuckermanARTICLESocial Psychological and…2017

    Recent research has begun to investigate the relationship between religion and science. However, it remains unclear whether religious and nonreligious people differ on the standards of evidence used when evaluating claims in religious versus scientific contexts. Across three studies ( N = 702), we presented participants with effects that were attributed to scientific methodology or to God and asked them to rate how many more times an effect needs…

  • Smoking at the workplace

    Open AccessIlan Dar-Nimrod, Miron Zuckerman et al.ARTICLENew Genetics and Society2014

    People hold diverse beliefs regarding the etiologies of individual and group differences in behaviors which, in turn, might affect their attitudes and behaviors. It is important to establish how perceived etiologies for smoking might affect the effectiveness of policy initiatives and prevention efforts. The present study assessed whether exposure to genetic vs. environmental accounts for smoking affects attitudes towards a) workplace-related smok…

  • Narcissism and well‐being

    Open AccessMiron Zuckerman, Ryan E O'Loughlin et al.ARTICLEEuropean Journal of Social…2009Citada por: 5Referencias: 61

    This study used a longitudinal design to examine both concurrent and prospective relations between narcissism and several indicators of well‐being in a non‐clinical population. Consistent with previous research, the concurrent analyses showed that (1) narcissism was related to greater well‐being with self‐esteem fully mediating the association, and (2) narcissism was related to greater self‐esteem contingency on negative interpersonal events. The…

  • Costs of Self‐Handicapping

    Open AccessMiron Zuckerman, Fen‐fang TsaiARTICLEJournal of Personality2005

    Four studies examined the relation of trait self‐handicapping with health‐related measures. Study 1 showed that, over time, self‐handicapping and maladjustment reinforce each other. Study 2 showed that self‐handicappers reported a loss in competence satisfaction which, in turn, mediated the relation of self‐handicapping with negative mood. Study 3 found that, over time, self‐handicappers report an increase in substance use. Study 4 showed that se…

  • The Development of the Self-Regulation of Withholding Negative Emotions Questionnaire

    Open AccessYoungmee Kim, Edward L Deci et al.ARTICLEEducational and Psychological…2002

    Based on the Self-Determination Theory, a questionnaire was developed to measure individual differences in the Self-Regulation of Withholding Negative Emotions (SRWNE). Measurement reliability and validity concerning the scale were examined in three studies. Results in Study 1 demonstrated the distinctiveness of the SRWNE from emotional regulation measures, suggesting that the SRWNE may be appropriate to measure styles of self-regulation and to c…

  • Beliefs m Realistic and Unrealistic Control

    Open AccessMiron Zuckerman, C Raymond Knee et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality1996

    Scales were constructed to measure perceived control over controllable events (realistic control) and perceived control over uncontrollable events (unrealistic control). Internal reliability, test‐retest reliability, and discriminant validity of both scales were adequate. Study 1 measured perceived personal control over hassles that judges rated on general controllability. For hassles very high in controllability, perceived personal control was r…

  • The relation between overly positive self-evaluation and adjustment

    Miron Zuckerman, C Raymond KneeARTICLEJournal of Personality and Social…1996

    C.R. Colvin, J. Block, and D.C. Funder (1995) calculated a self-enhancement index-the discrepancy between favorability of participants' self-ratings and favorability of others' ratings of the participants. They found that the index was negatively correlated with psychological adjustment. However, the discrepancy between self- and other-ratings cannot add to the variance accounted for once self-ratings and other-ratings are controlled for. Consequ…

  • Causality Orientations and the Disappearance of the Self-Serving Bias

    Open AccessC Raymond Knee, Miron ZuckermanARTICLEJournal of Research in Personality1996Citada por: 7

    Theoretical work (Deci & Ryan, 1987) has implicated causality orientations as potential moderators of defensive attributions. The present study examined whether autonomy and control orientations moderate the attributional tendency to take more responsibility for success than failure. We examined both additive and synergistic models of the effect of causality orientations on self-serving attributions. We found that this self-serving bias disappear…

  • Effects of Attractiveness and Maturity of Face and Voice on Interpersonal Impressions

    Open AccessMiron Zuckerman, Kunitate Miyake et al.ARTICLEJournal of Research in Personality1995Citada por: 7

    We examined effects of attractiveness and maturity of face and voice on interpersonal impressions. Higher attractiveness, both facial and vocal, resulted in more positive impressions. However, facial attractiveness influenced primarily interpersonal dimensions (extroversion, warmth, and agreeableness) whereas vocal attractiveness influenced primarily more private dimensions (neuroticism and conscientiousness). Higher maturity, both facial and voc…

  • Hypothesis confirmation

    Miron Zuckerman, C Raymond Knee et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality and Social…1995Citada por: 6

    Hypothesis testers tend to ask hypothesis-consistent questions (i.e., they ask about features more likely under the hypothesis than under the alternative). Targets tend to acquiesce (i.e., they provide more yes than no answers). Because yes answers to hypothesis-consistent questions confirm the hypothesis being tested, hypothesis testers should generate hypothesis-confirming data. In the present study, naive hypothesis testers questioned naive ta…

  • Causality Orientations, Failure, and Achievement

    Open AccessRichard Koestner, Miron ZuckermanARTICLEJournal of Personality1994

    Two studies examined similarities between Deci and Ryan's (1985) causality orientations theory and Dweck and Leggett's (1988) social‐cognitive theory of achievement. Study 1 examined the conceptual similarity between the individual difference measures central to the two theories. It was shown that autonomous college students are likely to adopt learning goals and report high confidence in their academic abilities; controlled students are likely t…

  • Self-Peer Agreement as a Function of Two Kinds of Trait Relevance

    Open AccessRichard Koestner, Frank Bemieri et al.ARTICLESocial Behavior and Personality…1994

    We proposed a refinement of the construct of trait relevance that would allow for more accurate prediction of self-peer agreement. A distinction is offered between a given trait's personal and social relevance. Personal relevance refers to whether a trait is central to a person's self-identity whereas social relevance refers to the perceived social value of a given trait. People reporting that a trait is central to their identity are expected to …
