Asymmetry and Defense in Self-Comparison: Differential Reactions to Feedback About the Rejected and Ideal Selves
This research extended Eisenstadt and Leippe's (1994) self-comparison model by examining acceptance and rejection of self-discrepant feedback and the consequences for the broader self-concept. According to the model, individuals should be more vulnerable to low-importance feedback. College students received bogus feedback about an important or unimportant, ideal or rejected trait, and rated the self-descriptiveness of that and other traits. Parti…
The case for expert testimony about eyewitness memory
The case for expert testimony about eyewitness memory
Eyewitness expert testimony informs a jury about psychological processes and accuracy-related variables in eyewitness testimony. Appropriately chosen testimony is not prejudicial, and it is on sound scientific ground. Eyewitness research has established reliable, applicable findings and demonstrated that jurors have insufficient knowledge of some findings and poorly judge eyewitness accuracy. Studies of trial dynamics and reactions to eyewitnesse…
The self-comparison process and self-discrepant feedback: Consequences of learning you are what you thought you were not
Generalization of dissonance reduction: Decreasing prejudice through induced compliance
Three studies demonstrated that induced compliance can change socially significant attitudes and that the change generalizes to broader beliefs. White college students wrote an essay endorsing a proBlack policy that was costly to Whites. In Experiments 1 and 2, attitudes and general beliefs about Blacks became more favorable in both high- and low-choice conditions, provided publicity of the essay was high. Overall, choice and publicity had additi…
Eyewitness persuasion: How and how well do fact finders judge the accuracy of adults' and children's memory reports
Children, ages 5-6 and 9-10 years, and adults participated in an eventful laboratory session and provided memory reports of the session. In 3 experiments, college students and parents viewed videotapes of highly accurate and highly inaccurate reports. In 2 experiments, these «fact finders» rated adult witnesses more believable and accurate than younger child witnesses, even when both groups were equally accurate. Perceptions of confidence and con…
In search of reliable persuasion effects: III. The sleeper effect is dead: Long live the sleeper effect
The sleeper effect in persuasion is a delayed increase in the impact of a message that is accompanied by a discounting cue. Despite a long history, the sleeper effect has been notoriously difficult to obtain or to replicate, with the exception of a pair of studies by Gruder et al. (1978). We conducted a series of 16 computer-controlled experiments and a replication of the Gruder et al. study to demonstrate that a sleeper effect can be obtained re…
When motives clash: Issue involvement and response involvement as determinants of persuasion
Under what conditions does theory obstruct research progress?
Researchers display confirmation bias when they persevere by revising procedures until obtaining a theory-predicted result. This strategy produces findings that are overgeneralized in avoidable ways, and this in turn hinders successful applications. (The 40-year history of an attitude-change phenomenon, the sleeper effect, stands as a case in point.) Confirmation bias is an expectable product of theory-centered research strategies, including both…
Physiological arousal, dissonance, and attitude change: Evidence for a dissonance-arousal link and a "Don't remind me" effect
Two experiments replicated and extended research by Croyle and Cooper (1983) indicating that cognitive dissonance involves physiological arousal. In Experiment 1, subjects wrote counterattitudinal essays under conditions of high or low choice, and, to assess arousal effects owing to effort, with or without a list of arguments provided by the experimenter. In high-choice conditions only, and regardless of effort, subjects showed both arousal (heig…
