Jumping to conclusions predicts truncated searches even in uncongenial contexts
Jumping to conclusions (JTC) is the tendency to reach a conclusion after reviewing only minimal evidence. However, research on the ways in which this individual difference functions in motivated and unmotivated contexts is mixed. In the present research, we investigated whether JTC would predict evidence search in a context where defensive motivated processing is likely to emerge. In Study 1 participants (N = 383) completed a JTC measure then eng…
Culturally-specific perceptions of age-related changes in femininity and masculinity in South Korea and Canada
There are widespread cultural assumptions that femininity and masculinity are innate, unchanging, and binary. But does everyone share this belief, and how might culture matter? Across two studies (Total N = 523), we asked Canadian and South Korean university students to rate how feminine and masculine a person is perceived to be across a lifespan. Both groups expected femininity and masculinity to shift. There were also culturally-specific belief…
The Improvement Default
People erroneously think that things they know little about improve over time. We propose that, due to salient cultural narratives, improvement is a highly accessible expectation that leads people to presume improvement in the absence of diagnostic information. Five studies investigated an improvement default: a general tendency to presume improvement even in self-irrelevant domains. Participants erroneously presumed improvement over esoteric his…
The Multidimensional Forgiveness Inventory
Building on existing models, we theorized a dimensional model which quantifies forgiveness in terms of incongruence among forgiveness aspects. In the present research we aimed to draw on attitudinal theory to validate a measure of forgiveness which assessed cognition, behavior, and affect. Our goal was to develop a measure of forgiveness which captures incongruence between domains. To do this, we examined the validity and reliability of the Multi…
Defer, disagree, or disengage? Relational mobility, self-changeability, culture, and responses to inconsistency
Past research has found that people often engage in one of three behaviours to resolve inconsistencies with others: validation, conforming, or distancing. While much of the social influence literature has assessed contexts in which conformity is more or less likely, little has explored alternatives to conformity, such as validation and distancing. The present research as aims to assess what underlying factors that affect these preferences. We use…
La culture et la chronicité du désordre
Précisons, dès le point de départ, que je n'abor derai pas mon sujet par la définition de ses principaux thèmes, la «culture» et le «désordre».Mon propos s'ouvrira plutôt sur une image.L'image est celle de l'arrière-salle dans un asile d'État, une clinique, une maison de santé.Ce n'est pas important qu'il s'agisse d'une image actuelle ou d'enfance, il y a un édifice de briques ayant une arrière-salle, soit celui des crimi nels fous, soit celui de…
The Essential James Hillman
First published in 1990. James Hillman is one of the leading figures in archetypal psychology and one of the most creative minds in psychology. This anthology of his writings presents carefully selected, choice passages from many of his seminal essays and work on archetypal psychology. Fundamental themes in Hillman's thought form the chapters of the book: poetic basis of mind, psychological polytheism, dreams, love, therapy. The book is intended …
Essential James Hillman
The soul's code
Plato and the Greeks called it "daimon," the Romans "genius," the Christians "guardian angel"; today we use terms such as "heart," "spirit," and "soul." For James Hillman it is the central and guiding force of his utterly unique and compelling "acorn theory," which proposes that each life is formed by a particular image, an image that is the essence of that life and calls it to a destiny, just as the mighty oak's destiny is written in the tiny ac…
Kinds of Power
In the boldest expose on the nature of power since Machiavelli, celebrated Jungian therapist James Hillman shows how the artful leader uses each of two dozen kinds of power with finesse and subtlety. Power, we often forget, has many faces, many different expressions. "Empowerment," writes best-selling Jungian analyst James Hillman, "comes from understanding the widest spectrum of possibilities for embracing power." If food means only meat and pot…
