Attentional capture by real and illusory faces: A failure to replicate
Evidence indicates that faces are rapidly detected and prioritized in visual processing due to their social relevance. Crucially, research has shown that faces capture attention even when they are task-irrelevant, suggesting the existence of an automatic, domain-specific attentional mechanism. This prioritization appears to extend to face pareidolia—the illusory perception of faces in objects—indicating that face detection may rely on a broadly t…
Attentionally modulated motor-to-semantic priming: Evidence From a Property Verification Task
Previous research has shown that motor information influences visual and semantic tasks. However, not much is known about the specific influence of structural, action-relevant information on language processing. In the current study, participants were instructed to observe a prime graspable object (e.g., a frying pan) that could be presented with the action-relevant component (that is its handle) oriented either toward the left or toward the righ…
Our Team Cares: Using a Sport Social Identity to Promote Collective Action Toward Disadvantaged Groups
We conducted a field intervention aimed at fostering collective action toward disadvantaged groups among football players from the grassroots of a professional football team. The 3‐step intervention aimed at increasing the salience and relevance of the football sport identity and its associated positive values (e.g., respect, social inclusion). In the intervention, we highlighted the importance of keeping consistent behaviour within and beyond th…
A contest study to reduce attractiveness-based discrimination in social judgment
Discrimination in the evaluation of others is a key cause of social inequality around the world. However, relatively little is known about psychological interventions that can be used to prevent biased evaluations. The limited evidence that exists on these strategies is spread across many methods and populations, making it difficult to generate reliable best practices that can be effective across contexts. In the present work, we held a research …
Emotions in motion: Affective valence can influence compatibility effects with graspable objects
Sport identification, moral perceptions and collective action: A study with young football players
We conducted a cross‐sectional study investigating whether sport identification predicts different forms of collective action intentions aimed to redress the unfavourable condition faced by disadvantaged individuals. In doing so, moral perceptions (moral convictions, moral violation and moral obligation) were tested as mediators. Participants were young football players from the grassroots of a professional Italian club ( N = 111). Results reveal…
Do my hands prime your hands? The hand-to-response correspondence effect
Ways of thinking about the incinerator: A typology of citizens’ mindsets
This paper considers the social representation of an incinerator plant operating for more than 30 years in a medium-sized city in Italy. A survey was carried out with a representative sample of an Italian town, a community that was not generally hostile to it. On the basis of self-efficacy and trust in institutions, and by applying cluster analyses, we obtain evidence for four distinct groups labelled as Fatalists, Collaboratives, Activists, and …
