The Trilingual Gender Stereotypes Database (TGSD)
Gender-stereotype research often relies on language-specific materials and procedures that hinder generalization. We introduce the Trilingual Gender Stereotypes Database (TGSD) – a validated corpus of three independently developed databases of stereotype statements in English, Hebrew, and Arabic. Independent samples of native US-based English speakers (n = 95), Israeli Hebrew speakers (n = 440), and Israeli Arabic speakers (n = 125) rated how cha…
Default Effects Across Levels of Cognitive Effort
People are more likely to choose an option when it is preselected. Such default effects are traditionally assumed to be stronger when people invest little cognitive effort; however, empirical findings supporting this assumption are mixed. We propose that this apparent insensitivity arises because default effects are based on both passive processes (e.g., inaction due to convenience) and active processes (e.g., deliberate inferences about the defa…
Adaptation of Migrant Deservingness Scale for Use in Turkish Context
This study aims to adapt the Migrant Deservingness Scale (MDS), which directly assesses five key criteria—Control, Attitude, Reciprocity, Identity, and Need—that individuals use to determine whether immigrants are perceived as deserving or undeserving, for the Turkish population. A translation/back-translation method was employed. A total of 673 adults (Mage = 32.05) participated and completed the MDS, Realistic and Symbolic Threat Scales, Social…
Beyond Affect Transfer
Brand placements are omnipresent in video games. However, when and how they influence players’ brand attitudes is still insufficiently understood. Whereas previous research argued that positive affect transfers from the game to the placed brands and elevates brand attitudes, we propose and test that players form associations of the placed brands with specific attributes depending on the specific placement context. In a 2 × 2 within-subjects exper…
The Minority Dilemma in Communication
Minority group membership is often explicitly mentioned in news reports, while majority membership is unstated. This results in an overrepresentation of minority labels in negative contexts (e.g., crime reports). While this may reflect motivated biases to derogate minorities, we propose it may also result from a basic cognitive principle of differentiation. Distinctive features, such as minority status, are more likely to attract attention, be re…
Are Stereotypes About Minorities More Negative
Various theories on intergroup bias predict that stereotypes about minorities are more negative than those about majorities. Although there is clear evidence that specific minorities are often subject to negative stereotypes, a systematic test of the relationship between group size and stereotype valence across various social groups is lacking. We conducted a multinational study across seven Western European countries to examine this relationship…

Evaluative conditioning with multiple unconditioned stimuli – Integration at judgment
Who shows the Unlikelihood Effect – and why
Recent work shows that people judge an outcome as less likely when they learn the probabilities of all single pathways that lead to that outcome, a phenomenon termed the Unlikelihood Effect . The initial explanation for this effect is that the low pathway probabilities trigger thoughts that deem the outcome unlikely. We tested the alternative explanation that the effect results from people’s erroneous interpretation and processing of the probabil…
The role of category valence in prototype preference
People prefer prototypical stimuli over atypical stimuli. The dominant explanation for this prototype preference effect is that prototypical stimuli are processed more fluently. However, a more recent account proposes that prototypes are more strongly associated with their category's valence, leading to a reversed prototype preference effect for negative categories. One critical but untested assumption of this category-valence account is that no …
Just Playing the Role of Good Study Participants? Evaluative Conditioning, Demand Compliance, and Agreeableness
Evaluative Conditioning (EC) is the change in liking of stimuli due to their co-occurrence with other valenced stimuli. Recent research has shown stronger EC effects for more agreeable individuals. Because EC procedures are prone to demand characteristics, we hypothesized that more agreeable individuals might simply play the role of good study participants and therefore show stronger EC effects. We tested this in two preregistered experiments ( N…
Mood and fluency
We explored the impact of mood on the judgemental consequences of word pronounceability in six Experiments (1 preregistered, total N = 1183). Positive and negative mood was induced via video clips (all but Experiment 4) and subliminal affective primes (Experiment 4). Additionally, participants were presented with easy‐ and difficult‐to‐pronounce letter strings. These were framed as target words to be judged for liking (Experiments 1–2), as names …
The interplay of multiple unconditioned stimuli in evaluative conditioning
Evaluative conditioning (EC) is a key effect in attitude formation, leading to changes in the liking of neutral attitude objects due to their pairing with positive or negative stimuli. Despite EC's significance, current theories and most empirical findings are limited to stimulus pairings with a single affective stimulus at a time. In contrast, social environments often involve more complex combinations of affective stimuli. In this article, we i…
Intergroup bias in perceived trustworthiness among few or many minimal groups
In diversifying societies, people are inevitably exposed to an increasing number of outgroups. As impressions of outgroups are more negative than those of ingroups, this may overall lead to more negative social attitudes and behaviors. In six preregistered experiments ( N total = 1832) using a minimal group paradigm, we investigated whether the mere number of groups influences the perceived trustworthiness of ingroups, outgroups, and the total po…
On the emergence of the in–out effect across trials
Individuals prefer letter strings whose consonantal articulation spots move from the front of the mouth to the back (e.g., BAKA, inward) over those with a reversed consonant order (e.g., KABA, outward), the so-called in–out effect. The present research explores whether individuals hold an internal standard or scheme of consonant order that triggers this effect. If this were the case, the in–out effect should already occur in one-trial between-sub…
Articulation dynamics and evaluative conditioning
People prefer linguistic stimuli with an inward (e.g. BODIKA) over those with an outward articulation dynamic (e.g. KODIBA), a phenomenon known as the articulatory in-out effect. Despite its robustness across languages and contexts, the phenomenon is still poorly understood. To learn more about the effect’s boundary conditions, mental representation, and origin, we crossed the in-out effect with evaluative conditioning research. In five experimen…

A many-analysts approach to the relation between religiosity and well-being
The relation between religiosity and well-being is one of the most researched topics in the psychology of religion, yet the directionality and robustness of the effect remains debated. Here, we adopted a many-analysts approach to assess the robustness of this relation based on a new cross-cultural dataset (N=10,535 participants from 24 countries). We recruited 120 analysis teams to investigate (1) whether religious people self-report higher well-…
The articulatory in-out effect
349), we find strong support for the original idea of trajectory preferences but no evidence for the consonant preference account. Our research shows that preferences for articulation trajectories are robust and cannot be explained by mere consonant preferences. We discuss further implications of these findings for future research on the processes involved in the empirical in-out effect. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved…
