When Due Process Is of No Consequence
Folk conceptions of fairness and unfairness
This study sought to identify the standards people invoke when judging the fairness or unfairness of outcomes of everyday events, and to determine whether their standards of judgment vary according to the fairness of the outcome and to their perspective, i.e. whether the outcomes are ones they personally experienced or witnessed. The standards of fairness laypeople were found to invoke, even when unprompted, coincided with the standards social sc…
Cancellation and Focus
A cancellation-and-focus model of choice is presented. This model proposes a comparison process involving the matching of the features of the items in the choice set. The process emphasizes the direction of comparison, that is, which alternative is the starting point (Subject) of comparison and which is the target (Referent) of comparison. The features of the Subject are mapped onto the Referent. In addition, the model stresses the cancellation o…
Faster Orientation Latencies Toward Native Language in Two-Month-Old Infants
There is increasing evidence that infants can discriminate native and non-native speech from an early age. Prosody may be essential to this ability. In this paper, we assess the amount of linguistic information needed by 2-month-old infants to recognize whether or not a sentence belongs to their native language. We conducted a cross-linguistic study of French and American 2-month-old infants, measuring the latency of the first ocular saccade towa…
Persuasiveness of in-group and out-group political messages
Two experiments investigated the processes underlying evaluation of in-group and out-group political messages from candidates involved in a negative political campaign. The effectiveness of different types of attack messages depended on (a) the political affiliation with the source and target of an attack message and (b) the justification provided for the attack. Experiment 1 demonstrated that the content of the attack messages affected evaluatio…
Cancellation and Focus
Feature matching, unique features, and the dynamics of the choice process
Legal, social, and biological definitions of pedophilia
Empathy and the self
Biased Processing as a Function of Attitude Accessibility
The effect of attitude accessibility on the evaluation of attitude relevant information was examined. In Experiment 1, attitudes toward a contemporary public issue (capital punishment) and the accessibility of those attitudes, as indicated by latency of response to the attitudinal inquiry, were measured. Attitude accessibility was found to moderate the extent of the relation between attitudes and judgments of such information. Biased processing w…
