Nostalgia and temporal self-appraisal: Divergent evaluations of past and present selves
Hannah Osborn, Keith D Markman et al.ARTICLESelf and Identity2020
The present research examined how nostalgia influences temporal self-appraisals and whether those appraisals relate to current mood. Across two studies, participants recalled either an ordinary or nostalgic memory and provided appraisals of their present and past selves. Participants who recalled nostalgic memories evaluated their past selves more positively than their present selves, whereas the reverse occurred for those who recalled ordinary m…
The psychology of meaning.
Keith D Markman, Travis Proulx et al.BOOKThe psychology of meaning2013
From moral philosophy and existentialism to the clinical realm of psychotherapy, The Psychology of Meaning explores the multifaceted nature of this highly subjective construct. The volume's contributors examine meaning along five dimensions - the architecture of meaning, responding to uncertainty, meaning from retrospection, compensating for meaning violations, and restoring meaning: physiological and neurocognitive mechanisms. The editors of thi…

Deconstructing Self-Blame Following Sexual Assault: The Critical Roles of Cognitive Content and Process
Open AccessAudrey K Miller, Ian M Handley et al.ARTICLEViolence Against Women2010Cited by: 4References: 11
As part of a larger study, predictors of self-blame were investigated in a sample of 149 undergraduate sexual assault survivors. Each participant completed questionnaires regarding their preassault, peritraumatic, and postassault experiences and participated in an individual interview. Results confirmed the central hypothesis that, although several established correlates independently relate to self-blame, only cognitive content and process varia…

A Reflection and Evaluation Model of Comparative Thinking
Open AccessKeith D Markman, Matthew N McMullenARTICLEPersonality and Social Psychology…2003
This article reviews research on counterfactual, social, and temporal comparisons and proposes a Reflection and Evaluation Model (REM) as an organizing framework. At the heart of the model is the assertion that 2 psychologically distinct modes of mental simulation operate during comparative thinking: reflection, an experiential (“as if”) mode of thinking characterized by vividly simulating that information about the comparison standard is true of…

Multiple explanation: A consider-an-alternative strategy for debiasing judgments
Edward R Hirt, Keith D MarkmanARTICLEJournal of Personality and Social…1995Cited by: 15
Previous research has suggested that an effective strategy for debiasing judgments is to have participants "consider the opposite." The present research proposes that considering any plausible alternative outcome for an event, not just the opposite outcome, leads participants to simulate multiple alternatives, resulting in debiased judgments. Three experiments tested this hypothesis using an explanation task paradigm. Participants in all studies …
