  • Frontal alpha asymmetry as a marker of approach motivation? Insights from a cooperative forking path analysis

    Katharina Paul, André Beauducel et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality and Social…2025Cited by: 1

    740). Frontal asymmetry was measured during a resting period, a picture viewing task, and a guessing task, which were expected to trigger different levels of approach motivation. Results showed that frontal asymmetry was not reliably affected by task manipulations and did not relate to self-reported traits. Furthermore, Bayesian statistics and a cooperative forking path analysis were used to supplement the preregistered analyses. To conclude, thi…

  • Individual differences in inhibitory control are not related to downregulation of negative emotion via distancing

    Anne Gärtner, Philippe Jawinski et al.ARTICLEEmotion2022

    Evidence suggests that cognitive control and emotional control share partly the same cognitive processes. For example, downregulation of negative emotions requires inhibiting or limiting the expression of a prepotent appraisal of a situation in favor of selecting an alternative appraisal. Although inhibitory control seems to be a particularly relevant process in emotion regulation (ER), previous studies reported inconsistent findings on their rel…

  • No relation of Need for Cognition to basic executive functions

    Open AccessAnne Gärtner, Julia Grass et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality2021

    OBJECTIVE: Need for Cognition (NFC) refers to a personality trait describing the relatively stable intrinsic motivation of individuals to invest cognitive effort in cognitive endeavors. Higher NFC is associated with a more elaborated, central information processing style and increased recruitment of resources in cognitively demanding situations. To further clarify the association between cognitive resources and NFC, we examined in two studies how…

  • Dispositional individual differences in cognitive effort investment

    Open AccessCorinna Kührt, Sebastian Pannasch et al.ARTICLEBMC Psychology2021

    Taken together, our results integrate disparate literatures on cognitive motivation and self-control and provide a basis for further experimental research on the role of dispositional individual differences in goal-directed behavior and cost-benefit-models

  • Same or Different? Clarifying the Relationship of Need for Cognition to Personality and Intelligence

    Open AccessMonika Fleischhauer, Sören Enge et al.ARTICLEPersonality and Social Psychology…2010

    Need for cognition (NFC) refers to an individual’s tendency to engage in and enjoy effortful cognitive processing. So far, little attention has been paid to a systematic evaluation of the distinctiveness of NFC from traits with similar conceptualization and from intelligence. The present research contributes to filling this gap by examining the relation of NFC to well-established personality concepts (Study 1) and to a comprehensive measure of in…
