Many Analysts, One Data Set: Making Transparent How Variations in Analytic Choices Affect Results
Twenty-nine teams involving 61 analysts used the same data set to address the same research question: whether soccer referees are more likely to give red cards to dark-skin-toned players than to light-skin-toned players. Analytic approaches varied widely across the teams, and the estimated effect sizes ranged from 0.89 to 2.93 ( Mdn = 1.31) in odds-ratio units. Twenty teams (69%) found a statistically significant positive effect, and 9 teams (31%…
The Behavioral Immune System and Attitudes About Vaccines: Contamination Aversion Predicts More Negative Vaccine Attitudes
The present research utilized evolutionary theory to examine the relation between the behavioral immune system (i.e., disgust sensitivity) and attitudes about vaccines. The findings from the studies suggest that higher levels of dispositional disgust sensitivity is predictive of more negative attitudes toward vaccines. These findings are consistent with several recent publications and thus have broad implications for public health research associ…
In defense of pathogen disgust and disease avoidance: A response to Tybur et al. (2015)
Techniques for Measuring Selective Exposure: A Critical Review
Prior research has identified selective exposure (i.e., the tendency to consume information that is consistent with one's existing beliefs) as a phenomenon that may reduce the likelihood that individuals are exposed to diverse information or perspectives. However, weaknesses associated with techniques commonly used to measure selective exposure have led to ambiguity in the interpretation of past results and inconsistency in findings across studie…
Interracial roommate relationships: A mechanism for promoting sense of belonging at university and academic performance
Individual Differences in the Behavioral Immune System and the Emergence of Cultural Systems
Cultural variation may be evoked through the interaction between domain-specific psychological mechanisms and environmental conditions (Gangestad, Haselton, & Buss, 2006 ). One such constellation of mechanisms is the behavioral immune system, a cluster of psychological processes evolved to promote disease-avoidance ( Schaller, 2006 ). Previous research demonstrated that higher levels of both historic and contemporary pathogen prevalence are predi…
Valence Asymmetry in Attitude Formation: A Correlate of Political Ideology
A considerable amount of research indicates that political conservatives and liberals perceive their social worlds very differently, with conservatives perceiving the world more negatively than liberals. Two studies examined how these varying perceptions may develop by exploring the relation between political ideology and attitude formation. In both studies, participants completed an evaluative conditioning paradigm in which novel stimuli were pa…
