Acute stress is associated with increased auditory distraction
Attentional Control Theory suggests that acute stress reduces the efficiency of working memory and top-down control, increasing susceptibility to distraction. In contrast, Cognitive Reallocation accounts suggest that acute stress narrows attentional focus and potentially reduces distraction. We tested these competing predictions using a cross-modal oddball task, comparing participants exposed to an acute stressor, via a realistic firefighter trai…
No evidence for a vibrotactile changing-state effect in serial recall
One way to develop theories of forgetting in short-term memory is to introduce novel sources of distraction. A recent study reported a vibrotactile changing-state effect, suggesting that a sequence of irrelevant vibrations can disrupt visual-verbal serial recall if it contains variation. The present study aimed to replicate and extend this finding. But Experiment 1 found no evidence of a vibrotactile changing-state effect in visual-verbal serial …
It would feel weird to not drive my car! Exploring the role of habits in public policy acceptance of carbon taxations
This study aims to expand the understanding of public acceptance of carbon taxes by exploring the role of habits. Habits play a pivotal role in guiding our behaviors and reasoning and can even influence our self perception and identity but remain an underexplored variable in relation to public policy acceptance. We employed a large scale ( N > 5200) national survey to measure public acceptance of higher carbon taxation in Sweden, also capturing c…
Overcoming the headwinds
This paper explores wind power attitudes in Sweden, considering the proximity of wind power installations, using a large-scale survey (N = 5280). The study examines if attitudes were affected by policies that provide collective financial benefits through municipal tax revenues, personal benefits through direct compensation, or openings for democratic involvement. Only 15 % of the respondents expressed negative attitudes to wind power as a measure…
Irregular stimulus distribution increases the negative footprint illusion
As a climate change mitigation strategy, environmentally certified ‘green’ buildings with low carbon footprints are becoming more prevalent in the world. An interesting psychological question is how people perceive the carbon footprint of these buildings given their spatial distributions in a given community. Here we examine whether regular distribution (i.e., buildings organized in a block) or irregular distribution (i.e., buildings randomly dis…
