Shared Group Memberships Mitigate Intergroup Bias in Cooperation
Research on cooperation between groups tends to consider a single social identity at a time. However, individuals naturally share group membership in one social category (e.g., religious belief) while diverging in membership to others (e.g., political ideology). Here, we test the effects of mixed-group membership on actual cooperative behavior relative to completely sharing (in-group) and completely diverging (out-group) group memberships. In thr…
Political-Ideological Differences in Cultural Pessimism and Nostalgia Reflect People’s Evaluation of Their Nation’s Historical Developments
Western conservatives are more focused on the past than are liberals: They experience stronger cultural pessimism and nostalgically yearn back for past society. We test the hypothesis that this ideological difference reflects long-term national-historical developments, by comparing ideological differences in the United States and Türkiye. Using archival data, Study 1 confirms that whereas U.S. society over the last century moved in a liberal dire…
Typical is Trustworthy - Evidence for a Generalized Heuristic
When judging whether someone is trustworthy, people rely on the perceptual typicality of a person’s face. We tested whether a more general typical-is-trustworthy heuristic exists based on the descriptive typicality of a person. In four experiments, we provided participants with descriptive information about the typicality of target persons’ attributes (i.e., population prevalence) and measured perceived trustworthiness. Participants consistently …
Interpersonal Closeness Impairs Decision Memory
We hypothesized that self-other confusion as a result of interpersonal closeness impairs people’s memory of their own decisions. Four studies (min N = 352) tested whether closeness affects memory in cooperative decisions. Participants played trust games in which they entrusted resources to another person and then had to recall their own decisions. Study 1 showed that people with an independent self-construal recalled their decisions more accurate…
The cognitive cost of closeness: Interpersonal closeness reduces accuracy and slows down decision‐making
Interpersonal closeness increases the overlap between mental representations of the self and the other, thus rendering it more difficult to differentiate between self‐ and other‐related information. We suggest that closeness challenges computational capacity during decision‐making when the decision requires a differentiation between self‐ and other‐related information. Correlational Study 1 showed that when participants imagined engaging in a two…
