Does the same investment team create value? Evidence from venture capital syndication
We study the effect of repeated venture capital (VC) syndication on VC investment performance. We posit that repeated syndication is positively associated with stagnant investment returns but negatively associated with high investment returns. Using a large dataset from 1985 through 2017, we find support for our intuition. Additionally, our results show that periods of recession accentuate the positive (negative) relationship between repeated syn…
Monetary incentives have only limited effects on auditory distraction
The duplex-mechanism account of auditory distraction postulates that two distinct forms of auditory distraction can be distinguished by whether or not they can be cognitively controlled. While the interference-by-process component of auditory distraction is postulated to be automatic and independent of cognitive control, the stimulus-aspecific attention capture by auditory deviants and the stimulus-specific attentional diversion by auditorily pre…
Do they really wash their hands? Prevalence estimates for personal hygiene behaviour during the Covid-19 pandemic based on indirect questions
These results indicate that estimates of the degree of commitment to measures designed to counter the spread of the disease may be significantly inflated by social desirability in direct self-reports. Indirect questioning techniques with higher levels of confidentiality seem helpful in obtaining more realistic estimates of the degree to which people follow the recommended personal hygiene measures. More realistic estimates of compliance can help …
Attentional capture by taboo words
It is well established that task-irrelevant, to-be-ignored speech adversely affects serial short-term memory (STM) for visually presented items compared with a quiet control condition. However, there is an ongoing debate about whether the semantic content of the speech has the capacity to capture attention and to disrupt memory performance. In the present article, we tested whether taboo words are more difficult to ignore than neutral words. Tabo…
Effects of Gender on Costly Punishment
Women are often believed to be more cooperative and less egoistic than men. In the present study, we examined whether people punish women for failing to live up to these benevolent gender stereotypes. Participants played a prisoner's dilemma game with female and male partners who either cooperated or defected. Participants were offered a costly punishment option. They could spend money to decrease the payment of their partners. In Experiment 1, p…
Memory Enhanced for Cheaters Versus Non-cheaters
Social Reasoning Affected by Rank (Mealey, Daood, Krage, 1996)
Emotional memory
Findings reported in the memory literature suggest that the emotional components of an encoding episode can be dissociated from nonemotional memory. In particular, it has been found that the previous association with threatening events can be retrieved in aversive conditioning even in the absence of item identification. In the present study, we test whether emotional source memory can be independent of item recognition. Participants saw pictures …
Remembering the snake in the grass
Research on the influence of emotion on source memory has yielded inconsistent findings. The object-based framework (Mather, 2007) predicts that negatively arousing stimuli attract attention, resulting in enhanced within-object binding, and, thereby, enhanced source memory for intrinsic context features of emotional stimuli. To test this prediction, we presented pictures of threatening and harmless animals, the color of which had been experimenta…
Influences of Age and Emotion on Source Guessing
The findings confirm that older adults are more susceptible to fear-relevant illusory correlations than younger adults
Source memory for faces is determined by their emotional evaluation
Previous research (Buchner, Bell, Mehl, & Musch, 2009) has shown that source memory for faces of cheaters, that is, memory for the cheating context in which these faces were encountered, is enhanced in comparison with source memory for faces of persons described as trustworthy. Experiment 1 shows that the source memory advantage for faces of cheaters is abolished when the cheating is of low, and the trustworthy behavior is of high, a priori valen…
Justice sensitivity and source memory for cheaters
No enhanced recognition memory, but better source memory for faces of cheaters
Statistical power analyses using G*Power 3.1
No enhanced memory for faces of cheaters
A short tutorial of GPower
The purpose of this paper is to promote statistical power analysis in the behavioral sciences by introducing the easy to use GPower software. GPower is a free general power analysis program available in two essentially equivalent versions, one designed for Macintosh OS/OS X and the other for MS-DOS/Windows platforms. Psychological research examples are presented to illustrate the various features of the GPower software. In particular, a priori, p…

On the bounded rationality of gender stereotyping in fame judgments
The false‐fame effect is the phenomenon that familiar names are falsely judged famous more often than unfamiliar names. M.R. Banaji and A.G. Greenwald ( 1995 ) demonstrated a gender bias in the false‐fame effect: In line with existing gender stereotypes, the false‐fame effect was larger for male than for female names. A more general explanation for gender biasing in fame judgments is based on cognitive availability. Name gender could be used as a…
