Smiling after witnessing provocateur’s suffering
Previous research has shown that people derive pleasure from witnessing a provocateur suffer from retaliatory punishment, as indicated by increased activation of the zygomaticus major (ZM) and orbicularis oculi (OO) muscles, along with decreased activation of the corrugator supercilii (CS) muscle. This study examined whether participants (N = 43) would exhibit similar facial reactions when observing a competitor’s suffering from punishments admin…
Operant evaluative conditioning is sensitive to US-revaluation
368) were informed after stimulus conditioning that one currency had doubled in value while the other had lost all value. This postconditioning revaluation significantly shifted brand evaluations in favour of the response linked to the upvalued currency. The revaluation effect indicates that CS evaluations depended on the current value of the conditioned outcome, supporting an S:R-S account in which the US serves as a referent for CS evaluation. …
Re-visiting an affective modulation of stimulus-response binding and retrieval
134) we found clear evidence for S-R binding effects that were not modulated by the presentation of affective images in either timing condition. The results demonstrate that affective content does not modulate binding and retrieval
A perceptual control theory of emotional action
A theory is proposed that views emotional feelings as pivotal for action control. Feelings of emotions are valued interoceptive signals from the body that become multimodally integrated with perceptual contents from registered and mentally simulated events. During the simulation of a perceptual change from one event to the next, a conative feeling signal is created that codes for the wanting of a specific perceptual change. A wanted perceptual ch…
Associations do not energize behavior
Hundred years ago, Kurt Lewin published a series of articles in which he vehemently argued against the idea that associations between stimuli and responses motivate behavior. This article reviews his empirical work and theory and the cogency of Lewin’s conclusion according to modern standards. We conclude that Lewin’s criticism of the contiguity principle of associationism is still valid, and is now supported by a broad range of theories on learn…
Emotional arousal does not modulate stimulus-response binding and retrieval effects
The adaptation-by-binding account and the arousal-biased competition model suggest that emotional arousal increases binding effects for transient links between stimuli and responses. Two highly-powered, pre-registered experiments tested whether transient stimulus-response bindings are stronger for high versus low arousing stimuli. Emotional words were presented in a sequential prime-probe design in which stimulus relation, response relation, and …
Imitation of action-effects increases social affiliation
Imitating someone’s actions influences social-affective evaluations and motor performance for the action model and the imitator alike. Both phenomena are explained by the similarity between the sensory and motor representations of the action. Importantly, however, theoretical accounts of action control hold that actions are represented in terms of their sensory effects, which encompass features of the movement but also features of an action’s con…
Sweet Revenge Feels Less Bitter
Previous studies suggested that people feel better after revenge taking, while other studies showed that they feel worse. The interpretation of this research is however ambiguous due to its extensive reliance on self-report measures. The present research examined spontaneous affective responses after retaliatory punishments in a laboratory task using an indirect measure of affect (affect misattribution procedure). Experiment 1 showed positive rea…

What stops revenge taking? Effects of observed emotional reactions on revenge seeking
What reaction stops revenge taking? Four experiments (total N = 191) examined this question where the victim of an interpersonal transgression could observe the offender's reaction (anger, sadness, pain, or calm) to a retributive noise punishment. We compared the punishment intensity selected by the participant before and after seeing the offender's reaction. Seeing the opponent in pain reduced subsequent punishment most strongly, while displays …
No effects of explicit approach-avoidance training on immediate consumption of soft drinks
Gender Differences in Emotional Response
The present study investigated gender differences in both emotional experience and expressivity. Heart rate (HR) was recorded as an indicator of emotional experience while the participants watched 16 video clips that induced eight types of emotion (sadness, anger, horror, disgust, neutrality, amusement, surprise, and pleasure). We also asked the participants to report valence, arousal, and motivation as indicators of emotional expressivity. Overa…
The prepared emotional reflex
Advance preparation of action courses toward emotional stimuli is an effective means to regulate impulsive emotional behavior. Our experiment shows that performing intentional acts of approach and avoidance in an evaluation task influences the unintended activation of approach and avoidance tendencies in another task in which stimulus valence is irrelevant. For the evaluation-relevant blocks, participants received either congruent (positive-appro…
