Social mobility beliefs lower preferences for genetically-modified foods
This multi-study investigation explores the influence of Social Mobility Beliefs (SMB) on consumer preference for genetically-modified (GM) foods. Study 1 (N = 500) involved a survey, while Studies 2 (N = 261) and 3 (N = 300) employed experimental manipulations of SMB. Results demonstrate that higher SMB correlate with less favorable preferences for GM foods due to a heightened importance of adhering to social norms, which include those against G…
How Long Has It Been? Self-Construal and Subjective Time Perception
Do people with independent and interdependent self-construals perceive the amount of time that has passed differently? Results from four experiments (one preregistered) and three supplementary ones reveal that an independent (vs. interdependent) self-construal elongates time perception by making individuals feel that more time has passed than in reality. We find evidence that this is likely because an independent self-construal increases arousal …

The moderating role of processing style in risk perceptions and risky decision making
When evaluating risks, such as skydiving or taking an experimental drug, there are both possible harms and benefits to consider. In the current research, we hypothesize that individuals evaluating risks visually possibly see greater potential harms—but not more potential benefits—compared with those doing so verbally. This is likely because visualizing risks is inherently an affective experience, and negative affect (e.g., potential harms in risk…
