Why do depressed people prefer sad music
One of the cardinal symptoms of major depressive disorder (MDD) is persistent sadness. Do people with MDD actually prefer sad stimuli, potentially perpetuating their depression? Millgram, Joormann, Huppert, and Tamir (2015) observed such preferences and interpreted them as reflecting a maladaptive emotion regulatory goal to upregulate sad feelings. We assessed emotional music choice among both those with MDD and healthy controls (HC), and assesse…
Good fortune but bad luck? Predictable versus unpredictable gains and losses in risky choice
This study examines the effects of two different types of good and bad experiences on risk‐taking preferences: fortune and luck. We define fortune as a relatively stable positive or negative context within which choices are made and luck as a more unpredictable series of better or worse outcomes. With the use of a lottery‐based paradigm, fortune was operationalized as a preponderance of all‐gain or all‐loss two‐outcome option pairs within a large…
Improving Accuracy on Bayesian Inference Problems Using a Brief Tutorial
Research suggests that most people struggle when asked to interpret the outcomes of diagnostic tests such as those presented as Bayesian inference problems. To help people interpret these difficult problems, we created a brief tutorial, requiring less than 10 minutes, that guided participants through the creation of an aid (either graph or table) based on an example inference problem and then showed the correct way to calculate the positive predi…
Emerging Perspectives on Judgment and Decision Research
Experimental and Quasi-Experimental Designs in Behavioral Research: On Context, Crud, and Convergence
An excellent guidebook through different approaches to social science measurement, including the all-important route-maps that show us how to get there' - Roger Jowell, City University. 'Over the last decade at least there has been an avalanche of social research methods books, almost all of which are concerned to unproblematically purvey methodological material to ever more particular market niches, often using purportedly new repackagings What …
Incidental framing effects and associative processes: A study of attribute frames in broadcast news stories
Most studies of the effects of framing decision alternatives either positively or negatively have focused on planned, intentional evaluations of those alternatives. To better understand these effects, we broadened the range of investigation to focus on the kinds of incidental evaluations that often occur in real‐world contexts. Participants listened to one of four variations of a campus radio news broadcast, ostensibly to provide input for future…
Understanding Denial in Sexual Offenders: A Review of Cognitive and Motivational Processes to Avoid Responsibility
Treatment of sexual offenders is routinely complicated by the presence of denial. This article examines how denial is related to the willingness to take responsibility for offense-related thoughts and actions and how conceptualizations of denial have developed and changed over time. Multiple facets of denial are described in detail, along with an assessment of how different forms of denial undermine acceptance of responsibility throughout treatme…
In search of realistic optimism: Meaning, knowledge, and warm fuzziness
Is it better to be realistic or optimistic? A realistic outlook improves chances to negotiate the environment successfully, whereas an optimistic outlook places priority on feeling good. But are realistic and optimistic outlooks necessarily in conflict? The author suggests that the fuzzy nature of accuracy typically places only loose boundaries on what it means to be realistic. As a result, there are many forms of optimism that do not, in princip…
All Frames Are Not Created Equal: A Typology and Critical Analysis of Framing Effects
Applicants' Fraud in Law Enforcement
Applicants' fraud in the form of “self-inflation” bias discriminates against the “honest” applicant who does not engage in a deceptive self-presentation. The MMPI dissimulation index is one measure of “self-inflation” or “faking-good,” which, in this study, was used to assess whether the index differentiated police applicants on the basis of disciplinary suspension days. A statistically significant relationship was observed. A 16-point T-score di…
