Perspective-taking in capital punishment decisions
Perspective-taking has been theorized to be a central psychological process in how people make punishment decisions. However, previous research has only tested theory in low-stakes or hypothetical contexts.

In examining the predictors of perspectiv…
Identity Over Time: Perceived Similarity Between Selves Predicts Well-Being 10 Years Later
When individuals feel similar to their future self, they are more likely to delay present gratification and make plans for the long run. But do these feelings of similarity actually correspond with heightened well-being for the future self? Theoretically, making patient decisions in the present could lead to a future self who is better off and thus more satisfied. Alternatively, perceived overlap with the future self could cause people to continu…
An Identity-Threat Perspective on Discrimination Attributions by Women of Color
The model of stigma-induced identity threat suggests that stigmatized individuals use situational cues (e.g., presence of an out-group member) to assess the identity threat potential of, or the risk of experiencing discrimination in, their environments. To date, however, this model has been tested in samples of participants with only one stigmatized identity. In three studies, we show that women of color attribute rejection to sexism more than ra…

In God with Us, historian Ansley Quiros argues convincingly that this period must be understood not only in “social, political, and cultural” terms (7) but also as a “bitter theological struggle over race and religion” (40) involving “competing visions of orthodoxy” (8). Qu…
