Gentrification in secondhand economies
As climate change intensifies, the global scientific community has increasingly called for changes to dominant systems of production–consumption–disposal, arguing that there is a need to shift to more circular economic systems – systems that prioritise source reduction and reuse over disposal and incineration. As used goods are increasingly seen as the new resource frontier, reuse practices have become mainstream. However, we question if this mai…

The present work experimentally examines whether a Spanish-speaking healthcare provider (an identity safety cue) increases the anticipated quality of care and healthcare utilization intentions of Latinx Americans ( N = 180) and whether this effect is moderated by ethnic centrality. We find that providing Spanish-language services, versus not, on a healthcare facility's webpage significantly increases both anticipated quality of care and healthcar…
Millennials versus Gen Z
Ready for the next step
Ample research examines the importance of one's commitment level to their romantic relationship; however, individuals' desire for progressive levels of commitment has received less attention in the literature. In the current studies, we introduce the novel concept of commitment amplification (i.e., the desire to become more committed in one's romantic relationship) by developing and validating a new scale (the Commitment Amplification Scale). Add…
How Can I Get Covid
Changes in Utilization of Birth Control and PrEP During Covid-19 in the USA
In the USA, the COVID-19 pandemic has created challenges beyond the direct consequences of the infection. Because of shifting resources in response to need, many domains within the healthcare sector unrelated to COVID-19 have had interrupted abilities to provide care. In the current study, we focus on preventative sexual health care during the pandemic. In a sample of 511 (mean age = 27.7) people, we examined quantitative data regarding continuat…
Examining the relationship between weight controllability beliefs and eating behaviors
Disclosure and concealment of stigmatized identities
Cumulative consequences of stigma
Large health disparities exist between stigmatized and nonstigmatized groups. In addition to experiencing and anticipating greater discrimination, members of stigmatized groups also tend to demonstrate greater ruminative tendencies in response, which may lead to these poor health outcomes. Even among stigmatized groups, differences in the visibility of stigma lead to different mechanisms through which stigma takes its toll. Previous work has prim…
Racialized images
As race acts as a social frame of reference, it should guide individual's appraisal of visual representations of social events and issues. Thus, grounded in Scherer's (2009) model of appraisal as a sequential process, in 2 experiments (N = 133, 166) we used early event-related potentials (ERPs) of brain activity (the N100, P200, P300) to examine Black and White participants' appraisals of the novelty of images of police force against Black (and W…
Race and Reaction
Since 2012, the United States has seen a renewed focus on police killings of racial and ethnic minorities, as well as protest against such violence. Moreover, recent polling data show an intensification of long‐standing differences in Black and White Americans’ attitudes toward police violence and protest. Here, we review recent polling, as well as our own series of experiments, to elucidate racial divides in attention, attitudes, and reactions t…
