Coverage of recent criticisms of Milgram’s obedience experiments in introductory social psychology textbooks
This article has two purposes: (a) to broaden awareness of recent criticisms of Milgram’s obedience experiments by providing a relatively inclusive review of them interlaced within a discussion of Gina Perry’s main substantive criticisms and (b) to report the findings of our coverage analysis for recent criticisms in current introductory social psychology textbooks. Our findings on coverage of recent criticisms were consistent with those of past …
When Illnesses or Accidents Befall Others
Self-Narcissism and Interpersonal Attraction to Narcissistic others
In the first of a two-part study, 172 participants completed a questionnaire on personality and career preferences. Items from the Narcissism Scale of the Million Clinical Multiaxial Inventory were embedded in this questionnaire as well as a series of bogus items. In the second session conducted three weeks later, participants watched a videotaped dramatization of either a male or female enacting a narcissistic role and completed a modified versi…
Interpersonal Consequences of Narcissism
This study explored the interpersonal consequences of different levels of narcissism in male and female targets. The Narcissistic Personality Inventory and its four subscales were given to compare interpersonal responses of persons exhibiting extreme, moderate, and low scores on narcissism. Participants read one of four versions of the inventory completed by a fictitious student named "Tom" or "Ann." Analyses indicated that, while gender of parti…
The Positivity Bias in Attributions
Two experiments examined whether the attributions people made about others from their own or another culture were subject to a positivity bias, and whether these attributions were affected by a positive in-group bias. In Experiment 1, a Japanese sample made attributions to a person from Japan, the United States, or the Third World who was either promoted or demoted. In Experiment 2, a sample from the United States and the Third World made attribu…
The Public and Private Use of Consensus‐Raising Excuses
Two experiments tested the proposition that people use consensus‐raising excuses more in private than in public when the audience has information that could refute subjects' claims about others In Experiment 1, subjects received success or failure feedback and made public or private attributions to ability, effort, task difficulty, and luck In Experiment 2, subjects received positive or negative feedback and evaluated themselves and others on the…
The effect of subject's gender on judgments of similarity and choice of a comparison other
Perception of female and male success in the united states and third world nations
Sex differences in the assignment of responsibility for an accident
The effect of subject's race and other's race on judgments of causality for success and failure
This study examined the proposition that blacks and whites make dispositional attributions for an in-group's positive behaviors and an out-group's negative behaviors. The study also examined whether this positive in-group bias was caused by dislike of the out-group or belief in a stereotype. Thus, blacks and whites made attributions to black and white others who succeeded or failed on tasks for which there was either no stereotype or a more negat…
Relationship of State and Trait Anxiety to Grades in Educational Psychology
101 undergraduate students in educational psychology were assigned the writing of their own examination items. The best and worst of these items were used to compose two forms of a classroom test. The students were administered the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory before and after taking both forms of this test. Students tended to score higher on the good items ( p < .05) and the more State Anxious students tended to have lower course grades
The effect of expectancy on the assignment of responsibility for a misfortune1
Personality Correlates of Two Administrations of State-Trait Anxiety Inventory
Responses to two administrations of the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory given to four educational psychology classes correlated moderately with several sub-scales of the Profile of Mood States: Tension-Anxiety, Depression-Dejection, Anger-Hostility, and Confusion-Bewilderment
Equalitarianism, Curiosity, and Creativity
Dogmatism, age, and educational level as correlates of feminism for males and females
Effect of choice on receptivity to favorable and unfavorable evaluation of oneself
