When fools have greater influence than liars
In an era of viral misinformation and pervasive truth-indifferent communication, understanding what shapes everyday beliefs about what is true has never been more consequential. Little is known about the consequences of Frankfurtian bullshit (i.e., communications with little to no regard for truth, evidence, or established knowledge). A potential consequence of Frankfurtian bullshit is a deleterious effect on what people perceive to be true. Thre…
Bullfighting in the business arena
Organizations frequently tolerate communication delivered without regard for truth, evidence, or established knowledge in decision-making and accountability contexts—what philosophers and psychologists term bullshit . Unlike lies, which deliberately subvert truth, bullshit represents an indifference to accuracy, which experimental research suggests may make it both more prevalent and paradoxically more persuasive in domains where evidence-based r…
Bullshitting and Bullibility – Conditions and Consequences
Bullshitting involves communicating with little to no regard for truth, established knowledge, or genuine evidence in a way that helps people impress, persuade, influence, or confuse others, or to embellish or explain things in an area in which their obligations to provide opinions exceed their actual knowledge in those domains. Put another way, bullshitting encompasses a set of rhetorical strategies employed to help a person sound like they know…
Social perception and influence of lies vs. bullshit
Politically oriented bullshit detection
Bullshit results from communicating with little to no regard for truth, evidence, or established knowledge (Frankfurt, 1986; Petrocelli, 2018a). Such disregard for truth serves as a common source of antiscientific beliefs and endorsement of alternative facts and is thereby critical to understand. To examine how social perceptions of bullshit may be conditional upon the political orientation of a source and the extremity of one’s political attitud…
Self-Regulatory Aspects of Bullshitting and Bullshit Detection
Two experiments investigate the role of self-regulatory resources in bullshitting behavior (i.e., communicating with little to no regard for evidence, established knowledge, or truth; Frankfurt, 1986 ; Petrocelli, 2018a ), and receptivity and sensitivity to bullshit. It is hypothesized that evidence-based communication and bullshit detection require motivation and considerably greater self-regulatory resources relative to bullshitting and insensi…

If only I could stop generating counterfactual thoughts”
Counterfactual potency
Counterfactual thoughts typically take the form of implied or explicit if-then statements. We propose that the multiplicative combination of "if likelihood" (the degree to which the antecedent condition of the counterfactual is perceived to be likely) and "then likelihood" (the perceived conditional likelihood of the outcome of the counterfactual, given the antecedent condition) determine the strength and impact of counterfactuals. This construct…

Perceiving stability as a means to attitude certainty
Counterfactual thinking and confidence in blackjack
Event detail and confidence in gambling
Psychophysiological Response Patterns and Risky Sexual Behavior in Heterosexual and Homosexual Men
Attentional processes in stereotype formation
Stereotype formation may be based on the exaggeration of real group differences (category accentuation) or the misperception of group differences that do not exist (illusory correlation). This research sought to account for both phenomena with J. K. Kruschke's (1996, 2001, 2003) attention theory of category learning. According to the model, the features of majority groups are learned earlier than the features of minority groups. In turn, the feat…
Unpacking attitude certainty
Attitude certainty has been the subject of considerable attention in the attitudes and persuasion literature. The present research identifies 2 aspects of attitude certainty and provides evidence for the distinctness of the constructs. Specifically, it is proposed that attitude certainty can be conceptualized, and empirically separated, in terms of attitude clarity (the subjective sense that one knows what one's attitude is) and attitude correctn…
Examining Readiness for Change
The authors describe use and development of the University of Rhode Island Change Assessment (E. I. McConnaughy, J. O. Prochaska. & W. F. Velicer. 1983) and examine the psychometric properties of scores from incarcerated male adolescents. Cluster analysts revealed 3 unique profiles (Precontemplators, Participators, and Undifferentiated). Im-plications for clinical use with adolescent populations are discussed
A functional perspective on group memberships
Hierarchical Multiple Regression in Counseling Research
A brief content analysis was conducted on the use of hierarchical regression in counseling research published in the Journal of Counseling Psychology and the Journal of Counseling & Development during the years 1997–2001. Common problems are cited and possible remedies are described
The Role of General Family Functioning in the Quality of the Mother-Daughter Relationship of Female African American Juvenile Offenders
Little investigative knowledge exists with regard to the roles that adolescent-parent relationships play in the development of female juvenile delinquency among African Americans. In the current investigation, the McMaster Family Assessment Device (FAD) and the Assessment of Interpersonal Relations were employed to examine 76 female African American juvenile offenders' perceptions of their existing family functioning characteristics and the quali…

Ambivalent Sexism Inventory
The Early Maladaptive Schema Questionnaire-Short Form
N. B. Schmidt, T. E. Joiner, J. E. Young, and M. J. Telch (1995) provided preliminary construct validity for scores from J. E. Young's (1990) 205-item Early Maladaptive Schema Questionnaire. The present study extends this work by examining the construct validity of scores from the shorter 75-item version of this instrument—the Early Maladaptive Schema Questionnaire-Short Form (J. E. Young, 1994)
