Contrary to conventional wisdom, there is little empirical evidence that elevated power, by default, fuels conflict and aggression. Instead, previous studies have shown that extraneous factors that decrease powerholders’ perceived worth, making power...

Integrating who “we” are with what “we” (will not) stand for: A further extension of the Social Identity Model of Collective Action (2018)
Journal Article
van Zomeren, M., Kutlaca, M., & Turner-Zwinkels, F. (2018). Integrating who “we” are with what “we” (will not) stand for: A further extension of the Social Identity Model of Collective Action. European Review of Social Psychology, 29(1), 122-160. https://doi.org/10.1080/10463283.2018.1479347

Collective action refers to any action that individuals undertake as group members to pursue group goals such as social change. In this chapter, we further extend the Social Identity Model of Collective Action (SIMCA) by including not just (politicis...

At Least Bias Is Bipartisan: A Meta-Analytic Comparison of Partisan Bias in Liberals and Conservatives (2018)
Journal Article
Ditto, P., Liu, B., Clark, C., Wojcik, S., Chen, E., Grady, R., …Zinger, J. (2019). At Least Bias Is Bipartisan: A Meta-Analytic Comparison of Partisan Bias in Liberals and Conservatives. Perspectives on Psychological Science, 14(2), 273-291. https://doi.org/10.1177/1745691617746796

Both liberals and conservatives accuse their political opponents of partisan bias, but is there empirical evidence that one side of the political aisle is indeed more biased than the other? To address this question, we meta-analyzed the results of 51... Read More about At Least Bias Is Bipartisan: A Meta-Analytic Comparison of Partisan Bias in Liberals and Conservatives.

Are morally good actions ever free? (2018)
Journal Article
Clark, C., Shniderman, A., Luguri, J., Baumeister, R., & Ditto, P. (2018). Are morally good actions ever free?. Consciousness and Cognition, 63, 161-182. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.concog.2018.05.006

Research has shown that people ascribe more responsibility to morally bad actions than both morally good and neutral ones, suggesting that people do not attribute responsibility to morally good actions. The present work demonstrates that this is not... Read More about Are morally good actions ever free?.

Illumination discrimination in the absence of a fixed surface-reflectance layout (2018)
Journal Article
Radonjić, A., Ding, X., Krieger, A., Aston, S., Hurlbert, A. C., & Brainard, D. H. (2018). Illumination discrimination in the absence of a fixed surface-reflectance layout. Journal of Vision, 18(5), Article 11. https://doi.org/10.1167/18.5.11

Previous studies have shown that humans can discriminate spectral changes in illumination and that this sensitivity depends both on the chromatic direction of the illumination change and on the ensemble of surfaces in the scene. These studies, howeve... Read More about Illumination discrimination in the absence of a fixed surface-reflectance layout.

Investigating the link between television viewing and men’s preferences for female body size and shape in rural Nicaragua (2018)
Journal Article
Thornborrow, T., Jucker, J., Boothroyd, L., & Tovée, M. (2018). Investigating the link between television viewing and men’s preferences for female body size and shape in rural Nicaragua. Evolution and Human Behavior, 39(5), 538-546. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.evolhumbehav.2018.05.005

The different levels of media access in otherwise very similar villages in rural Nicaragua provided a natural laboratory to explore the effect of television (TV) access on men's preferences for female body size and shape. In study 1 we compared the f... Read More about Investigating the link between television viewing and men’s preferences for female body size and shape in rural Nicaragua.

Hemispheric Asymmetries in Categorical Facial Expression Perception (2018)
Journal Article
Burt, D., & Hausmann, M. (2019). Hemispheric Asymmetries in Categorical Facial Expression Perception. Emotion, 19(4), 584-592. https://doi.org/10.1037/emo0000460

Although many sensory phenomena vary continuously, humans tend to divide them into discrete categories with facial expressions being divided into categories such as happy, sad, anger, and fear. A critical effect of category use is categorical percept... Read More about Hemispheric Asymmetries in Categorical Facial Expression Perception.

Impact of calorie labelling in worksite cafeterias: a stepped wedge randomised controlled pilot trial (2018)
Journal Article
Vasiljevic, M., Cartwright, E., Pilling, M., Lee, M., Bignardi, G., Pechey, R., …Marteau, T. (2018). Impact of calorie labelling in worksite cafeterias: a stepped wedge randomised controlled pilot trial. International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity, 15, Article 41. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12966-018-0671-7

Background: For working adults, about one-third of energy is consumed in the workplace making this an important context in which to reduce energy intake to tackle obesity. The aims of the current study were first, to identify barriers to the feasibil... Read More about Impact of calorie labelling in worksite cafeterias: a stepped wedge randomised controlled pilot trial.
