Registered report: Stress testing predictive models of ideological prejudice Open
In this registered report, we stress-tested existing models for predicting the ideology-prejudice association, which varies in size and direction across target groups. Previous models of this relationship use perceived ideology, status, an…

Do Mismatches Between Individual and Target Group Personality Predict Prejudice? Open
Previous research suggests that personality predicts prejudice and has begun to explore how the characteristics of target groups may moderate this relationship. We took a new direction in this literature, examining whether the relationship…

Registered report: Cognitive ability, but not cognitive reflection, predicts expressing greater political animosity and favouritism Open
Liberals and conservatives both express political animosity and favouritism. However, less is known about whether the same or different factors contribute to this phenomenon among liberals and conservatives. We test three different relatio…

Registered report protocol: Stress testing predictive models of ideological prejudice Open
In this registered report, we propose to stress-test existing models for predicting the ideology-prejudice association, which varies in size and direction across target groups. Previous models of this relationship use the perceived ideolog…

Stereotypes as Bayesian prediction of social groups Open
A stereotype is a generalization about a class of people which is often used to make probabilistic predictions about individuals within that class. Can stereotypes can be understood as conditional probabilities that distinguish among group…

A computational framework for distinguishing motivated reasoning and practical rationality Open
People are motivated to maintain their beliefs, often leading them to ignore or reinterpret information to support what they think. What psychological mechanisms give rise to this phenomenon, and how can we distinguish the impact of motiva…

The development of practical rationality Open
When the evidence for two hypotheses is unclear, but the rewards for believing them are not, what should we do? Probability theory states we ought to remain agnostic and follow the evidence. However, Blaise Pascal argued that it's practica…

A Bayesian decision-theoretic framework for studying motivated reasoning Open
Psychological, political, cultural, and sociological factors shape how people form and revise their beliefs. An established finding across these fields is that people are motivated to hold onto their beliefs even in the face of evidence by…

Stereotypes as Bayesian Judgements of Social Groups Open
A stereotype is a generalization about people within a certain category––and category information is often used to make probabilistic predictions about people within a particular group. The current work examines whether stereotypes can be …
