Learning What to Inhibit: The Influence of Repeated Testing on the Encoding of Gender and Age Information Open
Psychological research has devoted considerable attention to the relationship between the multiple category dimensions that can be extracted from faces. In the present studies, we investigated the role of experience and learning on the way…

Large-scale cross-societal examination of real- and minimal-group biases Open
Biases in favor of culturally prevalent social ingroups are ubiquitous, but random assignment to arbitrary experimentally created social groups is also sufficient to create ingroup biases (i.e., the minimal group effect; MGE). The extent t…

Nonlinear relationships between eye gaze and recognition accuracy for ethnic ingroup and outgroup faces. Open
Researchers have used eye-tracking measures to explore the relationship between face encoding and recognition, including the impact of ethnicity on this relationship. Previous studies offer a variety of conflicting conclusions. This confus…

Triggering competence may protect multiple minority members from hiring discrimination Open
Hiring managers may consider hundreds of applicants for one position, leading to rapid decisions based on minimal information which may discriminate against certain individuals. However, past research shows that individuals belonging to mu…

A case of ‘de-immigrantization’: when sexual minority individuals lose immigrant status Open
Individuals generally hold multiple, and sometimes stereotypically contrasted, group memberships which may change depending on uncontrollable contextual factors. For instance, if someone is a foreigner, there exist certain social stereotyp…

Behavioral descriptions pretested for racial stereotypicality and valence: Data from an American and a Portuguese sample Open
In social psychology research, there are several kinds of stereotypical materials that can be used – faces, videos, lists of words, attributes. However, when it comes to behavioral sentences, there is a lack of pre-tested racial stimuli av…

The Effect of Pre-Event Instructions on Eyewitness Identification Stage 2 Registered Report Accepted Manuscript Open
Research on eyewitness identification often involves exposing participants to a simulated crime and later testing memory using a lineup. We conducted a systematic review showing that pre-event instructions, instructions given before event …

Contextual positivity-familiarity effects are unaffected by known moderators of misattribution Open
The positivity-familiarity effect refers to the phenomenon that positive affect increases the likelihood that people judge a stimulus as familiar. Drawing on the assumption that positivity-familiarity effects result from a common misattrib…

When Does Contextual Positivity Influence Judgments of Familiarity? Investigating Moderators of the Positivity-Familiarity Effect Open
The positivity-familiarity effect suggests that people use positive affect as a cue to answer the question of whether they have encountered a stimulus before. Five experiments investigated this effect under various conditions. Positivity-f…

Gender is not simply a matter of black and white, or is it? Open
Based on research in physical anthropology, we argue that brightness marks the abstract category of gender, with light colours marking the female gender and dark colours marking the male gender. In a set of three experiments, we examine th…

The cultural stereotype of professional groups: Consensus, accessibility and typicality of stereotypic contents Open
The purpose of the present work was to measure the stereotypic content of several professional groups in a Portuguese sample, by determining the culturally shared stereotypic attributes, their accessibility and typicality.Study 1 used a sp…

At the Boundaries of Misattribution Open
Priming effects in the Affect Misattribution Procedure (AMP) have been explained by a misattribution of prime-related affect to neutral targets. However, the measure has been criticized for being susceptible to intentional use of prime-fea…

Something in the Way You Primed Me: Belief Monitoring When Source Identification Is Not Possible Open
It has been shown that subtle contextual primes produce transient changes in stereotypes (Santos et al., 2012), an effect supposedly caused by both activation of the primed trait and failure of belief monitoring. The present research inves…

Bubble dynamics and heat transfer for pool boiling on hydrophilic, superhydrophobic and biphilic surfaces Open
This paper proposes a detailed analysis of bubble dynamics to describe pool boiling heat transfer in extreme wetting scenarios (superhydrophobic vs hydrophilic). A mechanistic approach, based on extensive post-processing allows quantifying…
