Configural Processing And Social Judgments: Face Inversion Particularly Disrupts Inferences Of Human-Relevant Traits, John Paul Wilson, Steven G. Young, Nicholas O. Rule, Kurt Hugenberg Jan 2018

Configural Processing And Social Judgments: Face Inversion Particularly Disrupts Inferences Of Human-Relevant Traits, John Paul Wilson, Steven G. Young, Nicholas O. Rule, Kurt Hugenberg

Perceivers tend to strongly agree about the basic trait information that they encode from faces. Although some research has found significant consistency for social inferences from faces viewed at multiple angles, disrupting configural processing can substantially alter the traits attributed to faces. Here, we reconciled these findings by examining how disruptions to configural processing (via face inversion) selectively impairs trait inferences from faces. Across four studies (including a pre-registered replication), we found that inverting faces disrupted inferences about particularly human-relevant traits (trustworthiness and humanness) more than it did for a trait relevant to both human and non-human animals (dominance). These …


Disentangling How Coworkers And Supervisors Influence Employee Cyberloafing: What Normative Information Are Employees Attending To?, Kevin Askew, Alexandra Ilie, Jeremy A. Bauer, Daniel Simonet, John E. Buckner, Thomas A. Robertson Jan 2018

Disentangling How Coworkers And Supervisors Influence Employee Cyberloafing: What Normative Information Are Employees Attending To?, Kevin Askew, Alexandra Ilie, Jeremy A. Bauer, Daniel Simonet, John E. Buckner, Thomas A. Robertson

Cyberloafing—the use of an electronic device at work for an activity that an immediate supervisor would not consider work-related—is now the most common way that employees waste time at work. It is well established that social norms play a role in cyberloafing, but it is unknown what specific normative information employees attend to when deciding whether or not to cyberloaf. In Study 1, we tested which of four types of normative information could underlie the observed correlation between social norms and cyberloafing. We found that both perceptions of supervisor cyberloafing and perceptions of coworker cyberloafing accounted for unique variance in …


The Psycholegal Factors For Juvenile Transfer And Reverse Transfer Evaluations, Christopher King Jan 2018

The Psycholegal Factors For Juvenile Transfer And Reverse Transfer Evaluations, Christopher King

Department of Psychology Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works

It remains unclear whether forensic mental health assessments for juvenile reverse transfer (to juvenile court) are distinct from those for juvenile transfer (to adult court). This survey consisted of an updated review of transfer and reverse transfer laws (in jurisdictions that have both mechanisms) in light of the generally accepted three-factor model of functional legal capacities involved in transfer evaluations (i.e., risk, sophistication–maturity, and treatment amenability). Results indicated that a majority of states' reverse transfer statutes refer explicitly or implicitly to the same three psycholegal constructs identified as central for transfer. Given the legal similarity between transfer and reverse transfer, …


The Relationship Between Masking And Short-Term Consolidation During Recall From Visual Working Memory, Timothy J. Ricker, Joshua Sandry Jan 2018

The Relationship Between Masking And Short-Term Consolidation During Recall From Visual Working Memory, Timothy J. Ricker, Joshua Sandry

Department of Psychology Faculty Scholarship and Creative Works

The presentation of a similar but irrelevant stimulus immediately following presentation of a memory item is called masking. Masking is known to reduce performance on working memory tests. This is the type of memory used to hold information in mind for brief periods of time for use in ongoing cognition. Two approaches to understanding masking effects have been proposed in different literatures. Working memory researchers often assume that the reduction in working memory performance after masking is because masking interferes with a transient sensory representation that is needed to complete consolidation into a working memory state. Researchers focused on the …
