A worldwide test of the predictive validity of ideal partner preference matching
Eastwick, P. W.; Sparks, J.; Finkel, E. J.; Meza, E. M.; Adamkovič, M.; Adu, P.; Ai, T.; Akintola, A. A.; Al-Shawaf, L.; Apriliawati, D.; Arriaga, P.Ideal partner preferences (i.e., ratings of the desirability of attributes like attractiveness or intelligence) are the source of numerous foundational findings in the interdisciplinary literature on human mating. Recently, research on the predictive validity of ideal partner preference matching (i.e., Do people positively evaluate partners who match vs. mismatch their ideals?) has become mired in several probl...
Multi-region investigation of ‘man’ as default in attitudes
Phills, C. E.; Miller, J. K.; Buchanan, E. M.; Williams, A.; Meyers, C.; Brown, E. R.; Zickfeld, J.; Volsa, S.; Stieger, S.; Oberzaucher, E.; Mlakic, V.Previous research has studied the extent to which men are the default members of social groups in terms of memory, categorization, and stereotyping, but not attitudes which is critical because of attitudes’ relationship to behavior. Results from our survey (N > 5000) collected via a globally distributed laboratory network in over 40 regions demonstrated that attitudes toward Black people and politicians had a s...

Hall, B.; Schmidt, K.; Wagge, J.; Lewis, S. C.; Weissgerber, S. C.; Kiunke, F.; Pfuhl, G.; Stieger, S.; Tran, U. S.; Barzykowski, K.; Bogatyreva, N.According to the justified true belief (JTB) account of knowledge, people can truly know something only if they have a belief that is both justified and true (i.e., knowledge is JTB).

Hajdu, N.; Schmidt, K.; Acs, G.; Röer, J. P.; Mirisola, A.; Giammusso, I.; Arriaga, P.; Ribeiro, R. R.; Dubrov, D.; Grigoryev, D.; Arinze, N. C.Voluntary isolation is one of the most effective methods for individuals to help prevent the transmission of diseases such as COVID-19. Understanding why people leave their homes when advised not to do so and identifying what contextual factors predict this non-compliant behavior is essential for policymakers and public health officials. To provide insight on these factors, we collected data from 42,169 individ...
Tears evoke the intention to offer social support: A systematic investigation o...
Zickfeld, J. H.; Van de Ven; N.; Pich, O.; Schubert, T. W.; Berkessel, J. B.; Pizarro, J.; Bhushan, B.; Mateo, N. J.; Barbosa, S.; Sharman, L.Tearful crying is a ubiquitous and likely uniquely human phenomenon. Scholars have argued that emotional tears serve an attachment function: Tears are thought to act as a social glue by evoking social support intentions. Initial experimental studies supported this proposition across several methodologies, but these were conducted almost exclusively on participants from North America and Europe, resulting in lim...
