Psychological disorder diagnosis is no cure for trait inferences bias
Jacinto, Sofia; Braga, João Niza; Ferreira, Marina Silva; Collins, Elizabeth C.; Krendl, Anne C.; Lewis, Cara C.According to the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, 5th edition, maladaptive behavior stemming from a psychological disorder should not be attributed to personality.

Although people adjust dispositional inferences given contextual alterna...

The impact of task decomposability in hypothesis testing within the psychothera...
Jacinto, Sofia; Ferreira, Marina; Braga, João Niza; Collins, ElizabethIn a psychotherapy session it is very difficult to decompose the flux of information in its parts, which favors holistic intuitive judgments (Hammond et al., 1987), and constrains the interpretation of subsequent information according to the initially activated scheme (Eyal et al., 2011). Thus, we hypothesize the clinical session leads to confirmatory hypothesis testing and favors primacy effects (Jacinto et al...
What's next? Disentangling availability from representativeness using binary de...
Braga, João; Ferreira, Mário B.; Sherman, Steven J.; Mata, André; Jacinto, Sofia; Ferreira, MarinaPeople's intuitive predictions under uncertainty may rely on the representativeness or on the availability heuristics (Tversky & Kahneman, 1974). However, the distinction between these two heuristics has never been clear, and both have been proposed to underlie the same judgment tasks. For instance, when judging what outcome is likely to be next in a coin flip after a streak, representativeness leads to predict...
How Your Power Affects My Impression of You
Orghian, Diana; de Almeida, Filipa; Jacinto, Sofia; Garcia-Marques, Leonel; Correia dos Santos, Ana SofiaIn the present article, we investigate how a person’s power affects the way we infer traits from their behavior. In Experiment 1, our results suggest that, when faced with behavioral descriptions about others, participants infer both positive and negative traits about powerless actors, whereas for powerful and control (power irrelevant) actors, only positive but no negative traits are inferred, an effect we cal...
