Financial scarcity and cognitive performance: a meta-analysis

Whereas several studies find that financial scarcity has a detrimental impact on cognitive functioning, some studies find no relationship and others even report beneficial effects. To shed light on this issue we conducted a meta-analysis on the relationship between financial scarcity and cognitive functioning. We went beyond testing the direct relationship between these two concepts and looked at potential mode...

Anchoring in a Social Context: How the Possibility of Being Misinformed by Othe...

Building on research about naïve theories of biases, we propose that people are more likely to engage in critical thinking when assessing others’ reasoning. Hence, anchoring effects should be reduced when anchor values are presented as others’ estimates and people perceive others as less knowledgeable (i.e., more prone to biases) than themselves. Three experiments tested this hypothesis by presenting the same a...

When Cognitive Reflection Leads to Less Overall but More Systematic Judgment Bi...

Although widely used in the judgment under uncertainty literature, the so-called Lawyer– Engineer problem does not have a Bayesian solution because the base rates typically oppose qualitative stereotypical information, which has an undefined diagnostic value. We propose an experimental paradigm that elicits participants’ subjective estimates of the diagnosticity of stereotypical information and allows us to inv...

When Type 2 Processing Misfires: The Indiscriminate Use of Statistical Thinking...

Research on dual-process theories of judgment makes abundant use of reasoning problems that present a conflict between Type 1 intuitive responses and Type 2 rule-based responses. However, in many of these reasoning tasks, there is no way to discriminate between the adequate and inadequate use of rules based on logical or probabilistic principles. To experimentally discriminate between the two, we developed a ne...

Using mindsets to boost health: how construal level and goal pursuit shape heal...

Purpose – This research examines how construal level shapes the effectiveness of rational (vs emotional) messages for inducing cessation behaviors. Concrete mindsets foster self-improvement goals, whereas abstract mindsets boost self-relevance goals. Design/methodology/approach – In four studies, this research examines the moderating role of construal level on health messages and the underlying mechanism of goa...

Green pride in sustainable versus premium brand decisions

Purpose – Earlier research indicates that brand choices may display different identity signals, such as altruism and benevolence for green brands or high status and exclusiveness for premium brands. This research adds to the literature by exploring how opting for green (vs premium) brands leads consumers to feel authentic (vs hubristic) pride. Design/methodology/approach – Three experimental studies were conduc...
