Leaders often are faced with making difficult decisions for their group, such as when a course of action preferred by group members conflicts with one that is likely to optimize group outcomes. Across five studies, I provide evidence...
Social contagion concerns, which are defined as heterosexuals’ fears about being misidentified as gay/lesbian, can lead to avoidant and hostile responses toward gay men/lesbians. I argue that fear of becoming the target of sexual...
Throughout ancestral times, women faced significant adaptive challenges during pregnancy, and thus evolution may have selected for psychological mechanisms designed to help women prepare for birth and motherhood. Previous researchers...
A person’s physical position relative to others is a scarcely investigated, yet potentially very powerful, variable that regulates social perception. This research suggests that people strategically position themselves either higher or...
The relationship between school spending and academic performance is one that is constantly being assessed and evaluated. More rarely however, is the evaluation of how efficiently that spending is taking place. This paper used a method...
Despite increases in the numbers of children and adolescents seeking and receiving mental health treatment, rates of self-injurious thoughts and behaviors (SITBs) in youth continue to rise. In the hopes of aiding ongoing efforts to...
Achievement and behavioral problems in childhood have long-term consequences for better health and educational outcomes. Prenatal experiences have been linked with childhood outcomes, although there is some question as to the causative...

The Firing Dilemma: Sacrificial Managerial Decisions Entail a Tradeoff of Warmth and Competence, Paralleling Inferences from Sacrificial Moral Dilemmas
Managers often face choices where harming a few people benefits the business overall, e.g., downsizing under crisis. They report such decisions as very difficult even when efficient. Sacrificial managerial decisions (e.g., cutting a job...
The neurophysiological foundation and anatomical basis of circuits necessary for adult behaviors are established early in development. Numerous perinatal and postnatal variables affect circuit trajectory during developmental sensitive...
Dominance and prestige represent two fundamental strategies people use to navigate social hierarchies. Despite a growing literature on the psychology of dominance- and prestige-oriented leaders, less is known about how those strategies...
After the discontinuation of Polycose, the most commonly used maltodextrin in past taste research, investigators have had to rely on other sources. Two newer sources, marketed as replacements, are Maltrin M580 by Grain Processing Corp....
