Our review is organized around a recent framework of demand effects proposed by P. Lush and I, which identifies three stages in the production of demand artifacts: hypothesis formation, motivation, and control strategy. doi.org/10.1177/1088...

Thrilled to share this new preprint, co-authored with @peterlush.bsky.social and Chloé Fournier Bernard! We offer a broad and structured discussion of leading methods developed in the past >60 years to tackle demand artifacts in psychological research and beyond. doi.org/10.31234/osf...

In this new research, we found that truth beliefs can be successfully conditioned: Statements - true and false - are rated as more true after their pairing with positive than negative pictures. This effect bridges research on evaluative conditioning and misinformation. osf.io/preprints/ps...

In this research, we found that individuating information dominates social group information when forming impressions about members of newly learned social groups. This dominance was observed both on self-reports *and* more automatic measures *despite* conditions favoring group-level impressions.

🚨 New paper alert, at @jexpsocpsych.bsky.social: Classic person perception models argue that group information (e.g., group valence) dominates impression formation, especially in less-than-optimal conditions. But is this really the case? 👉 Read the full paper authors.elsevier.com/a/1m66p51f8w...

Demand Characteristics "Demand artifacts need not be seen only as a vexing problem. Precisely because they are so conceptually and methodologically challenging, they represent an opportunity for methodological and theoretical development." #SocialPsyc
