TL;DR: The authors found that goal-related accessibility and post-fulfillment inhibition were proportional to the goal's expectancy, the goal value, and their interaction, and these effects are proportional to strength of the motivation.

TL;DR: This article found that women under stereotype threat performed better on an easy threat-irrelevant task, but worse on a difficult threat-relevant task than women not under threat, while threatened women underperformed on a math test, but this underperformance was attenuated for women directed to misattribute their arousal.

TL;DR: Paulus et al. as discussed by the authors assessed the extent to which idea exposure produced cognitive stimulation and social comparison effects in group brainstorming and found that exposure to a high number of ideas and to common ideas enhanced the generation of additional ideas.

TL;DR: This article examined the effect of living with white, Asian American, Latino, or African American roommates on affective, cognitive, and behavioral indicators of prejudice among university students and found that both randomly assigned and voluntary roommate contact decreased prejudice.

TL;DR: In this paper, the hypothesis was tested that whereas members of a low status group show a physiological threat response when evaluating a performance situation on the basis of the status quo, members of high status groups are more likely to evaluate a possible change of status quo.

TL;DR: The authors found that both mortality and uncertainty salience influence people's reactions to violations and bolstering of their cultural worldviews, yielding evidence for both terror and uncertainty management theories, suggesting that the former may be a more important antecedent of reactions to norms and values than the latter.

TL;DR: This article examined the effect of one socializing agent (parents) on children's or implicit racial prejudice and found greater correspondence between parents' prejudice and children's prejudice among children who were highly identified with their parents than less identified children.

TL;DR: In this paper, it is hypothesized that activating the mindset "think different" by priming creativity prevents stereotypes and associations in general from becoming automatically activated, which can be overcome intentionally and after an extensive training.

TL;DR: In this paper, mood influence the accuracy of eyewitness recollections, and people's susceptibility to misleading information in particular, based on affect-cognition theories and research on eyewitness memory, three experiments predicted and found that positive affect promoted and negative affect inhibited the incorporation of misleading information into eyewitness memories.

TL;DR: The authors found that high self-uncertainty individuals are more responsive to variations in procedural justice, because they use procedural information to infer their organizational acceptance, respect, or social standing.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors use surprise cued-recall and look at goal inferences when the road to goal achievement seems straightforward and when it seems blocked, and use on-line methodologies to examine whether these inferences are made at encoding.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed an approach for eliminating automatic bias by repeatedly exposing people to social stimuli where group membership is unrelated to stereotypicality (e.g., race) and showed that extensive practice with the program where race was unrelated to the presence or absence of a gun eliminated race biases.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated how self-control efforts to undertake an activity are affected by real or primed externally imposed controls, and found that greater short-term costs elicited more self control efforts when externally imposed control were absent and less selfcontrol efforts when external imposed controls were present.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined whether group-based emotions may also influence ingroup identification, and they found that identification increases with happiness towards the ingroup or anger towards the outgroup.

TL;DR: This article found that victims who received apologies later in a conflict would feel more satisfied with the resolution of the conflict, primarily because they would have more opportunity for self-expression and would feel better understood.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used priming techniques to modify commitment to and engagement in future helping behavior and found that these changes in initial commitment impacted volunteering behavior up to three months after initial exposure.

TL;DR: This article found evidence for balanced triads when participants first formed an attitude about one person, and then learned about this person's sentiments about another individual, and observed sentiments and evaluative information affected attitudes in an additive rather than interactive manner.

TL;DR: In this paper, Anderson, Benjamin, and Bartholow examined whether this "weapons priming effect" differs depending on the structure of an individual's knowledge about guns, and if so, whether that difference results in corresponding differences in aggressive behavior.

TL;DR: In this article, three studies examined the predictions that losses would be perceived as more intensely negative than non-gains, and that non-losses would be more positive than gains.

TL;DR: This paper examined the effect of training in associating non-stereotypic traits with men and women on hiring decisions and found that training by itself may not reduce the more controlled application of stereotypes.

TL;DR: This article examined an unexplored moderator, hypothesizing that canned laughter would influence listeners only if they believed the laughter came from fellow in-group members, and found that participants laughed and smiled more, laughed longer, and rated humorous material more favorably when they heard ingroup laughter rather than out-group laughter or no laughter at all.

TL;DR: This article explored the interaction of context and motivation to control prejudice reactions (MCPR) on automatic evaluative responses toward individuals of different races and found that even at the automatic level, people high in motivation to controlling prejudice can inhibit negative responses toward Blacks in contexts that have cues associated with prejudice.

TL;DR: This paper found evidence for in-group projection by adapting features of the superordinate category to those of the ingroup, the similarity to, and the out-group's deviation from, the prototype of superordinate categories, if not emphasized.

TL;DR: This paper found that racial stereotypes and bogus expectancies influence people's impressions of a target more strongly over e-mail than voice interactions, despite an experimental design that ensured that the word-for-word content was constant across the two mediums.

TL;DR: This article found that implicit self-esteem contains a large intuitive, experiential or affective component, and women are more strongly socialized to trust their feelings and intuitions than men.

TL;DR: In this article, three studies, using complementary priming methods, provide converging evidence for the prediction that the activation of justice promotes (rather than obstructs) forgiveness, suggesting that justice and human values are positively associated.

TL;DR: Payne et al. as discussed by the authors examined the processes underlying this bias and found that people are biased to misidentify harmless objects as weapons when the objects are associated with African Americans.

TL;DR: This paper found that participants gave weight to the number of solutions found when making self-evaluations, but not to solutions missed, when given explicit information about these errors of omission, participants gave them just as much weight as they did solutions found, and thus provided more accurate selfevaluations.

TL;DR: The authors found that participants' automatic evaluations of subliminally presented objects influenced how they interpreted subsequent, unrelated objects, even when the only shared dimension between the initially evaluated objects and the judged objects is an evaluative one.

TL;DR: This paper used implicit goal priming to influence self-reports and found that participants who were exposed to honesty-related words admitted to having engaged in more of these behaviors than did participants exposed to neutral words.
