As suggested by Navarrete et al. (2009), gender categorization might act as a heuristic cue for the potential for danger solely when the exemplars are male. Such an evolved cognitive mechanism occurs both in males and females. In fact, for all individuals (e.g., infants, females), the ri...
Facial recognition is an artificial intelligence-based technology that, like many other forms of artificial intelligence, suffers from an accuracy deficit.
Many consider moral decisions to follow an internal “moral compass”, resistant to social pressures. Here we examine how social influence shapes moral decisions under risk, and how it operates in different decision contexts. We employed an adapted Asian Disease Paradigm where participants chose betwee...
However, as one of the reviewers pointed out, there might be a third explanation, that is, that different types of inhibitory control were executed in the two conditions (Eagle et al., 2008). Specifically, it may be argued that action cancellation is required when go/no-go cues occur afte...

believe a conspiracy theory, as it might explain away negative events, failures or uncertainties they've experienced – essentially serving as a coping mechanism that provides reassurance for those who might feel they lack the 'control' they desire in their lives and, perhaps giving them a ...
However, in situations where actors exchange repeatedly and also receive information about their partners from third parties, situations might occur in which individual experience contradicts that of other actors (Buskens et al., 2018). For example, a buyer in a cryptomarket might have to choose ...
Results replicated the effects found in the testing phase of Experiment 1. Overall, the results indicated that reading instructions without further support are not sufficient to help students to accurately judge their comprehension and suggested that text characteristics might impact the effect of reading...
In a scientific context, a bias is generally understood as a difference between the observed and expected values in some property of a distribution [31]. For example, an estimator of the mean in a population is called biased if it departs systematically from the actual population mean (e.g....
