U.S. President Joe Biden ended his reelection campaign on Sunday after fellow Democrats lost faith in his mental acuity and ability to beat Donald Trump. He announced his decision in a letter posted on social media. Then, in a subsequent message he posted soon after, Mr. Biden endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris to be their party's candidate. Here is the letter's full text.

TITLE: Most voters overestimated the emotional impact of 2020 presidential results, with a key exception

URL: https://www.psypost.org/most-voters-overestimated-the-emotional-impact-of-2020-presidential-results-with-a-key-exception/

People generally overestimated how intensely they would feel in the wake of the 2020 U.S. presidential election, according to new research published in the journal Cognition and Emotion. However, Donald Trump supporters with particularly strong negative beliefs about Joe Biden experienced more intense emotions than they had anticipated.

The United States has experienced growing hostility and polarization around political elections over the past decade. Researchers have noted that many voters perceive the election of the opposing candidate as a direct threat to themselves and the groups they care about.

In the 2020 U.S. presidential election, for instance, nearly 90% of both Trump and Biden supporters believed that the other candidate’s election would cause lasting harm to society. The new study aimed to understand the relationship between voters’ beliefs about the candidates and their anticipated and actual emotional responses to the election outcomes.

“We became interested in presidential elections in the United States because of the increasing amount of emotion expressed by voters around the outcome of these elections,” said study author Heather C. Lench, a professor of psychological and brain sciences at Texas A& M University. “The news is filled with people who are angry, proud, sad, overjoyed, and afraid at election outcomes. We know emotions have a powerful influence on how people think and behave, and we were curious at what the effects might be with elections and voting.”

The researchers recruited undergraduate students from two large universities in California and Texas to participate in the study. The final sample comprised 477 participants, with 396 identifying as Biden supporters and 84 as Trump supporters.

The study utilized a longitudinal design with two online surveys: one conducted before the election and the other shortly after the election results were announced. The first survey, administered between 12 days to one day before the election, asked participants to forecast how frequently they would feel happiness, anger, and fear if either Trump or Biden won. These emotional forecasts were rated on a nine-point scale ranging from “not at all” to “constantly.” Participants also rated the extent to which they believed each candidate would either save or destroy American society on a seven-point scale.

The second survey was conducted four days after the election results were announced. Participants were asked to report how frequently they felt happiness, anger, and fear about the election outcome on that particular day, again using a nine-point scale. Additionally, they indicated how often they thought about the election result. The researchers used these responses to compare the forecasted emotions with the actual experienced emotions.

One of the primary findings was that stronger beliefs about the candidates were associated with more intense forecasts of emotion following the election. Participants who believed their preferred candidate would save society predicted higher levels of happiness if their candidate won, while those who believed the opposing candidate would destroy society forecasted greater anger and fear if that candidate won.

Voting behavior was also influenced by these emotional forecasts. The researchers found that Biden supporters were more likely to vote than Trump supporters, a difference largely accounted for by their predictions of lower happiness and higher anger if Trump won the election. This suggests that negative emotions, particularly anger, played a significant role in motivating voter turnout. This aligns with previous research indicating that anger can be a powerful motivator of political action.

“The findings showed that people were motivated to vote when they had strong views of the political candidate of their opposition party,” Lench told PsyPost. “We don’t know yet if this is unique to the particular candidates. People should be aware of how political campaigns that use emotional tactics to portray the ‘other’ candidate could affect them.”

After the election, the researchers found a general tendency among participants to overestimate the intensity of their emotional responses. This overestimation was especially pronounced among Trump supporters, who felt less anger than they had anticipated following Biden’s victory.

However, for participants with stronger beliefs about the candidates, the pattern changed. Those with strong beliefs that Biden would save or Trump would destroy society thought more frequently about the election outcome and experienced even more intense emotions than they had forecasted. This suggests that strong beliefs can amplify the emotional impact of political events, making the actual emotional experience more intense than anticipated.

“We were initially surprised that supporters of Donald Trump were less angry after the election than they thought they would be, given the media attention to protests and expressed anger afterward,” Lench explained. “This made us look deeper into the findings, and this pattern was different for people who held strong beliefs about the candidates. Those with strong beliefs were even angrier than they thought they would be after the election.”

But the study, like all research, has limitations to consider. First, the sample consisted of college students, who may have different political and social concerns compared to the general population. Additionally, the study’s focus on a single political event during a period of heightened polarization also limits the generalizability of the findings. Future research should explore similar relationships in different contexts and time periods to better understand the dynamics between beliefs, emotions, and voting behavior.

“This was a single election with a particular context, and it also used self-reported emotions,” Lench noted. “It is possible the findings are unique to this specific election or the specific candidates. It’s also possible that people misreport or misremember their emotions. We’re excited to see what happens in the next election, as the candidates of the two major parties will be the same as in past election cycles.”

The study, “Voter emotional responses and voting behaviour in the 2020 US presidential election,” was authored by Heather C. Lench, Leslie Fernandez, Noah Reed, Emily Raibley, Linda J. Levine, and Kiki Salsedo.

Please pay attention to sample size and demographics on this and other studies.

Sample size: 486. Ok, enough for possible statistical significance.

Only 80-some Trump supporters. Is that enough people to draw conclusions?

Then -- if I'm reading this right -- ALL students. I believe from one Texas university.

Can you generalize conclusions to the entire population? Or just students (mostly young adults)? Or, just Texas?

@Hunterrules -- No the headline certainly will not. Don't shoot the messenger.

At least in the article they go into not misgendering, avoiding microaggressions, and the like as strategies to help.

@hunterrules -- In fairness you did not shoot the messenger.

microaggressions: "A comment or action that subtly and often unconsciously or unintentionally expresses a prejudiced attitude toward a member of a marginalized group, such as a racial minority."

For example, let's say I'm White and in a conversion. I say something about another racial group and refer to them as "those people". Well, I did not use a racial slur, but I did subtlety other them in a way considered mildly derogatory in the USA. Does that help?

TITLE:
New findings shed light on why women orgasm more often with female partners
.
URL:
https://www.psypost.org/new-findings-shed-light-on-why-women-orgasm-more-often-with-female-partners/

<p>A recent study published in <a href="https://doi.org/10.1177/19485506241235235"><em>Social Psychological and Personality Science</em></a> sheds light on the orgasm rates of women and how these differ by sexual orientation, revealing that women experience higher rates of orgasm when partnered with another woman compared to when with a man. The research highlights the influence of sexual scripts — socially learned ways of responding in sexual situations — which differ significantly based on the gender of one&#8217;s partner.</p>
<p>Prior research consistently shows a significant disparity in orgasm rates between men and women, particularly in heterosexual relationships. This phenomenon, termed the &#8220;orgasm gap,&#8221; sees 95% of men typically reaching orgasm during partnered sexual encounters compared to only 65% of women.</p>
<p>However, this gap narrows considerably in lesbian relationships, where approximately 86% of lesbian women report regularly achieving orgasm. The researchers aimed to explore this disparity by examining expectations and sexual practices in encounters involving women partnered with other women versus those partnered with men.</p>
<p>&#8220;The orgasm gap as a cultural phenomenon has become a hot topic in recent years. We wanted to investigate why women who have sex with men tend to have less orgasms than women who have sex with women. This research helps us to understand why women tend to face worse sexual outcomes when having sex with men,&#8221; said study author <a href="https://www.gracewetzel.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Grace Wetzel</a>, a PhD candidate in social psychology at Rutgers University.</p>
<p>The researchers recruited a diverse sample of 476 women who identified as either heterosexual (59.5%) or lesbian (40.5%). Participants were sourced from two online recruitment platforms, ResearchMatch and Prolific. Participants eligible for the study were required to be at least 18 years old and to have been sexually active within the past year.</p>
<p>The integrity of responses was ensured through attention checks, resulting in the exclusion of 27 participants who failed these checks. The remaining participants completed a series of questionnaires designed to gather detailed information about their sexual behaviors and experiences with their current or most recent sexual partner.</p>
<p>The researchers found no significant differences in the importance placed on orgasm between the two groups, indicating that both heterosexual and lesbian women equally valued orgasm as part of their sexual satisfaction. However, the actual experiences and outcomes differed markedly.</p>
<p>Lesbian women reported higher levels of clitoral stimulation during sexual encounters compared to their heterosexual counterparts. This increase in clitoral stimulation was closely linked to higher expectations for achieving orgasm, as well as more active pursuit of orgasm goals (e.g., &#8220;In my sexual encounters, I try to have an orgasm&#8221;). These factors contributed to a higher frequency of orgasms reported by lesbian women.</p>
<p>The relationship between sexual orientation and orgasm goal pursuit was statistically mediated by the levels of clitoral stimulation and orgasm expectations. This means that the differences in orgasm frequency between heterosexual and lesbian women could largely be attributed to the variations in how much they expected to be stimulated and their proactive efforts to achieve orgasm.</p>
<p>Next, the researchers sought to understand how hypothetical scenarios involving partners of different genders might affect women&#8217;s expectations for orgasm and their pursuit of orgasm goals. To achieve this, they conducted an experimental study involving 481 cisgender bisexual women recruited from Prolific.</p>
<p>Each participant was randomly assigned to one of two conditions in a vignette-based method. The vignettes described a romantic dinner with a partner, followed by a transition to a bedroom setting where sexual activity was anticipated. The key difference between the vignettes was the gender of the partner — participants imagined the scenario with either a male or a female partner.</p>
<p>The researchers found that women who were presented with a female partner in the vignettes reported significantly higher expectations for clitoral stimulation and achieving orgasm compared to those imagining a male partner. This suggests that the gender of a sexual partner influences women&#8217;s anticipations about sexual activities and outcomes.</p>
<p>&#8220;We find that sexual scripts, or our pre-existing expectations for how a sexual encounter will typically go, play an important role in orgasm differences when women have sex with other women versus men,&#8221; Wetzel told PsyPost. &#8220;When women have sex with other women, they expect more clitoral stimulation, expect orgasm, and pursue their own orgasm more as a result. These are all potential mechanisms that can explain the orgasm differences we see between lesbian and heterosexual women.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;In other words, women experience and expect more clitoral stimulation when they have sex with other women than when they have sex with men, which helps to explain the orgasm gap between these two groups of women.&#8221;</p>
<p>Lead author Kate Dickman, who recently graduated from Rutgers University, highlighted the practical implications: &#8220;If women, or men partnered with women, want to increase their own or their partners&#8217; orgasm, they should create an environment that encourages orgasm pursuit through diverse sex acts, particularly those involving clitoral stimulation.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;These results could be interpreted to mean that sex with men is inherently worse or that men are &#8216;bad lovers,&#8217; but that is not necessarily true,&#8221; Wetzel added. &#8220;The problem here is the dominant sexual script associated with heterosexual sex, which does not include sufficient clitoral stimulation or sufficient focus on women’s pleasure. Heterosexual couples can create their own sexual scripts that work for the people involved. Couples can include more clitoral stimulation in their sexual encounters to create sexual relationships that are fulfilling for all partners.&#8221;</p>
<p>She also emphasized that &#8220;these results should not be misinterpreted to reflect one universal experience for lesbian, heterosexual, or bisexual women.&#8221;</p>
<p>The findings offer important insights into the sexual experiences of women across different sexual orientations. But as with all research, there are some limitations to consider. One limitation is the correlational nature of the first study. While the researchers were able to identify associations between sexual orientation, clitoral stimulation, orgasm expectations, and orgasm pursuit, they cannot definitively claim causality from these relationships.</p>
<p>This limitation was addressed with the second study, which employed an experimental methodology. However, although this method allows for the manipulation of partner gender to observe potential changes in orgasm expectations and pursuit, the hypothetical scenario might not fully capture the complexities and dynamics of actual sexual interactions. Participants&#8217; responses might reflect their theoretical preferences or beliefs rather than their real behaviors in a sexual encounter.</p>
<p>&#8220;While this study focuses on orgasm as an important sexual outcome and a useful marker of inequity, it is important to note that this is not the only sexual outcome that matters for couples and does not mean that orgasm is necessary for &#8216;good sex,'&#8221; Wetzel noted. &#8220;In pursuing a partner’s orgasm, it’s essential to never put pressure on a partner to orgasm, as this coercion can make orgasm less likely, less pleasurable, and can lead to negative relationship outcomes.&#8221;</p>
<p>The study, &#8220;<a href="https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/19485506241235235" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The Role of Partner Gender: How Sexual Expectations Shape the Pursuit of an Orgasm Goal for Heterosexual, Lesbian, and Bisexual Women</a>,&#8221; was authored by Kate Dickman, Grace M. Wetzel, and Diana T. Sanchez.</p>

TITLE:
Study: “Woke” attitudes linked to anxiety, depression, and a lack of happiness
.
URL:
https://www.psypost.org/study-woke-attitudes-linked-to-anxiety-depression-and-a-lack-of-happiness/

<p>A new psychological assessment has been developed to measure the endorsement of attitudes related to critical social justice. Findings from its application in a Finnish study reveal that stronger alignment with these so-called &#8220;woke&#8221; beliefs correlates with heightened instances of anxiety and depression, as detailed in a publication in the <a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/sjop.13018"><em>Scandinavian Journal of Psychology</em></a>.</p>
<p>The rise of critical social justice, which focuses on identifying and addressing systemic inequalities across various identity groups, has prompted discussions on its influence in academia, politics, and everyday life. This particular orientation towards social justice — often associated with concepts like intersectionality, antiracism, and, colloquially, &#8220;wokeness&#8221; — has been both lauded for its recognition of systemic barriers faced by marginalized groups and critiqued for its approach to identity and free speech.</p>
<p>Yet, despite the debate surrounding critical social justice, there has been a noticeable gap in empirical data regarding the extent and impact of it. Recognizing this, the author of the new study aimed to create a reliable tool for assessing critical social justice and to explore its prevalence and effects.</p>
<p>&#8220;I had been paying attention to a development in American universities, where a new discourse on social justice became prevalent in the 2010s,&#8221; said study author <a href="https://oskarilahtinen.fi/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Oskari Lahtinen</a>, a senior researcher at the INVEST Research Flagship Centre at the University of Turku and author of the book <em><a href="https://www.suomalainen.com/products/mindfulnessin-lapivalaisu" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Onko mindfulnessista mihinkään?</a></em>.</p>
<p>&#8220;While critical social justice (or intersectional or &#8216;woke&#8217;) discourse draws mainly from dynamics within American society it has now surfaced in other Western countries as well. The arrival of a critical social justice (often called &#8216;woke&#8217;) discourse sparked much debate in Finnish media in the last couple of years.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;This debate was largely data-free and it could thus be considered a worthwhile question to study how prevalent these attitudes are. No reliable and valid instrument existed prior to the study to assess the extent and prevalence of these attitudes in different populations, so I set out to develop one.&#8221;</p>
<p>The initial phase of the research was dedicated to creating a pilot scale for assessing critical social justice attitudes. This process began with a thorough review of the literature on intersectional feminism, critical race theory, queer theory, and other relevant academic disciplines that inform critical social justice. Based on these theoretical frameworks, Lahtinen drafted candidate items for the scale related to beliefs about systemic oppression.</p>
<p>The pilot scale was then tested with a sample of 851 participants, comprising university staff and students primarily from the University of Turku, along with a smaller number of participants from other Finnish universities and the general public.</p>
<p>Following the pilot study, Lahtinen conducted a second study focusing on refining the scale based on the initial findings and validating it with a larger, more representative sample. This phase involved drafting additional items to better capture the ideas that embody critical social justice.</p>
<p>The refined scale was then administered to over 5,000 participants through a nationwide survey distributed via Helsingin Sanomat, Finland&#8217;s largest newspaper. This approach aimed to reach a broad cross-section of the Finnish population, enhancing the generalizability of the findings.</p>
<p>The final version of the Critical Social Justice Attitude Scale demonstrated high reliability and a good model fit. This means that the scale was dependable across different samples and contexts, and effectively captured the underlying construct of critical social justice attitudes. The scale also demonstrated good convergent and divergent validity, suggesting it is an effective tool for measuring critical social justice attitudes.</p>
<p>Final scale consisted of seven items:</p>
<ul>
<li>&#8220;If white people have on average a higher level of income than black people, it is because of racism.&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;University reading lists should include fewer white or European authors.&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;Microaggressions should be challenged often and actively.&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;Trans* women who compete with women in sports are not helping women&#8217;s rights.&#8221;<em> (reverse scored)</em></li>
<li>&#8220;We don&#8217;t need to talk more about the color of people&#8217;s skin.&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;A white person cannot understand how a black person feels equally well as another black person.&#8221;</li>
<li>&#8220;A member of a privileged group can adopt features or cultural elements of a less privileged group.&#8221;<em> (reverse scored)</em></li>
</ul>
<p>One of the central revelations of the study was that critical social justice attitudes are not as widespread in Finland as might be inferred from public and media discussions. Overall, the findings suggested a cautious reception towards critical social justice among the general population. This observation was particularly pronounced among male participants, who showed considerably lower agreement with the statements compared to their female counterparts.</p>
<p>&#8220;The gender divide was probably most surprising to me,&#8221; Lahtinen told PsyPost. &#8220;Three out of five women view &#8216;woke&#8217; ideas positively, but only one out of seven men. This was the case in Finland, at least.&#8221;</p>
<p>The study also uncovered variations in critical social justice attitudes across different demographic and social groups. Higher levels of agreement with critical social justice were notably present among individuals who identified with left-wing political parties and female university students in fields such as social sciences, education, and humanities. On the other hand, individuals associated with STEM fields and right-wing political affiliations tended to show lower agreement with critical social justice principles.</p>
<p>An intriguing aspect of the study was its exploration of the relationship between critical social justice and mental well-being. Lahtinen found a correlation between higher agreement with critical social justice attitudes and increased reports of anxiety and depression. Agreement with the statement &#8220;If white people have on average a higher income than black people, it is because of racism&#8221; exhibited the largest positive correlation with anxiety and depression, and the largest negative correlation with happiness.</p>
<p>However, these associations were more strongly correlated with participants&#8217; political orientation than with critical social justice attitudes <em>per se</em>. Specifically, being on the political left was more predictive of lower mental well-being than high critical social justice scores alone. This suggests that the link between critical social justice attitudes and mental health is complex and may be mediated by broader political and ideological beliefs.</p>
<p>The new research provides unique insight into critical social justice attitudes and their implications in contemporary society. But the study&#8217;s focus on Finland necessitates caution when generalizing its findings to other contexts.</p>
<p>&#8220;The studies were quite robust with a sample size above 5,000 and good psychometric properties,&#8221; Lahtinen said. &#8220;However, the scale would need to be validated in North American samples in order to know how these attitudes manifest there. I encourage colleagues in the United States to study the prevalence of these attitudes in the country where they originate from.&#8221;</p>
<p>The study, &#8220;<a href="https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/sjop.13018">Construction and validation of a scale for assessing critical social justice attitudes</a>,&#8221; was published March 14, 2024.</p>

Not a criticism of the study -- perhaps the problem is the racism, inequality, sexism, and cluelessness of some segments of society; as opposed to political position and attitudes on social justice? In other words -- the root of the problems need addressing rather than merely observing that the label leads to depression and anxiety.

Not surprised that knowledge of the horrors of the world lead to more upset about them. Is there a correlation between social justice beliefs and being in a more impressed group?

I look forward to the study being done in the USA.

TITLE:
Men less upset by infidelity with women, viewing them as potential opportunities
.

https://www.psypost.org/men-less-upset-by-infidelity-with-women-viewing-them-as-potential-opportunities/

<p>According to new research published in <a href="https://doi.org/10.1111/pere.12540"><em>Personal Relationships</em></a>, heterosexual men experience less distress from infidelity involving female interlopers than from male ones, potentially perceiving these women as additional sexual opportunities, especially when they exhibit feminine traits.</p>
<p>“The topic started out as a discussion with one of my undergrads back in grad school about how sex role presentation may influence reactions to infidelity seen in various papers covering same-sex infidelity,” said study author <a href="https://spherelabar.weebly.com">Mitch Brown</a>, PhD (<a href="https://twitter.com/ExtravertedFace">@ExtravertedFace</a>), an instructor of psychological science at the University of Arkansas.</p>
<p>“My student and I were considering the fact that such reactions could have multiple causes that would manifest in different ways. Namely, does the reduced risk of cuckoldry from a female interloper in a man’s relationship coincide with perceptions of the interloper as an additional sexual opportunity? If so, when does that actually happen? This turned into an exercise in determining whether these predictions were competing or complementary hypotheses.”</p>
<p>Study 1 investigated how the sex role presentation (masculine or feminine) of a female extradyadic partner affects heterosexual men’s reactions to same-sex infidelity. The study was conducted with 156 men from a large public university in the Southeastern U.S. Participants were randomly assigned to read one of three vignettes describing a scenario where they discover their long-term girlfriend in an intimate situation with either another man, a masculine woman, or a feminine woman.</p>
<p>Participants completed measures assessing negative reactions to the infidelity scenario, the perceived sexual opportunity of the extradyadic partner, sexual arousal from the scenario, and the perceived sexual orientation of the extradyadic partner, using a 7-point scale.</p>
<p>Heterosexual men exhibit the most negative reactions to infidelity involving another man, with significantly less distress towards female interlopers, regardless of their masculine or feminine presentation. However, a feminine woman was perceived as offering the greatest sexual opportunity and elicited higher sexual arousal. These findings suggest that factors such as perceived sexual opportunity significantly influence distress levels.</p>
<p>Study 2 aimed to enhance the ecological validity of Study 1’s findings by incorporating visual cues into the experimental design, given that physical attractiveness and secondary sex characteristics can significantly influence perceptions of sexual receptivity and arousal. A total of 138 heterosexual men from a large public university in the Southeastern U.S. were included.</p>
<p>This study replicated the original scenario of discovering infidelity but introduced stock photos of the hypothetical girlfriend and the extradyadic partners to test the impact of visual presentation on men’s reactions. Participants were exposed to images of either another man, a masculine-presenting woman, or a feminine-presenting woman alongside the narrative. Similar to Study 1, participants completed measures for negative reactions, arousal, perceived sexual opportunities, and perceptions of sexual orientation.</p>
<p>Study 2’s results echoed those of Study 1, showing that heterosexual men reacted most negatively to infidelity involving another man, with significantly less distress for a feminine woman, who was perceived as offering the most sexual opportunity.</p>
<p>“The fitness costs imposed by an interloper in one’s relationship are different based on whether the interloper is a man or woman. Men’s threat is that of cuckoldry, which is not imposed by women,” explained Brown.</p>
<p>“We found that men are most distressed by male interlopers in cases of infidelity. However, the possibility exists that a female interloper could minimize contact with the partner, which could be more common among more masculine-presenting lesbian women. This would make feminine-presenting women the least threatening to the relationship, partly because men could perceive her as more likely to report interest in men in her own right (i.e., bisexuality) that may not be inferred from a masculine-presenting woman. Thus, feminine-presenting women elicited the most sexual arousal from men and were viewed as a sexual opportunity more readily.”</p>
<p>No significant difference was found between the masculine-presenting woman and the man in perceptions of sexual opportunity or arousal.</p>
<p>In terms of perceived sexual orientation, participants rated the masculine-presenting women as the least heterosexual (primarily homosexual), the feminine woman as bisexual, and the man as primarily heterosexual, with all differences being statistically significant.</p>
<p>I asked Brown if there are any caveats. The researcher said, “Results for this study are based on two specific main effects that may not address the considerable nuance that is likely in these findings. For example, it could be possible that an unrestricted sociosexuality may be associated with greater tolerance toward extradyadic sex. This could similarly emerge for individuals involved in consensual nonmonogamy.”</p>
<p>What are possible future directions for this line of research? Brown responded, “Perceptions of the sexual interest of the interloper in these studies were based on stereotypes. It could be possible that these inferences could be magnified with stimuli that exhibit a kernel of truth. That is, perceivers have a degree of accuracy in identifying sexual orientation based on physical appearance. Future research would benefit from providing normed stimuli for which information exists of their actual sexual orientation.”</p>
<p>The researcher added, “It is important to recognize that sexual orientation is a complex trait in humans for which multiple selection exists. Some research suggests that women’s homosexuality evolved partly because of the increased benefit of alloparenting, whereas other research suggests that the origin is partially based on men’s relative tolerance that is not afforded to gay men. Heterosexuality emerged under its own unique set of selection pressures. As we investigate topics related to these origins, it remains important to understand this complexity so as not to accuse others of reductionist theorizing.”</p>
<p>The paper, “<a href="https://doi.org/10.1111/pere.12540">Heterosexual men&#8217;s reactions to infidelity revisited: Comparing the sex role presentation of extradyadic female partners</a>”, was authored by Mitch Brown, Samuel E. Snowden, and Seth M. Bridges.</p>

And... Social biology might suggest that men are less threatened by woman/woman pairings in that the girlfriend is not going to get pregnant with another man's baby.

I do wish we could see more studies that don't just round-up a few male undergraduates. Maybe some older men with some life perspective?

Then, of course, a follow-up on likelihood that the girlfriends would really want the dude getting involved with their fling might be good...

TITLE:
Teens exposed to parental phubbing tend to have more sleep problems, study finds
.
URL:
https://www.psypost.org/2024/02/teens-exposed-to-parental-phubbing-tend-to-have-more-sleep-problems-study-finds-221355

<p>A study in China recently found that adolescents who experience parental phubbing—when parents ignore their children in favor of their smartphones—are more likely to suffer from sleep disturbances. The research, published in the journal <a href="https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/psychology/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2023.1094488/full"><em>Frontiers in Psychology</em></a>, sheds light on the growing concern over how parental phone usage can negatively impact children&#8217;s well-being.</p>
<p>When looking at parents with children in restaurants, parks, or at family gatherings, it has become increasingly common to see parents deeply focused on their phones instead of engaging with their children and bonding with them. In the recent decade, this type of behavior has been becoming ever more frequent and it can easily be observed in many settings that were traditionally considered an opportunity for parent-child interactions.</p>
<p>The term “phubbing“ combines &#8220;phone&#8221; with &#8220;snubbing,&#8221; highlighting the neglect of face-to-face interactions for the sake of interacting with a mobile phone. The phenomenon of phubbing has attracted a lot of research attention in recent years. Studies consistently link this behavior to various adverse consequences, such as worse subjective well-being of persons exposed to it, decreased self-esteem, and worse interpersonal relationships with the person doing the phubbing. While most often researched in the context of partner relationships, parental phubbing of their children has also started to receive notable research attention.</p>
<p>Study author Qian Ding and her colleagues wanted to investigate the relationship between parental phubbing, negative emotions, self-control, and sleep quality problems in adolescents. Their expectation was that parental phubbing might be causing negative emotions in adolescents. These negative emotions would, in turn, lead to sleep problems. They also hypothesized that adolescents’ self-control might be moderating this relationship.</p>
<p>The participants were 781 students from two junior high schools (grades 7-12) and two senior high schools in central China. Of these, 506 came from rural areas, while 275 were from urban areas. 366 students were female. 389 were from junior high schools. Participants were between 12 and 18 years of age.</p>
<p>Students completed assessments of parental phubbing (the Parental Phubbing Scale), negative emotions (the Ultra-brief Screening Scale for Depression and Anxiety revised), self-control (the Self-Control Questionnaire for Chinese children), and sleep quality problems (the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index scale).</p>
<p>The results showed that adolescents who reported higher levels of parental phubbing were more likely to experience negative emotions and sleep problems. Interestingly, parental phubbing was not linked to the adolescents&#8217; self-control.</p>
<p>The researchers also tested a statistical model to examine the potential pathway from parental phubbing to sleep quality issues through negative emotions, with self-control acting as a moderating factor. Results showed that such a state of relationships between the studied factors is indeed possible. Additionally, self-control was shown to moderate the relationship between parental phubbing and negative emotions. Parental phubbing more consistently led to negative emotions in children with lower self-control. This link was greatly diminished in children with better self-control.</p>
<p>&#8220;In summary, parental phubbing is an important factor that influences adolescent sleep quality problems,&#8221; the study authors concluded. &#8220;Negative emotions mediate the relationship between parental phubbing and adolescent sleep quality problems. And self-control moderated the effect of parental phubbing on adolescent negative emotions.&#8221;</p>
<p>&#8220;Specifically, the mediating effect of negative emotions was more significant for adolescents low in self-control relative to those high in self-control. Therefore, in order to help adolescents decrease sleep quality problems, we can reduce their parental phubbing, reduce their negative emotions, and maintain their moderate self-control.&#8221;</p><div class="addrop-wrap" data-id="64749"><p style="text-align: center;">

<p>The study contributes to the scientific understanding of the links between parental behavior and psychological characteristics of their children. However, it should be noted that the design of this study does not allow any cause-and-effect conclusions to be drawn from the data.</p>

This bot automatically pulls from the RSS feeds of the APA, Scientific American, the New York Times, NCSW social worker, and ACA Counseling Today. In addition it uses a few article aggregators -- socialpsychology and psypost.org . The post you are questioning came from psypost.org -- their articles are on the whole worthwhile, but occasionally more questionable than the other sources.

If you want only articles that have already been read and vetted by someone, see any of the sources above other than psypost.

TITLE:
Autistic job candidates receive better ratings when interviewers are aware of their diagnosis
.
URL:
https://www.psypost.org/2024/01/autistic-job-candidates-receive-better-ratings-when-interviewers-are-aware-of-their-diagnosis-220520

<p>A study in the United Kingdom examined how people rated the performance of a candidate in a mock employment interview. Those who were told that the candidate was diagnosed with autism gave the candidate higher ratings compared to those who did not have this information. The study was published in <a href="https://doi.org/10.1177/13623613231203739"><em>Autism</em></a>.</p>
<p>Autism, or autism spectrum disorder, is a developmental disorder that negatively affects social interaction, communication, and behavior. It presents a wide range of challenges among those affected. Symptoms of autism usually appear in early childhood. They include difficulties in understanding social cues, repetitive behaviors, and highly focused interests or activities.</p>
<p>The severity and combination of symptoms can vary greatly, with some individuals requiring significant support in their daily lives, while others are able to live independently. In addition to the challenges, individuals with autism may possess unique strengths, such as exceptional memory, detailed observation skills, and expertise in specific areas of interest.</p>
<p>However, due to the unique behavioral characteristics of autistic individuals, they often face significant challenges in securing meaningful employment. In the UK, individuals with autism represent the most underemployed disability group. Studies have shown that navigating interview questions is a key challenge for them. Autistic individuals typically struggle with grasping the implicit expectations of interviewers, and their atypical emotional expressions, eye contact, and gestures can contribute to negative first impressions formed by interviewers.</p>
<p>Study author Jade Eloise Norris and his colleagues wanted to examine whether ratings autistic individuals receive on job interviews might be affected by whether the person rating them is aware of their diagnosis. They conducted a study comparing the ratings given to individuals with autism in mock job interviews under three different conditions: when raters were unaware of the diagnosis, when they were informed of the diagnosis, and when they were both informed of the diagnosis and provided additional information about it.</p>
<p>The study involved three groups of participants. Each group watched videos of mock job interviews featuring a candidate with autism and assessed the candidate&#8217;s performance. In a previous study, 36 participants viewed the videos without knowing the interviewees&#8217; diagnoses. For the current study, the researchers recruited 98 raters: 48 knew about the autism diagnosis, and 50 were both informed of the diagnosis and received additional information about the disorder.</p>
<p>The results showed that raters who were aware of the interviewees’ autism diagnosis gave them higher ratings across all evaluated characteristics compared to those who were unaware. The presence of additional information about autism did not significantly alter the ratings. Raters informed of the interviewees&#8217; autism diagnosis perceived them as more confident, motivated, knowledgeable, conscientious, competent, intelligent, good communicators, likeable, and easier to work with compared to ratings from those unaware of the diagnosis.</p>
<p>&#8220;Results demonstrated that candidates were perceived more favorably when raters were provided with their diagnostic label prior to watching the video, compared to no label. Providing further information about the diagnosis did not additionally improve perceptions over and above provision of the label alone,&#8221; the study authors concluded.</p>
<p>The study sheds light on the factors of perception of autistic individuals’ traits in job interview settings. However, it also has limitations that need to be taken into account. Most notably, data on ratings when raters were not aware of the diagnosis came from a previous study, while ratings in situations when raters were aware of the diagnosis came from this one. It is possible that the observed difference in ratings is at least partly due to some unaccounted procedural difference between studies. Studies applying random assignment into rater groups might not produce equal results.</p>
<p>The paper, “<a href="https://doi.org/10.1177/13623613231203739">Disclosing an autism diagnosis improves ratings of candidate performance in employment interviews</a>”, was authored by Jade Eloise Norris, Rachel Prosser, Anna Remington, Laura Crane, and Katie Maras.</p><div class="addrop-wrap" data-id="64749"><p style="text-align: center;">
