Mostly US participants. The person perception models are silent regarding cultural differences. Not sure how your suggested default tendency would explain discrepancies within the same population of participants, between long existing and novel social groups.

We are not suggesting what perceivers should do, but test what they actually do, given the two types of information

Mayan Navon-Shapira @mayanna.bsky.social · 17/11/2025
Thanks for the input!! This is a test of the models in the context of novel groups, no prior knowledge of the perceivers. Discrepancy from prior findings with long-existing groups can be attributed to confounding boundary conditions, such as specific motivations or extrapersonal associations

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.

- We used highly salient group cues (skin tone) - We instructed participants to form group-based impressions - We tested both more and less automatic evaluations (via indirect and self-report measures) - We improved the structural fit of our measures and experimental paradigm

This overturns familiar assumptions of perceivers as “cognitive misers” and calls for rethinking how we conceptualize automatic evaluations.

Mayan Navon-Shapira @mayanna.bsky.social · 14/11/2025
Even with skin tone as a group marker and explicit instructions to form group-based impressions, people relied more on the actual characteristics of the individual they encountered.

Mayan Navon-Shapira @mayanna.bsky.social · 14/11/2025
The result? Across the board, individuating information outweighed group information -- not only for more controlled, less automatic evaluations, but also for automatic evaluations!

Mayan Navon-Shapira @mayanna.bsky.social · 14/11/2025
Building on a provocative finding by Navon & Bar-Anan (2023), we designed two large-scale experiments (Ns = 605, 657) that address previous methodological limitations and tested which information dominates less\more automatic evaluations of individual group members

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
Attitude research has long been concerned with the potential influence of demand characteristics in evaluative conditioning effects. Here, we argue that this concern remains justified and cannot be readily dismissed. This is supported by two observations. First, strategies used to rule out a demand account of evaluative conditioning effects have, if anything, supported rather than rejected it. Second, as we illustrate by discussing three recent studies that revisited this question, this investigation is empirically challenging. In the general discussion, we argue that a better understanding of demand effects can advance theorization and practice, and we discuss criteria that may help delineate demand from propositional and memory accounts of evaluative conditioning.

Analysis of 666,623 respondents over 17 years (2007–2023) finds the "American = White" effect is getting weaker Open access: doi.org/10.1038/s415... #SocialPsyc #Psychology #AcademicSky 🧪
Against the backdrop of increasing ethnic diversity in the U.S., we replicate, extend, and challenge previous examinations of the American = White/Foreign = Asian stereotype in the largest sample to date (N = 666,623 respondents) over 17 years (2007–2023). Six key findings emerged. First, a robust American = White association emerged on implicit (Cohen’s d = 0.50) and explicit (Cohen’s d = 0.51) measures. Second, the strength of this effect varied by respondents’ race/ethnicity with implicit stereotypes strongest among White respondents (Cohen’s d = 0.86) and absent among East Asian respondents (Cohen’s d = 0.02). Third, the strength of implicit stereotypes was modulated by age, religion, and ideology—older, Christian, and conservative respondents displayed stronger implicit American = White associations—but not gender or education. Fourth, respondents living in U.S. metropolitan areas with greater Asian representation or a history of voting for Democratic candidates exhibited weaker implicit American = White associations. Fifth, over the past 17 years, implicit and explicit American = White associations decreased by 41% and 47%, respectively, and 14/14 demographic subgroups changed towards neutrality. Finally, we observed suggestive evidence that implicit stereotype trends towards neutrality were temporarily disrupted during the COVID-19 pandemic for White Americans but not Asian Americans.
