![]() ![]() Instead of simply comparing bilinguals to monolinguals, Gullifer and colleagues used machine-learning techniques to assess different types of bilingualism and their cognitive impacts. Sheikh, and Debra Titoneīilingualism appears to have the greatest impact on cognitive tasks with high language-related uncertainties, similar to those that bilingual individuals experience in their day-to-day lives, this research suggests. Gullifer, Irina Pivneva, Veronica Whitford, Naveed A. Thus, D appears to be sufficient to represent the social preferences inherent in aversive personality traits.īilingual Language Experience and Its Effect on Conflict Adaptation in Reactive Inhibitory Control Tasks Hilbig and colleagues tested 58 traits and found that none explained beyond D the extent to which individuals placed their own gains above those of other people. However, this research suggests that these traits can be understood as manifestations of a single, underlying disposition: the dark factor of personality (D). These behaviors are thought to be driven in part by various aversive (“dark”) traits such as psychopathy, narcissism, greed, or spitefulness. The tendency to maximize one’s own gains above those of other people is associated with behaviors such as aggression, cheating, crime, manipulation, and violence. Hilbig, Isabel Thielmann, Ingo Zettler, and Morten Moshagen The Dispositional Essence of Proactive Social Preferences: The Dark Core of Personality vis-à-vis 58 Traitsīenjamin E. ![]() Epigenetic profiles can clarify how social inequalities become embedded in the body and impact the mind. Children’s epigenetic profiles were also associated with their cognitive and academic skills. They found that children growing up in more socioeconomically disadvantaged environments and children from marginalized racial/ethnic groups had epigenetic profiles indicative of higher chronic inflammation, lower cognitive functioning, and a faster pace of biological aging. Researchers can measure how much stress a person experiences by looking at their epigenetic profile-a score based on markers on the DNA that turn genes “on” or “off.” Raffington and colleagues used salivary DNA to create epigenetic profiles of children and adolescents. Socially Stratified Epigenetic Profiles Are Associated With Cognitive Functioning in Children and Adolescents However, when the alleged perpetrator was a member of the same political group as the participant, the participant was more likely to prioritize justice over safety. Across four experiments, Graso and colleagues found that participants playing the role of observers were more likely to prioritize the victim’s safety over the alleged perpetrator’s due process when the two parties exhibited features that aligned with stereotypes of victims and perpetrators. How do people assess allegations of harm for which there is no physical evidence, such as “my word against yours” cases, allegations involving psychological harm, and incidents that happened in the distant past? Factors might include perceptions about who fits the roles of “victim” and “perpetrator” along with political ideology. When Do Observers Deprioritize Due Process for the Perpetrator and Prioritize Safety for the Victim in Response to Information-Poor Allegations of Harm? The changes align with two of the three strategic goals in APS’s new 5-year strategic plan: to strengthen the global psychological science community and make psychological science more meaningful in the public sphere. Responding to the Association for Psychological Science Strategic Plan, 2022–2027Įditor-in-Chief Patricia Bauer announces several changes intended to ensure that research published in the journal represents a greater breadth of human culture, thought, experience, and behavior. ![]()
