Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination02:55

Stereotypes, Prejudice, and Discrimination

94.7K
Humans are very diverse and although we share many similarities, we also have many differences. The social groups we belong to help form our identities (Tajfel, 1974). These differences may be difficult for some people to reconcile, which may lead to prejudice toward people who are different. Prejudice is a negative attitude and feeling toward an individual based solely on one’s membership in a particular social group (Allport, 1954; Brown, 2010). Prejudice is common against people who...

Hindsight Biases01:12

Hindsight Biases

4.2K
Hindsight bias leads you to believe that the event you just experienced was predictable, even though it really wasn’t. In other words, you knew all along that things would turn out the way they did. Can you relate this to the phrase "Hindsight is 20/20" now?

Perceptual Constancy01:12

Perceptual Constancy

1.1K
Perceptual constancy is the ability to recognize that objects remain consistent and unchanged even when their appearance varies due to changes in sensory input. There are four main types of perceptual constancy: size constancy, shape constancy, color constancy, and brightness constancy.
Size constancy is the recognition that an object remains the same size, even when its image on the retina changes. For instance, a bus is perceived to be large enough to carry people, even if it looks tiny from...

Implicit Memories01:24

Implicit Memories

394
Implicit memories, also known as non-declarative memories, are long-term memories that function outside of conscious awareness. These memories influence behavior and skills without explicit knowledge. This type of memory is evident in tasks like playing tennis, snowboarding, and texting. Implicit memory has three subsystems: procedural memory, conditioning, and priming. This type of memory is essential in various activities, from everyday tasks to specialized skills.
One key aspect of implicit...

Factors Affecting Perception01:25

Factors Affecting Perception

2.6K
Perception is influenced by perceptual set, context, motivation, and emotion. Perceptual set, or perceptual expectancy, refers to the tendency to perceive things in a particular way, influenced by previous experiences and expectations. This phenomenon affects the interpretation of stimuli, creating a set of mental tendencies and assumptions that impact sensory perceptions of sound, taste, touch, and sight.
An illustrative example of a perceptual set is the scenario where an airline pilot told...

The Anchoring-and-Adjustment Heuristic01:25

The Anchoring-and-Adjustment Heuristic

7.7K
In order to make good decisions, we use our knowledge and our reasoning. Often, this knowledge and reasoning is sound and solid. However, sometimes, we are swayed by biases or by others manipulating a situation. For example, let’s say you and three friends wanted to rent a house and had a combined target budget of $1,600. The realtor shows you only very run-down houses for $1,600 and then shows you a very nice house for $2,000. Might you ask each person to pay more in rent to get the...

Summary
This summary is machine-generated.

Experiencing awe, a powerful positive emotion, did not consistently alter time perception in laboratory settings. Further research using more naturalistic methods is suggested to explore the emotion-time perception link.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Cognitive Science
  • Neuroscience

Background:

  • Emotion significantly influences time perception, with effects varying based on intensity, valence, and arousal.
  • Awe, a potent positive emotion often triggered by vast stimuli, presents a unique opportunity to study the emotion-time perception relationship.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate whether induced awe expands the perception of time.
  • To examine the effects of awe on both implicit and explicit time perception.

Main Methods:

  • Participants viewed awe-eliciting, positive, or neutral videos.
  • A temporal bisection task assessed time perception by classifying vibrotactile stimuli as short or long.
  • Subjective ratings of awe, valence, and arousal were collected.

Main Results:

  • Awe-inducing videos successfully elicited stronger feelings of awe compared to positive and neutral videos.
  • No consistent effects of awe on implicit and retrospective time perception were found across both studies.
  • A single study indicated a potential association between stronger awe feelings and time dilation.

Conclusions:

  • Laboratory-induced awe does not reliably alter implicit or explicit time perception.
  • Future research may require more ecologically valid methods for inducing awe to better understand its impact on time perception.
