We tested the hypothesis that, following a transgression, victims and perpetrators differ in their focus of attention. In three studies (total N = 740), we manipulated participants’ social role (victim vs. perpetrator) in a hypothetical scenario (Studies 1 and 2) and in a perceived real conflict (Study 3) in an interpersonal (Studies 1 and 2) and an intergroup (Study 3) context. Results from all studies confirmed that victims show a stronger self‐focus than perpetrators. Moreover, results suggest victims’ higher self‐focus as a predictor of willingness to reconcile. Participants’ self‐focus mediated the effect of social role on reconciliation intentions as a single mediator (Study 2), or in sequence with their motivation to consider the other party's needs (Study 3). Overall, the present research suggests that victims and perpetrators differ in their focus of attention, and that this difference has important theoretical and practical implications for reconciliation between individuals and between groups.

“…The experiences of feeling detached from one’s body and of “sinking into pictures” were assessed by single items constructed for the purpose of this study. These items were rated on a 4-point Likert scale ranging from “not at all” to “completely.” For the assessment of subjectively experienced waste of time the item “In your honest opinion, do you think this survey was a waste of time?” was used ( O’Brien et al, 2011 ). In addition, participants in the time-awareness conditions were asked if they used counting to estimate time correctly.…”

Losing track of time through delayed body representations

et al. 2015

The ability to keep track of time is perceived as crucial in most human societies. However, to lose track of time may also serve an important social role, associated with recreational purpose. To this end a number of social technologies are employed, some of which may relate to a manipulation of time perception through a modulation of body representation. Here, we investigated an influence of real-time or delayed videos of own-body representations on time perception in an experimental setup with virtual mirrors. Seventy participants were asked to either stay in the installation until they thought that a defined time (90 s) had passed, or they were encouraged to stay in the installation as long as they wanted and after exiting were asked to estimate the duration of their stay. Results show that a modulation of body representation by time-delayed representations of the mirror-video displays influenced time perception. Furthermore, these time-delayed conditions were associated with a greater sense of arousal and intoxication. We suggest that feeding in references to the immediate past into working memory could be the underlying mental mechanism mediating the observed modulation of time perception. We argue that such an influence on time perception would probably not only be achieved visually, but might also work with acoustic references to the immediate past (e.g., with music).

“…Likewise, other research has demonstrated that time seems to drag when individuals are not enjoying themselves (Danckert & Allman, 2005;O'Brien, Anastasio, & Bushman, 2011;Ratcliffe, 2012). Danckert and Allman (2005) found that participants who were bored experienced time as passing more slowly than those who were not bored.…”

JOURNAL PURPOSE STATEMENTThe twofold purpose of the Psi Chi Journal of Psychological Research is to foster and reward the scholarly efforts of psychology students as well as to provide them with a valuable learning Postmaster: Send ad dress chang es to the address below. (Stuhlmacher & Walters, 1999). Men are four times more likely than women to negotiate for their salary and, when it comes to first job offers, only 7% of women negotiate whereas 58% of men do (Babcock & Laschever, 2003). According to a meta-analysis (Stuhlmacher & Walters, 1999), when women do negotiate, they negotiate for lower profits than men. These sex differences in negotiation are particularly problematic given that the amount of money asked for during a negotiation largely determines the outcome salary (Barron, 2003).The purpose of the current research was to better understand multiple factors that may increase or decrease gender differences in negotiation outcomes. Because women are stereotyped as being less effective negotiators than men (Kray, Thompson, & Galinsky, 2001), they tend to negotiate less successfully than men when they experience stereotype threat (Kray et al., 2001;Tellhed & Björklund, 2011). The current research examined situations that may minimize the effects of stereotype threat and reduce the salary gap....
