New technologies have led to several major advances in psychological research over the past few decades. Peer nomination research is no exception. Thanks to these technological innovations, computerized data collection is becoming more common in peer nomination research. However, computer-based assessment is more than simply programming the…

The present report describes an expanded replication of the previous experiments in a nonlaboratory real-play setting unique to the experimental literature on decision processes - a casino in downtown Las Vegas. (Author)

The intent of the present work is to identify factors affecting the willingness of observers to respond to a white collar crime in a socially responsible manner by reporting it and by refusing to become an accessory to it. (Author)

The entire paper can be summarized by considering the presentation of a stimulus which acts by restricting the set of possible words to a defined short list and the resulting human choice that makes use of information from the stimulus to favor one of the words in the list rather than others. (Author/RK)

This paper addressed itself to the general question of the depth of processing required for lexical decision. (Author/RK)

In this article the authors examined three broad models for the congruity effect and tested them in a verification task. In so doing they attempted to learn something new about perceptual codes and perceptual judgments. (Author/RK)

Two experiments investigated the question of whether those attributes of stimuli effective in eliciting attention are also effective in motivating choice. (Editor)

The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of amount of information and number of judgments required of subjects upon information order effects in recruitment interview decisions. (Author)

The operation of a covert information processing mechanism was investigated in two experiments of the self-persuasion phenomena; i. e., making an inference about a stimulus on the basis of one's past behavior. (Editor)

This paper described four experiments designed to provide insight into the mechanisms used to resolve difficult choices. (Author/RK)

The studies reported here asked: (a) How does receipt of outcome knowledge affect judgment? (b) How aware are people of the effects that outcome knowledge has on their perceptions? Answers to these questions will shed light on how people do learn and might better learn from history. (Author/RK)

This research attempts to place into an historical and philosophical perspective the major positions taken by psychologists prescribing how ethical questions "should" be answered and reports two experimental investigations of some of the situational and individual-difference factors that influence how individuals "do" make ethical judgments.…

The comparison of data from two vocabulary-learning studies involving a total of 2,483 males and females in the fifth and sixth grades suggests that "common sense" decisions regarding the selection and assignment of learning materials may be ineffecient if not detrimental. (Editor)

A model of similarity-based retrieval is presented that attempts to capture these seemingly contradictory psychological phenomena: (1) structural commonalities are weighed more heavily than surface commonalities in soundness or similarity judgments (when both members are present); (2) superficial similarity is more important in retrieval from…
