A central criticism of the IAT is its poor ability to predict outcome variables like behavioural measures. We show that the test difficulty of an IAT (defined via the average IAT effect) influences the ability of the IAT to predict outcome variables.
There are a lot more to be said about the gender paradox (societies with more gender equality demonstrate larger gender differences across a range of phenomena) and things are very complex.
Is Being Elite the Same as Living an Easy Life? High SES people experience their status in two different ways: (i) a sense that one belongs to a historical cultural elite (SES as early life cultural context) and (ii) a sense that one’s life is easy (SES as current rank).
The difference b/w prediction from Bayesian and human reasonings on probability estimation. Humans underreact (in the first few trials) and overreact (thereafter) to the unexpected results. Authors explain this from that participants pay as little attention to the results as possible
The largest meta-analysis (to date) of the effects of creativity training. It seems to have moderate effects, but due to strong publication bias, the effect size may be much smaller or statistically insignificant.
The meta-analytic results suggest that intuition favors a set of heuristics that are related to the instinct for self-preservation: people avoid being harmed, avoid harming others (especially when there is a risk of harm to themselves), and are averse to disadvantageous inequalities.
These findings suggest that status attainment depends not only on the competence and virtue of an individual but also on how individuals can enhance their apparent competence or virtue by behaving assertively, by being extraverted, or through self-monitoring.
We argue that culture has exerted a profound impact on human cognition from the start in a dual manner: It scaffolds cognition through both development and evolution, and it thereby continually diversifies the form and content of human thinking
Generalized morality (measured by one-dimensional judgment from morally good to morally bad, as opposed to contextual morality, involving many contexual factors) may have evolved as society became large and complex where we frequently encounter strangers.
A meta-analysis on the relationship b/w general cognitive ability (intelligence) and job performance based on the researches conducted in this C. Schmidt & Hunter said it was .55, but this study says that it is .22 (although the authors of this study claimed that the # on SH study should be .33.)
A metaanalysis of the effect of the combination of non-invasive brain stimulation and cognitive training. Results: not many studies are of bias-free design. Only few significant effects are found.
A meta-analysis of Summer's hypothesis (the greater male variability hypothesis) on gender gap in creative areas. Results: it does not have much explanatory force.
the prevalent U.S. ideology to “follow your passions” perpetuates academic and occupational gender disparities compared to some other cultural ideologies.
A meta analysis of the effect of "growth mindset." Conclusion: "We conclude that apparent effects of growth mindset interventions on academic achievement are likely attributable to inadequate study design, reporting flaws, and bias"
Study of the dominating factors of school performance. After early school year, g dominates, although which subordinate factors included in g explains the performance changes
Argues that language is not the only dominant factor of the evolution of human's cognition. Interaction between L and other factors (an episodic memory capable of mental time travel, mentalizing, advanced executive attention for governing working memory, and inner speech) was the driving force.
