Analyses of mental contamination: Part II, individual differences.
Recent research on mental contamination (internal, psychological feelings of dirtiness) has focused primarily on examining the experimental variables necessary to provoke contamination-related thoughts, feelings and behaviour; yet, relatively little is known regarding the individual differences among participants' mental contamination responses to these situational and experimental characterist...
متن کاملAnalyses of mental contamination: Part I, experimental manipulations of morality.
The fear of contamination is thought to be comprised of two separate but related fears: those pertaining to physical and mental contamination. Previous research on mental contamination involved studies in which more than one independent variable was manipulated simultaneously. In particular, an immoral act (e.g., a non-consensual kiss) had been coupled with an immoral man (e.g., the person who ...
متن کاملMental Arithmetic Efficiency: Interactivity and Individual Differences
Thinking efficiency as a function of interactivity was examined in a mental arithmetic task. Participants carried out single-digit additions, involving either 7 or 11 numbers, as fast and as accurately as possible. They completed the sums in blocks, five from the ‘easy’ set first, and five from the ‘hard’ set second. These sets were interpolated among a series of other tasks that measured numer...
متن کاملIndividual differences in spatial mental imagery.
In this article, we report a new image-scanning paradigm that allowed us to measure objectively individual differences in spatial mental imagery--specifically, imagery for location. Participants were asked to determine whether an arrow was pointing at a dot using a visual mental image of an array of dots. The degree of precision required to discriminate "yes" from "no" trials was varied. In Exp...

After some conceptual clarifications, it deals with "word association": a kind of psychological experimentation and testing which became popular over the last two decades of the 19th century. F...
