A generalizable framework for assessing the role of emotion during choice.
American Psychologist, Vol 77(9), Dec 2022, 1017-1029; doi:10.1037/amp0001108The study of emotion has been plagued by several challenges that have left the field fractionated. To date, there is no dominant method for measuring the nebulous and often ill-defined experience of emotion. Here, we offer a new way forward, one that marries numerically precise measurements of affect with current models of human behavior, to more deeply understand the role of emotion during choice, and in particular, during social decision-making. This tool can be combined with multiple other measures that capture different features and levels of ...

Varieties of interdependence and the emergence of the Modern West: Toward the globalizing of psychology.
American Psychologist, Vol 77(9), Dec 2022, 991-1006; doi:10.1037/amp0001073Cultural psychology—the research field focusing on the mutual constitution of culture and the mind—has made great strides by documenting robust cultural variations in how people think, feel, and act. The cumulative evidence is consistent with the hypothesis that Westerners are independent, whereas those in the rest of the world are interdependent. Although this research traditionally examined North Americans and East Asians, recent research has extended this literature to other non-Western regions. We review this emerging research and describe ...

Racial uplifts and the Asian American experience.
We report on data from a mixed-method study of everyday racial uplifts in the lives of Asian American youth. Study 1a (n = 20; age range = 17–23 years) and Study 1b (n = 14; age range = 18–22 years) examined data collected through semistructured focus group interviews. Study 2 used data from a 14-day diary study (n = 152; age range = 16–20 years). A consensual qualitative research analysis of interview data revealed six major racial uplifting themes: (a) ethnic bonding, (b) overcoming obstacles, (c) bicultural competence, (d) cultural bridging, (e) globalism, and (f) outgroup regard. Analysis of end-of-day diary data...

Gender disparities in authorship of invited submissions in high-impact psychology journals.
American Psychologist, Vol 78(3), Apr 2023, 333-345; doi:10.1037/amp0001106Women comprise the majority of graduates from psychology doctoral programs, but equity is yet to be achieved in the professoriate. Publication drives career advancement, underscoring the need to investigate publication-based metrics of eminence. To our knowledge, authorship of invited submissions—a proxy of research esteem—has not been the focus of any psychology studies. In this cross-sectional study, authorship of invited submission(s) in five elite psychology journals (2015–2019) was investigated: Psychological Science in the Public Interes...
