  • Power Changes How the Brain Responds to Others
    Journal of Experimental Psychology: General © 2013 American Psychological Association 2014, Vol. 143, No. 2, 755–762 0096-3445/14/$12.00 DOI: 10.1037/a0033477 Power Changes How the Brain Responds to Others Jeremy Hogeveen Michael Inzlicht Wilfrid Laurier University University of Toronto Scarborough Sukhvinder S. Obhi Wilfrid Laurier University Power dynamics are a ubiquitous feature of human social life, yet little is known about how power is implemented in the brain. Motor resonance is the activation of similar brain networks when acting and when watching someone else act, and is thought to be implemented, in part, by the human mirror system. We investigated the effects of power on motor resonance during an action observation task. Separate groups of participants underwent a high-, neutral, or low-power induction priming procedure, prior to observing the actions of another person. During observation, motor resonance was determined with transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) via measures of motor cortical output. High-power participants demonstrated lower levels of resonance than low-power participants, suggesting reduced mirroring of other people in those with power. These differences suggest that decreased motor resonance to others’ actions might be one of the neural mechanisms underlying power-induced asymmetries in processing our social interaction partners. Keywords: power, motor resonance, human mirror system, TMS, social cognitive neuroscience The profound evolution of primate neocortex was influenced by process other individuals. Despite what we know about the effects the computational demands of living in a complex social environ- of power on social information processing, the majority of the ment (Dunbar & Shultz, 2007).

    Running Head: WHAT’S SO GREAT ABOUT SELF-CONTROL? 1 What’s so great about self-control? Examining the importance of effortful self-control and temptation in predicting real-life depletion and goal attainment Marina Milyavskaya Carleton University Michael Inzlicht University of Toronto In press, Social Psychological and Personality Science Key words: self-control; temptation; goal pursuit; ego-depletion; experience-sampling CORRESPONDING AUTHOR: Marina Milyavskaya Department of Psychology, Carleton University, Loeb B550, 1125 Colonel By Drive Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, K1S 5B6 [email protected] WHAT’S SO GREAT ABOUT SELF-CONTROL? 2 Abstract Self-control is typically viewed as a key ingredient responsible for effective self-regulation and personal goal attainment. This study used experience sampling, daily diary and prospective data collection to investigate the immediate and semester-long consequences of effortful self-control and temptations on depletion and goal-attainment. Results showed that goal attainment was influenced by experiences of temptations rather than by actively resisting or controlling those temptations. This study also found that simply experiencing temptations led people to feel depleted. Depletion in turn mediated the link between temptations and goal attainment, such that people who experienced increased temptations felt more depleted and thus less likely to achieve their goals. Critically, results of Bayesian analyses strongly indicate that effortful self-control was consistently unrelated to goal attainment throughout all analyses. WHAT’S SO GREAT ABOUT SELF-CONTROL? 3 What’s so great about self-control? Examining the importance of effortful self-control and temptation in predicting real-life depletion and goal attainment Self-control has been touted by scientists and the media alike as the great cure for today’s societal problems.

The present studies focus on the effects of motivation on impulsive processes, including automatic preferences for goal-disruptive stimuli and subjective reports of temptations and obstacles, contrasting them with effects on controlled processes. This is done by examining people’s implicit affective reactions in the face of goal-disruptive “temptations” (Studies 1 and 2), subjective reports of obstacles (Studies 2 and 3) and expended effort (Study 3), as well as experiences of desires and self-control in real-time using experience sampling (Study 4).

More specifi cally, we discuss several research programs that employ electro- encephalography, event-related potentials, or functional magnetic resonance imaging methods to examine neural correlates of stereotype and social identity threat. We present neuroimaging studies that show brain activation related to the experience of being stereotyped and ERP studies that shed light on the cognitive processes underlying social identity processes. Among these are two projects from our own lab.
