Probably The Most Fun You Could Get Without Omitting SKAP1
g., Latan�� and Nida, 1981; Carver and White, 1994; Gray and McNaughton, 2000) and behavioral disinhibition (e.g., Suler, 2004; Van den Bos et al., 2009, 2011a,b) the aim of this paper was to examine the dynamics of how people make sense of and respond behaviorally to threats in social interaction experiments. To this end, we delineated some important and unexplored effects of reminders of disinhibited behavior. In particular, we reasoned that reminders of behavioral disinhibition would want to affiliate with their peers more. Supporting this line of reasoning we found that reminders of disinhibition lead people to show more conformity with faulty answers given by their peers in the Asch paradigm (Studies 1 and 2). Our findings also revealed increased behavioral affiliation following reminders of behavioral disinhibition (Studies 3 and 4). These effects were obtained on actual behavior in both modern and classic experimental paradigms oriented toward the understanding of human behavior pertaining to public conformity (Asch, 1951, 1955, 1956) and behavioral affiliation (Macrae et al., 1994). Taken together, our studies portray the disinhibited individual as someone who in potentially threatening social interactions affiliates and conforms with his or her peers. Conflict of Interest Statement The authors declare that the research was conducted in the absence of any commercial or financial relationships that could be construed as a potential conflict of interest. Footnotes 1In all studies of this paper, gender was proportionally distributed among conditions. Furthermore, gender did not interact with the hypotheses under consideration and hence was dropped from the analyses. 2We report all manipulations, all data exclusions, and all measures in our studies (Simmons et al., 2012), so we note that in Study 1, 14 extra participants took part in the experiment and were removed from the analyses reported: Three participants knew about the Asch experiments, one participant indicated suspicion about the experimental procedure used, eight participants had to omitted because faults in the experimental procedures were made when running these participants, and two participants from the no-disinhibition control condition were removed from the analyses because inspecting Cook��s (1977) distance measure in our main analysis (Cohen et al., 2003) revealed that they showed a distance score of more than 3.50 SDs above the mean. We Saracatinib chemical structure further note that after assessing conformity in Studies 1 and 2, and measuring distance in Studies 3 and 4, participants completed some questionnaires. The results of these questionnaire findings are not discussed here and are available on request.
