Review of 'Brief Report Burn! How implicit and explicit attitudes predict early adolescents’ “hot sauce” aggression toward classroom peers'

Flashcards covering key vocabulary and concepts from the lecture on implicit and explicit attitudes predicting aggression in early adolescents, including methodology and findings from the hot sauce paradigm study.

Implicit Attitude

Automatic, non-deliberate, and often unconscious evaluations of others that can affect interpersonal behavior.

Explicit Attitude

Deliberate, controlled, and conscious evaluations of others, typically measured by direct questions like likeability ratings.

Hot Sauce Aggression

A measure of aggressive behavior in which early adolescents administer varying amounts of hot sauce to a peer's tasting bowl, interpreted as an unpleasant act by the recipient.

Early Adolescence

The developmental age group (approximately 11 years) studied in research concerning implicit and explicit attitudes and aggression towards peers.

APIM (Actor-Partner Interdependence Model)

A statistical model used for analyzing dyadic data to simultaneously estimate both actor effects and partner effects for interchangeable dyads.

Approach-Avoidance Task (AAT)

A reaction-time paradigm using a joystick to measure implicit evaluation, linking faster approach movements to positive evaluations and faster avoidance movements to negative evaluations.

Dual Process Theories

Psychological theories that distinguish between two types of social processes: explicit (deliberate, controlled) and implicit (non-deliberate, automatic).

Actor Effect

In the APIM, the association between a person's own characteristics (e.g., implicit attitude) and that person's own behavior (e.g., aggression).

Partner Effect

In the APIM, the association between a partner's characteristics (e.g., implicit attitude towards the participant) and the participant's behavior towards that partner.

MODE Model

A model stating that behavior is likely to be guided by implicit rather than explicit attitudes when motivation and opportunity for deliberate processing are low.

Girls' Aggression Prediction (Implicit)

Girls' own implicit negative evaluation of a peer predicted their own increased hot sauce aggression towards that peer (Actor Effect).

Boys' Aggression Prediction (Implicit)

A peer's implicit negative evaluation of a boy predicted the boy's increased hot sauce aggression towards that peer (Partner Effect).
