“…The results reported in Chapter 4 suggest that motivational context may have consequences on decisions about which beliefs to target with interventions. This notion is line with research that targeted a different fundamental motivation for behavior (Chiou et al, 2015;S. E. Hill & Durante, 2011).…”

“…physical, financial, social) prowess to others, which is assumed to increase mate value (Ronay & Hippel, 2010;Wang et al, 2009;Wilke et al, 2006). While such behaviors may be deemed functional viewed from an ultimate perspective, we have reviewed literature showing that often such motivations constitute a tradeoff with health costs -such as consequences of tanning and use of diet pills (S. E. Hill & Durante, 2011), smoking (Chiou et al, 2015), alcohol consumption (Hone et al, 2013;Hone & McCullough, 2015), or physical risk taking (Ronay & Hippel, 2010).…”

“…A similar paradigm was used to examine the effect of viewing photos of attractive women on males' self-control over smoking (Chiou, Wu, & Cheng, 2015). Participants were males that had previous intentions to quit smoking.…”

“…E. Hill & Durante, 2011). One of these studies (S. E. Hill & Durante, 2011) found that activating (and thereby prioritizing) a mating motivation decreased women's perceived susceptibility to the negative consequences of tanning and diet pills, whereas a similar paradigm was used to examine the effect of mating motivation on males' self-control over smoking (Chiou et al, 2015). In this latter study, male smokers exposed to photos of attractive women were more likely to discount future health concerns, and instead gave in to their immediate impulse to smoke, indicating a loss of self-control.…”

“…Participants were asked to engage in a test of visual attention (actually a priming task). They were then led to the test room and seated at a computer to perform a Modified Stroop Task (e.g., Chiou, Wu & Cheng, ; Lee & Chiou, ; Segal, Gemar, Truchon, Guirguis & Horowitz, ; Sparrow, Liu & Wegner, ) in which the usual color words were replaced with either SNS‐related words or neutral words. The SNS‐prime condition included five target words related to SNS (e.g., Facebook, Google+, Instagram, Internet, and Twitter) and five SNS‐unrelated words (e.g., Building, Chair, Neutral, Office, and Space) that were presented randomly.…”

People are beginning to develop symbiotic relationships with social networking sites (SNSs), which provide users with abundant opportunities for social interaction. We contend that if people perceive SNSs as sources of social connection, the idea of SNSs may reduce the desire to pursue offline social activities and offline pleasures. Experiment 1 demonstrated that priming with SNSs was associated with a weakened desirability of offline social activities and an increased inclination to work alone. Felt relatedness mediated the link between SNS primes and reduced desire to engage in offline social activities. Experiment 2 showed that exposure to SNS primes reduced the desirability of offline socializing and lowered the desire for offline pleasurable experiences as well. Moreover, heavy users were more susceptible to this detrimental effect. We provide the first experimental evidence that the idea of online social networking may modulate users' engagement in offline social activities and offline pleasures. Hence, online social networking may satisfy the need for relatedness but undercut the likelihood of reaping enjoyment from offline social life.

Appetite for destruction: Counterintuitive effects of attractive faces on people's food choices

Faces in general and attractive faces, in particular, are frequently used in marketing, advertising, and packaging design. However, few studies have examined the effects of attractive faces on people's choice behavior. The present research examines whether attractive (vs. unattractive) faces increase individuals' inclination to choose either healthy or unhealthy foods. In contrast to the beliefs held by most marketing professors, but consistent with visceral state theories, exposure to attractive (vs. unattractive) opposite-sex faces increased choice likelihood of unhealthy foods. This effect was moderated by self-viewrelevant attributes and exerted a particularly powerful influence on individuals who were single (vs. in a relationship) and individuals rating themselves as unattractive (vs. attractive). Furthermore, the effect was mediated by arousal, was stronger for men than for women, but did not generalize after exposure to attractive (vs. unattractive) same-sex faces. As pictorial exposure is sufficient for the effect to occur, these findings have important implications for marketing, advertising, and public health.
