“…Previous studies also found that participants engaging in unconscious process were more likely to use non-verbal/paraverbal cues, which in turn led to higher accuracy (Feeley and Young, 2000; Reinhard et al., 2013). By contrast, previous studies found that more deliberate processes caused by higher motivation led to higher detection accuracy if participants focused on and processed verbal rather than non-verbal cues (Reinhard, 2010; Reinhard and Sporer, 2010; Wu et al., 2018). It is suggested that verbal cues, rather than non-verbal/paraverbal cues, are more effective for the conscious process.…”

“…Second, no personality factors were considered in the present study. However, a previous study found that attachment anxiety interacted with motivation in a deception detection task (Wu et al., 2018). This suggested that individuals with different personality traits might perform differently when they use conscious or unconscious processes to detect deception.…”

Several recent studies have examined the effect of unconscious thinking on deception detection with the hypothesis that unconscious thought increases the ability to discriminate between truth and deception, but these studies yielded conflicting results. The present study aimed to re-examine the effect of unconscious thinking and extend it by adopting both verbal and non-verbal/paraverbal stimuli. We hypothesized that unconscious thought leads to a higher accuracy rate than immediate decision and conscious thought when judging non-verbal/paraverbal stimuli, but not when judging verbal stimuli. In Study 1, we compared unconscious thought with immediate decision by using both video and audio stimuli. In Study 2, we compared unconscious thought with conscious thought by using both video and text stimuli. The results showed that when detecting deception vs. truth, (1) unconscious thought was not better than immediate decision on deception detection in both audio and video conditions (Study 1), and (2) unconscious thought was not better than conscious thought in both video and text conditions (Study 2). The Bayes factor of both studies also showed substantial evidence for null hypothesis (H0) relative to alternative hypothesis (H1). The implications and limitations of the present study are discussed.

“…We broaden the existing knowledge by demonstrating how (1) workplace ostracism or employees' sense of exclusion operates as a critical mechanism that links perception of contract breach with counterproductive work behaviors, and (2) the role of attachment anxiety in reinforcing this process. In this way, our results focus on the direct beneficial effect of employees' attachment anxiety on work outcomes, such as deception judgments (S. Wu, Cai, et al, 2018), relational opportunities, negative emotions (Paech et al, 2016), and relationship threats. Moreover, we show that the benefits of attachment anxiety may even be indirect , such that employees who yearn for closeness and acceptance, but harbor deep‐seated fears of rejection, are in a worse position to tackle an unfavorable work condition such as perceived contract breach.…”

Applying belongingness and attachment theories, we explore the association between employees' perception of psychological contract breach and counterproductive work behaviors, while also considering the mediating effect of workplace ostracism and the moderating role of attachment styles (i.e., attachment anxiety and attachment avoidance). Time‐lagged data from full‐time personnel working in telecommunications and transportation sectors in North America were collected at three different time points with an interval of 3 weeks between each wave. A total of 272 responses from the three measurement points were retained for our analysis. In support of what was hypothesized, our study's findings show that perception of contract breach fueled workplace deviance through the anticipated effect of workplace ostracism. Furthermore, and in line with what we assumed, the mediating effect of workplace ostracism was reinforced by employees' fear of rejection and abandonment in relationships (i.e., attachment anxiety). The role of attachment avoidance, however, was not found to moderate the indirect effect, contrary to our expectations. In conclusion, embedded in belongingness and attachment theorizing, this study offers empirical evidence of how workplace ostracism is a crucial mechanism that helps to explain the indirect effect through which psychological contract breach triggers counterproductive work behaviors. Furthermore, our findings illustrate how this relationship is conditional on attachment anxiety observed in employees.
