The next five questions are based on the following scenario: Researchers wanted to know whether perspective taking or empathy are useful in negotiations, and whether this differs depending on one’s role in the negotiation (i.e., employer vs candidate). They compared perspective taking, empathy, and control instructions in a negotiation task with dyads where each member was assigned the role of ’employer’ or ‘candidate’. The DV was how ‘well’ the participant did in the negotiation (how good a deal they got).

The next three questions are based on the following scenario: A researcher is interested in whether a gender essentializing (vs. de-essentializing) prime will influence likelihood of discrimination against gay people. The researcher presents participants with a research article that either emphasizes genetic, hormonal, and neurological differences between men and women (describing the differences as large, with very little overlap between men and women) or de-emphasizes these differences (describing them as small, and with a lot of overlap). The participants then each evaluate two male candidates for a hypothetical job. The candidates’ resumes are matched in terms of experience, and the interview transcripts are also matched for indications of desirable employee qualities and job fit. Both candidates disclose information about their spouse in the context of the interview, but for one candidate the spouse is male and for the other the spouse is female. After reviewing each candidate’s materials, the participants first make ratings about their impressions of the candidate’s characteristics (i.e., “This candidate is dependable”, “… competent”, “… well-qualified”, etc., rated on a Likert-type scale of “Strongly Disagree” to “Strongly Agree”) and then indicate whether the employer should hire that candidate (Yes/No).
