The Spirit Level (Book Review)

Coert Visser in: Boeken & artikelen 22 feb 2010

Positive Psychology News Daily published my review of the book The Spirit Level: Why Greater Equality Makes Societies Stronger by Richard Wilkindon and Kate Pickett:

The Spirit Level (Book Review)

Diminishing Returns of Economic Growth

Richard Wilkinson and Kate Pickett, two English epidemiologists, have written a provocative book on how high levels of inequality in societies are harmful for everyone within them. Their research shows that while economic policies in developed countries stress the importance of economic growth, the contribution of further economic growth reaches a point of dimiminishing marginal returns. The relationship levels off between economic growth and certain objectively measurable outcomes, as shown for life expectancy in the figure below. Read full article here.

Insincere Flattery Actually Works: A Dual Attitudes Perspective

Coert Visser in: Ongerubriceerd 18 feb 2010

Flattery—the art of offering pleasing compliments—is one of the oldest and most commonly used of persuasion tactics. Instances of flattery also abound in the marketing context because making consumers feel good about themselves can often lead them to evaluate the flatterer positively. However, when prospective consumers are fully aware of a clear ulterior motive underlying the compliment, both prior research and intuition suggest that recipients will discount the flattering comments and correct their otherwise favorable reactions.

Voicing Conflict: Preferred Conflict Strategies Among Incremental and Entity Theorists

Coert Visser in: Ongerubriceerd 17 feb 2010

The way individuals choose to handle their feelings during interpersonal conflicts has important consequences for relationship outcomes. In this article, the authors predict and find evidence that people’s implicit theory of personality is an important predictor of conflict behavior following a relationship transgression. Incremental theorists, who believe personality can change and improve, were likely to voice their displeasure with others openly and constructively during conflicts. Entity theorists, who believe personality is fundamentally fixed, were less likely to voice their dissatisfactions directly. These patterns were observed in both a retrospective study of conflict in dating relationships (Study 1) and a prospective study of daily conflict experiences (Study 2). Study 2 revealed that the divergence between incremental and entity theorists was increasingly pronounced as conflicts increased in severity: the higher the stakes the stronger the effect.
