Cross-race rejection was associated with significantly lower total peripheral resistance than same-race rejection during both a speech task (F(1,84)=6.26, p=.014, d=0.55) and a discussion task (F(1,84)=8.19, p=.005, d=0.63), indicating an approach/challenge-like cardiovascular pattern rather than a withdrawal/threat pattern.

- The study found that for disappeared objects, human imagination primarily uses a serial process, tracking each object one after another rather than simulating multiple objects in parallel.
- Researchers found that human imagination's capacity for tracking disappeared moving objects was limited to one object, contrary to their initial expectation that it could track approximately three or four.
- In a 2015 conceptual replication study with 200 participants, Ranehill et al. found that power posing significantly increased self-reported feelings of power but produced no significant effects on hormonal levels or risk-taking behavior.
- DebunkBot's debunking effect was equally effective when participants were told they were speaking with a human expert rather than an AI.
- In 2015, Brian Nosek's lab attempted to replicate 100 studies from three psychology journals and was unable to reproduce a large portion of the original findings.
- University of Tennessee at Knoxville psychologist Lowell Gaertner and his colleagues argued that examining surface differences among cultures (the phenotype) does little to advance understanding of universal human behavior or genotype.
