Summary: This study examined the relationship between the race-based Implicit Association Test (IAT) and other measures of implicit social cognition. The results showed that the race-IAT was related to explicit measures of positive affective empathy but not to other measures of implicit social cognition. These findings have implications for understanding the theoretical basis of the race-IAT as a measure of implicit social cognition and the reliability of social cognition measures.

Summary: The use of implicit cognition paradigm in marketing and consumer studies is still in its early stages, providing researchers and marketers with a unique tool to uncover consumers' implicit attitudes and behavioral tendencies. This special issue focuses on examining consumers' unconscious attitudes and sustainable consumption patterns, aiming to illustrate the theoretical and methodological application of implicit consumer cognition paradigm in marketing and consumer studies.

Summary: This study investigated the differences in implicit and explicit self-identification as a drug user between people who used heroin and methamphetamine, finding that heroin users demonstrated stronger associations and levels of self-identification as a drug user compared to methamphetamine users, which were associated with higher frequency of drug use and longer abstinence duration, respectively.

Summary: The study examined the relationship between exercise evaluations and health/appearance in Iranian adolescents, with a focus on behavioral regulations, explicit attitudes, and social desirability as possible moderators. Results showed that participants in Iran prioritize health outcomes of exercise over physical appearance outcomes, potentially influenced by societal pressures related to having a healthy body.

Summary: How does implicit bias contribute to explicit prejudice? This study found that individuals' concept knowledge about fear and sympathy plays a role in determining whether negative affect (implicit bias) leads to antisocial behavior. Additionally, beliefs about groups also moderate the relationship between implicit negative affect and explicit prejudice.

Summary: Research indicates that over the past decade, gender stereotypes such as male-science/female-arts and male-career/female-family have shifted towards neutrality, weakening by 13%-19%. These trends were observed across nearly all demographic groups and geographic regions in the United States and several other countries.

Summary: This study investigated the impact of stress hormones on facial emotion recognition in young healthy men. The results showed that glucocorticoid and noradrenergic systems did not play a significant role in facial emotion recognition performance in this population.

Summary: This article challenges the traditional distinction between implicit and explicit mentalization, arguing that explicit mentalization can also be carried out through embodied non-verbal actions. Through real-life examples from psychotherapy, the study demonstrates the gradual development from predominantly implicit to predominantly explicit mentalizing, highlighting the importance of embodied dynamics in mentalization processes.

Summary: The latest developments in artificial intelligence (AI) have raised many ethical and socio-economic issues. While most participants explicitly express a positive attitude towards AI, their implicit responses appear to be in the opposite direction. Females tend to show more negative attitudes than males, and those working in the AI field are more positive towards AI.

Summary: Previous research has shown deficits in processing social stimuli associated with depression, but there has been no direct assessment of implicit learning of socio-emotional regularities in depression. In this study, the researchers used an Artificial Grammar Learning task to assess implicit and explicit learning of regularities in social emotional stimuli and social stimuli without explicit emotional content. The results showed that depressive symptomatology was not associated with a learning deficit or advantage, suggesting that depression does not hinder the ability to learn regularities in social contexts.

Summary: This research explores how culture influences different motivations for explicit and implicit support provision. European Americans were more likely to provide explicit support and were motivated by increasing the close other's self-esteem and feeling of closeness. In contrast, Japanese individuals were more likely to provide attentiveness support and were motivated by concern for an entire group and a friend. These findings support the motivation as a mediator hypothesis and the culture as a moderator hypothesis for support provision.

Summary: Results show that the magnitude of implicit adaptation remains similar regardless of whether explicit adaptation is assessed, indicating that assessing explicit adaptation following reach adaptation does not influence the magnitude of implicit adaptation established via the PDP and VRF methods.

Summary: The research finds that Black Americans use identity-based self-protective strategies to maintain their explicit self-esteem after a threat to their intelligence. This effect supports the associative-propositional evaluation (APE) model, which suggests that self-protective strategies operate during a propositional process that results in no change in explicit self-esteem. However, the APE model also suggests that implicit self-esteem may be affected by an intelligence threat, specifically the stereotype that Black Americans are unintelligent.

Summary: Two studies found that attributional framing of negative events influenced explicit and implicit evaluations. In Study 1, participants who made internal attributions evaluated the target more negatively than those who made external attributions. Study 2 replicated these findings and also showed the effects of attribution on recently formed negative evaluations. Overall, the research provides evidence that attribution influences implicit evaluations, although these effects are weaker than on explicit evaluations.

Summary: Consciousness, a feature of animals with complex nervous systems, is primarily a biological rather than a physical problem. This review considers level of consciousness, contents of consciousness, and meta-consciousness, discussing current theories on the neural and cognitive mechanisms involved in producing these aspects. Research in this area is flourishing, successfully delineating these mechanisms in surprising detail.

Summary: The study examined the coordination between two people holding a tray when one of them or a third person removes the glass. The results showed exquisite coordination between the two, which is attributed to the haptic link provided by the rigid platform they are holding. It is suggested that guests should wait for the waiter's attention before lifting a drink from the tray, or assist in holding the tray if unable to wait due to thirst.

Summary: To survive, animals need to predict the behavior of other animals and understand their goals and intentions. The neural mechanisms in the brain can assist animals in making these predictions, including the recognition of animate agents, anticipation of movements based on physical constraints, activation of the action observation network when observing goal-directed behavior, and interpretation of intentions.

Summary: Our conscious experience is influenced by both top-down processes, such as prior beliefs, and bottom-up processes, such as sensations. The balance between these processes depends on their reliability, with more reliable estimates given more weight. We have the ability to modify these estimates at the metacognitive level, allowing us to prioritize either prior beliefs or sensations. However, this flexibility comes at a cost, as an excessive reliance on top-down processes can lead to distorted perceptions and false beliefs, as seen in conditions like schizophrenia. At the highest level of cognitive hierarchy, metacognitive control becomes conscious, allowing us to form beliefs about abstract entities based on limited direct experience and the experiences of others. Our confidence in these higher-level beliefs is heavily influenced by culture and social group, often at the expense of direct experience.
