Pleasure in the mind: Restrained eating and spontaneous hedonic thoughts about food. (2007, methodology): “Response latencies of incorrect responses or larger than three standard deviations above the mean were excluded from analyses (2%, no diVerences between conditions; see also Hassin et al., 2005).”
The antecedents and consequences of human behavioral mimicry. (2013, background): “These effects are not limited to those with whom we have a close relationship; just witnessing another person’s behavior causes people to automatically infer the underlying goal (Hassin et al. 2005) and then adopt and pursue that goal themselves (Aarts et al. 2004).”
Mindreading: Judgments About Intentionality and Motives in Dispositional Inference (2009, background): “Although these examples imply deliberate thinking on the part of the perceiver, the process is not fixed ( Kruglanski & Orehek, 2007 ) and inferences about goals and motives may sometimes occur spontaneously ( Fiedler & Schenck, 2001 ; Hassin, Aarts & Ferguson, 2005 ; Reeder et al, 2004 ; Vonk, 1”
Can robots manifest personality? : An empirical test of personality recognition, social responses, and social presence in human-robot interaction (2006, background): “For example, ﬁndings in social psychology such as social appropriateness and politeness (Reeves & Nass, 1996), spontaneous trait inferences (Todorov & Ule-man, 2004), and automatic goal inference (Hassin, Aarts, & Ferguson, 2005) can be applied to predict possible interaction patterns in HRI.”
Behavioral cues to others’ motivation and goal pursuits: The perception of effort facilitates goal inference and contagion (2007, methodology): “Following previous work on the spontaneous processes in goal inferences (e.g., Aarts, Gollwitzer, & Hassin, 2004; Hassin et al., 2005; Long & Golding, 1993), implicit measures were used to assess the mental accessibility of the helping goal representation in a word-completion task (Experiment 1)…”
Social cognition and the brain: A meta‐analysis (2009, background): “A related perspective is that we first identify the intentions, desires, or motives of an actor spontaneously [Fein, 1996; Hassin et al., 2005; Heider, 1958; Malle, 1999; Read and Miller, 1993] and that this process shapes the trait inferences we subsequently make.”
Health and goal-directed behavior: The nonconscious regulation and motivation of goals and their pursuit (2007, unknown): “To test the effect of discrepancy detection, they employed a probe-recognition paradigm (Hassin, Aarts, & Ferguson, 2005 ; McKoon & Ratcliff, 1986 ; Uleman, Hon, Roman, & Moskowitz, 1996 ).”
The Unconscious Consumer: Effects of Environment on Consumer Behavior (2005, unknown): “Iacoboni, M. (2005). Understanding others: Imitation, language, empathy.”
Beyond priming effects: The role of positive affect and discrepancies in implicit processes of motivation and goal pursuit (2005, methodology): “As Hassin, Aarts, and Ferguson (2005) have demonstrated, such goal inferences can occur spontaneously, without conscious intentions or awareness (see also Aarts et al., in press).”
Social Contagion of Motivation Between Teacher and Student: Analyzing Underlying Processes (2010, background): “Although this process of making inferences might appear to demand many cognitive resources, Hassin et al. (2005) demonstrated that individuals spontaneously interpret others’ motives.”
