31st APS Annual Convention

The Psychological Consequences of the Market-Mode Mentality

Friday, May 24, 2019 · Washington, DC

Symposium · Friday, May 24, 2019 · 2:30 PM – 3:50 PM ET

Subject Area: Social

Twenty-six studies reveal that market mode affects behavior and preferences in children and adults. Market primes boosted social objectification in intimate relationships (Wang), increased transaction-oriented trust but lowered communal trust (Kuzminska), and decreased the feeling of lack of control (Gasiorowska). Relatedly, proportionality-based market norms are observed in children (Echelbarger).
