THANK YOU! Also, I want an “enable postmodern comments” option where it replaces your comment with random words.

It does seem like The Worm is one of those niche skills you should learn before going on Survivor. What are some others? Which ones would be your highest priority?

I’d be curious to hear your answer! I lean left = kiki and right = bouba?

🧵 This was an admittedly sparse task, in which all the participants had to go off of were the candidates' names (and pictures or videos, in some experiments). It would be interesting to combine this with resumes or other content in a future study.

🧵 The paper is open access, and all materials are available on OSF!

🧵 We also found that when participants felt a candidate's name was a better fit, they were judged more positively across the board.

🧵 When participants saw a videotaped interview of the candidates, names no longer had an effect.
It seems that sound symbolism has less of an effect when there are competing cues. We discuss this along with theories of iconicity and subjective construal of forms.

🧵 Importantly, the sounds in a name still had an effect (though attenuated) when participants got pictures of candidates.

🧵 Participants chose the candidate with sonorant consonants for job ads describing an ideal candidate as being high in Honesty-Humility, Agreeableness and Openness.

post
🧵 We created job ads that described an ideal candidate as being high in one personality factor from the HEXACO.
Participants then chose between a candidate with sonorant consonants (e.g., Liam) or voiceless stop consonants (e.g., Kirk) in their name.

Why are hard shell tacos still the prototypical taco, when soft shell tacos are superior in every way?
