The effect of attitude dissimulation on attitude accessibility
Article Abstract:
Two experiments show that both dissimulation and truthful expression about attitudes enhance the recall of attitudes. Attitude dissimulation and attitude expression do not influence attitude change, attitude extremity or attitude certainty; thus those three factors do not mediate the effects of dissimulation and expression on attitude accessibility. The findings also show that attitude dissimulation does not automatically enhance the accessibility of genuine attitudes. The effect occurs only when the subjects are lying, which requies activation and recognition of their genuine attitudes.

The WReSt heuristic: the role of recall as well as feature-importance in and beyond the Cancellation and Focus model
Article Abstract:
The article describes a series of three studies that focus on a combination of recall and feature-importance as the basic process of the "Cancellation and Focus" model and other preference judgments. A new fast-and-frugal "W"eighted "Re"called "St"epwise Comparing (WReSt) heuristic proves more effective in predicting preference ratings across all three studies.
