| While perceived genetic risk mattered in both experiments, the effects were sometimes driven by negative changes for those who were told that they were at high risk, and sometimes driven by benefits for those who were told that they had the protective genotype. | Humans are very, very complicated:
| The information itself provides a distinct psychological framework through which the individual interprets their current experience and prepares for future experiences and, as a result, this new mindset influences attention, motivation and, most interestingly, physiology in a manner that confirms their expectations 52 . While perceived genetic risk mattered in both experiments, the effects were sometimes driven by negative changes for those who were told that they were at high risk, and sometimes driven by benefits for those who were told that they had the protective genotype. Whether perceived risk elicits a negative effect or perceived protection elicits a positive effect is likely to differ depending on the gene of interest and the experimental paradigm. | [1.0, 4.0, 3.0, 1.0] | Psychology | train | 2 | tweets | 1074756603478462464 |

New research from our lab.

| Specifically, we found that labels that are unconnected to prior behavior (i.e., inconsistent with consumers' a priori interest in trait-related products) do not prompt adjustments to self-perceptions and affect behavior; low levels of accuracy yield no effect, whereas moderate to high levels of accuracy produce social labeling effects. The results further indicate that while consumers recognize even inaccurate behaviorally targeted ads as implied social labels, it is accuracy (i.e., the match between this prior behavior and the implied label) that determines whether this label is perceived to be relevant to the self, leading to adjustments in self-perceptions that play a mediating role in subsequent trait-related behavior.
