Forthcoming paper in Social Cognition

We are excited to share news about our forthcoming paper, co-authored with Kenneth Tan in Social Cognition on “Tugging at Their Heartstrings: Partner’s Knowledge of Affective Meta-Bases Predicts Use of Emotional Advocacies in Close Relationships.” This work suggests that in the context of romantic relationships, a persuader is more likely to tailor their influence attempts by using emotional appeals when their perception of their partner (the intended message recipient) is validated by their partner’s self-perception.
