Cues of control modulate the ascription of object ownership
Psychological research, 2017
Knowing whether an object is owned and by whom is essential to avoid costly conflicts. We hypothesize that everyday interactions around objects are influenced by a minimal sense of object ownership grounded on respect of possession. In particular, we hypothesize that tracking object ownership can be influenced by any cue that predicts the establishment of individual physical control over objects. To test this hypothesis we used an indirect method to determine whether visual cues of physical control like spatial proximity to an object, temporal priority in seeing it, and touching it influence this minimal sense of object ownership. In Experiment 1 participants were shown a neutral object located on a table, in the reaching space of one of two characters. In Experiment 2 one character was the first to find the object then another character appeared and saw the object. In Experiments 3 and 4, spatial proximity, temporal priority, and touch are pitted against each other to assess their ...

6 Abstract Knowing whether an object is owned and by 7 whom is essential to avoid costly conflicts. We hypothesize 8 that everyday interactions around objects are influenced by 9 a minimal sense of object ownership grounded on respect 10 of possession. In particular, we hypothesize that tracking 11 object ownership can be influenced by any cue that predicts 12 the establishment of individual physical control over 13 objects. To test this hypothesis we used an indirect method 14 to determine whether visual cues of physical control like 15 spatial proximity to an object, temporal priority in seeing 16 it, and touching it influence this minimal sense of object 17 ownership. In Experiment 1 participants were shown a 18 neutral object located on a table, in the reaching space of 19 one of two characters. In Experiment 2 one character found 20 the object first; then another character appeared and saw 21 the object. In Experiments 3 and 4, spatial proximity, 22 temporal priority, and touch...

Mental Ownership: Does Mental Rehearsal Transform Novel Stimuli Into Mental Possessions
Abstract Mentally rehearsing unfamiliar first names for the purpose of categorizing them into a group produces both preference for and, more surprisingly, identification with the group of names (ie, association of the names with self; Greenwald, Pickrell, & Farnham, 2002). The present research started as an effort to determine how these 'implicit partisanship'effects of stimulus exposures differed from the well-known mere exposure effect and whether mental rehearsal might play a role in both phenomena. Four experiments found that parallel ...
