Cultural Fluency and Inherence

This project involves five experiments showing a stable effect of cultural fluency and disfluency on psychological inherence across three countries (Studies 1, 3 and 5 in the U.S., Study 2 in Israel, and Study 4 in China) and an array of cultural products. Relatedly, three studies (Studies 2 to 4) show that inherence mediates the effect of cultural (dis)fluency on essentialism. The data were collected by Ying Lin and Sharon Arieli between February 2016 and May 2017.
