Résumé : Approach/avoidance tendencies are among the most important behavioral responses when encountering a stimulus. If so, one should be able to demonstrate that people should be faster to decide to approach positive stimuli and to avoid negative stimuli than the other way around (i.e., a compatibility effect). This has been demonstrated notably by Chen and Bargh (1999) with arm movements (flexion vs extension). In this line of research, we first tried to replicate this compatibility effect by using three previously used approach/avoidance tasks (the joystick task, a pressing/withdrawing task, and a modified keyboard task). These three experiments did not replicate the compatibility effect. Following this failure to replicate, we adopted a grounded cognition approach to identity two critical features we reasoned should be critical to produce reliable compatibility effects: 1) a first-person perspective and 2) a simulation of movement of the whole self (instead of arm movements). In this talk, I will present a set of experiments testing how critical these features are to produce strong, reliable compatibility effects. In this talk I will also present studies showing how this work can have consequences for the indirect measures in social psychology.
