  Implicit Theories of Relationships: Destiny and Growth Beliefs

  Implicit Theories of Relationships: Destiny and Growth Beliefs

  We examined whether handshakes improved the accuracy with which participants judged a set of targets. Handshakes are interpersonally coordinated behaviors that require motivation and practice to perform well. Therefore conscientiousness may predict how well handshakes are executed. If so

  a person's conscientiousness may be more accurately perceived at zero-acquaintance through a handshake. Individual female and male participants rated the personality of five

  same-gender targets after each had introduced herself or himself. Half of the targets offered and shook hands with the participant as part of the introduction

  half did not. Extraversion was judged most accurately

  regardless of handshake condition. Handshaking moderated impression accuracy of conscientiousness

  especially between men

  which may explain the importance business professionals place on face-to-face interviews.

  A nationwide survey measured 927 recreational cyclists’ cognitions and perceptions about skin cancer risks

  along with sun protection practices and predictors of sunscreen use while cycling. Multiple regressions evaluated associations between perceived costs

  rewards

  photoaging

  self-efficacy and sunscreen use

  and potential moderators of the associations between intentions and sunscreen use were examined. Results suggest that when cyclists see the advantages of using sunscreen

  are worried about photoaging

  and feel efficacious

  they have stronger intentions to apply sunscreen before riding. Intentions to use sunscreen while cycling predict reported use of sunscreen

  particularly when cyclists perceive sunscreen application as easy and viable.
