Investigating the role of multiple disadvantaged groups and intersectional awareness in promoting intraminority solidarity [Author Accepted Manuscript]
No full textLimited research has examined the dynamics of collective action among disadvantaged groups, especially the impact belonging to multiple disadvantaged groups has on intraminority solidarity. While previous research has found that perceived similarity fosters collective action among disadvantaged group members, in this paper we introduce intersectional awareness as a novel mechanism through which intraminority solidarity among multiple disadvantaged groups can be facilitated. Participants were categorized by their number of disadvantaged group memberships: 0, 1, 2, and 3, based on their race, gender, and sexual identities. Across two studies, participants (N = 550) with a greater number of disadvantaged identities were more likely to engage in collective action for two disadvantaged outgroups (i.e., Muslims, people with a disability). Mediation analysis revealed that increased intersectional awareness but not perceived similarity explained this relationship. This research introduces intersectional awareness as a novel mechanism through which intraminority solidarity can be fostered.The first author received funding from the University of Edinburgh to undertake this research as part of their MScR dissertation.reviewedacceptedVersio
KLARpsy-Text: Stottern rechtshändige Menschen weniger?
No full textKLARpsy-Texte sind kurze, lai:innengerechte, allgemeinverständliche und richtlinienbasierte Zusammenfassungen psychologischer Übersichtsarbeiten. Dieser KLARpsy-Text hat den Titel 'Stottern rechtshändige Menschen weniger?'. Er wurde von Mitarbeitenden des Leibniz-Instituts für Psychologie verfasst. Als testlesende Person war Natalie S. beteiligt. Der KLARpsy-Text befasst sich mit folgenden Inhalten: Stottern kann sehr belastend sein. Betroffene können nicht flüssig sprechen und wiederholen zum Beispiel ungewollt Wörter. Ob Menschen stottern, scheint mit Besonderheiten in der Entwicklung der beiden Gehirnhälften zusammenzuhängen. Ähnliche Unterschiede in der Entwicklung des Gehirns entscheiden, ob Menschen rechtshändig sind oder eine andere Hand bevorzugen. Es ist aber noch unklar, ob diese Händigkeit und Stottern zusammenhängen. Das liegt auch daran, dass frühere Studien Händigkeit unterschiedlich gemessen haben. Zum Beispiel mussten Personen in vielen Studien zwischen linkshändig und rechtshändig wählen. Manchmal durften sie aber auch angeben, beidhändig zu sein. Mit ihrer Übersichtsarbeit wollten die Forschenden herausfinden: Unterscheiden sich Personen mit und ohne Stottern in ihrer Händigkeit? Personen mit und ohne Stottern unterscheiden sich kaum darin, welche Hand sie bevorzugt benutzen. Linkshändige Menschen scheinen zwar leicht häufiger zu stottern. Je nachdem, wie man Händigkeit erfasst, verschwindet dieser Unterschied aber auch wieder.https://klarpsy.de/hintergrundunknownunknow
KLARpsy-Text: Helfen Achtsamkeitstrainings dabei, die Leistung im Denken zu verbessern?
No full textKLARpsy-Texte sind kurze, lai:innengerechte, allgemeinverständliche und richtlinienbasierte Zusammenfassungen psychologischer Übersichtsarbeiten. Dieser KLARpsy-Text hat den Titel “Helfen Achtsamkeitstrainings dabei, die Leistung im Denken zu verbessern?”. Er wurde von Mitarbeitenden des Leibniz-Instituts für Psychologie verfasst. Eine anonyme testlesende Person war beteiligt. Der KLARpsy-Text befasst sich mit folgenden Inhalten: Achtsamkeitstrainings sollen das psychische Wohlbefinden verbessern. Dabei kommen oft Techniken zum Einsatz, die auch die kognitiven Fähigkeiten fördern könnten. Zum Beispiel, wenn es darum geht, die Aufmerksamkeit bewusst zu lenken. Einzelne Studien kamen hier jedoch zu uneinheitlichen Ergebnissen. Mit ihrer Übersichtsarbeit wollten die Forschenden herausfinden: Können Achtsamkeitstrainings die kognitiven Fähigkeiten verbessern? Achtsamkeitstrainings können die Leistung im Denken verbessern. Das gilt besonders für das Arbeitsgedächtnis. Die Trainings helfen Menschen über 60 Jahren eher als jüngeren Menschen.https://klarpsy.de/hintergrundunknownunknow
Intergenerational gender preferences in romantic partner selection: An Indonesian perspective [Author Accepted Manuscript]
No full textTrends in the transition of gender role expectations that have occurred in the last few decades have slowly shifted the views regarding the characteristics that are deemed important in a romantic partner. Both evolutionary and contemporary perspectives are considered in the effort to better understand changes in these shifts. This study aims to explore these shifts by comparing data from two generations based on the year of marriage. Using a cross-sectional design, 279 Indonesian heterosexual married adults (Mage = 39.95; SD = 10.23) completed Buss’ (2013) Mate Preferences Questionnaire. Participants were grouped by the year of marriage: the senior group (n = 96; married before 2000) and the younger group (n = 163; married after 2000). Their responses were analyzed using a two-way ANOVA. The study results show that based on sex differences, there were no significant differences between the senior group and the younger group in romantic partner preferences. However, when considering the time of marriage, participants in the younger group prioritised certain criteria more strongly than those in the senior group. These included maintaining order, being ambitious, and having good prospects in terms of intelligence and finances. The interaction between gender differences and marital duration showed significant differences in theimportance of similar education levels as well as good education and intelligence. The study highlights the impact of evolving gender role expectations on the process of selecting romantic partners.reviewedacceptedVersio
World beliefs predict self-reported sustainable behaviors beyond Big Five personality traits and political ideology
No full textGeneralized beliefs about the world—termed ‘primal world beliefs’ or ‘primals’—have been hypothesized to affect behavior, since they contain information which influences the perceived costs, benefits, and justifications for different behaviors. For example, people who see the world as highly improvable may view prosocial behaviors as having more benefits and therefore be more inclined to work harder on making things better. Three preregistered studies (N = 1,534 US participants) investigated the relationship between primals and several measures of people’s propensity toward sustainable behavior. Beliefs that the world is less hierarchical, but more improvable, cooperative, harmless, meaningful, and abundant were weakly to moderately associated with self-reported ethically-minded consumer behavior, pro-environmental behavior, and behavioral intentions. These relationships were largely robust to controlling for Big Five traits and political ideology, although some of the relationships were subsumed by the more general belief that the world is good. Changes in two world beliefs (cooperative, harmless) over a three-week period weakly predicted pro-environmental behavior intentions when controlling for people’s previously reported pro-environmental behavior. These correlational findings suggest some possible avenues for future research: if these beliefs are found to be causally prior to environmental attitudes, they may offer a promising target for interventions aimed at increasing sustainable behavior.peerReviewedpublishedVersio
Supplementary materials to "Assessing early math skills in preschoolers by using digital games"

The supplementary materials enhance the transparency and comprehensiveness of the TPM assessment by providing detailed mappings, transcripts, and additional analyses. The inclusion of the T1 data analysis complements the T2 findings, offering a more complete picture of the research outcomes. The percentile scales and correlation data help educators and researchers interpret the assessment results in a meaningful way.unknownunknow
Qualitative data, Study 1 for: Motive Attributions Shape Judgments of Whistleblowers’ Moral Characters
No full textPublic perceptions of whistleblowers are polarized: While some praise them as heroes, others view them as traitors. We argue that polarized moral judgments stem from motives attributed to the whistleblower. To test this, we first identified relevant motive attributions in whistleblowing situations via a qualitative study (N = 201). Participants read a whistleblowing scenario and were asked which motives they attributed to the actor. Coding of open-ended responses revealed four main motive attributions: prosocial, competitive, individualistic, and deontic. In a second study with a similar scenario (N = 125), we then developed and validated a self-report scale capturing the four motive attributions. In a third scenario study (N = 742), we manipulated the type of whistleblowing (no, internal, external, or public whistleblowing) and found that the type of whistleblowing affected judgments of the whistleblower’s moral character and that this relationship was mediated by prosocial, competitive, and deontic motive attributions.unknow

Datasets and Codebooks for: Belief in a Norm‐Consistent Climate Policy Conspiracy Theory and Non‐Normative Collective Action
No full textBelieving in conspiracy theories is connected to support for non‐normative collective action. One explanation might be that this is due to both being non‐normative. Alternatively, it might be the case that non‐normative action appears justified based on what conspiracy theories alleging harm to a personally relevant group due to powerholders’ secret actions imply about social reality. To test this assumption, we focus on the belief in a norm‐consistent (i.e., popular and plausible) climate policy conspiracy theory alleging that powerful groups (i.e., politicians and the business sector) act without public oversight, leading to climate policies that suit their interests but are harmful to the public. Across three studies—one using a quota‐based German sample and two preregistered replications (Ntotal = 1257)—we investigate how the belief in such a theory relates to the endorsement of non‐normative collective action, and test whether this relationship also emerges for the belief in a norm‐inconsistent (i.e., implausible and unpopular) climate policy conspiracy theory suggesting a similar social reality (Study 3). Our data show that beliefs in both norm‐consistent and norm‐inconsistent climate policy conspiracy theories correlate positively with support for non‐normative collective action, while only the belief in a norm‐consistent climate policy conspiracy theory was related to normative collective action. In contrast, a stronger predisposition to believe in conspiracy theories (i.e., conspiracy mentality), albeit positively correlated with belief in a norm‐consistent climate policy conspiracy theory, was related to lower support for non‐normative collective action serving climate protection.Datasets and Codebooks for: Pummerer, Ditrich, Winter, & Sassenberg (2025).

CASQ. Coping Across Situations Questionnaire
No full textDer CASQ erfasst das individuelle Bewältigungsverhalten von Jugendlichen in belastenden Situationen. 20 Bewältigungsstrategien in acht altersspezifischen Problembereichen werden den drei Subskalen "Aktive Bewältigung", "Internale Bewältigung" und "Rückzug" zugeordnet,. Reliabilität: Die interne Konsistenz nach Cronbachs Alpha lag bei Alpha = .73 bis Alpha = .88. Validität: Es konnten signifikante Unterschiede in der Problembewältigung in Bezug auf Geschlecht, Alter und Nationalität gefunden werden. Zudem beeinflussen Bindungsrepräsentationen die Problembewältigung von Jugendlichen. Bezüglich der Kriteriumsvalidität wurde nachgewiesen, dass "Aktive Bewältigung" positiv korreliert mit Selbstwert, elterlicher Wärme und der wahrgenommenen Effizienz des sozialen Netzwerks. Problemmeidendes Verhalten ist mit Internalisierung, Externalisierung, sowie psychologischem Druck und Ablehnung durch die Eltern verbunden.The CASQ measures the individual coping behavior of adolescents in stressful situations. 20 coping strategies in eight age-specific problem areas are assigned to the three subscales “Active coping”, “Internal coping” and “Withdrawal”. Reliability: The internal consistency according to Cronbach's alpha was alpha = .73 to alpha = .88. Validity: Significant differences in problem solving were found in relation to gender, age and nationality. In addition, attachment representations influence adolescents' problem solving. With regard to criterion validity, it was shown that “active coping” correlates positively with self-esteem, parental warmth and the perceived efficiency of the social network. Problem-avoidant behaviour is associated with internalization, externalization, psychological pressure and parental rejection.reviewedpublishedVersio
