From Parenthood to Prejudice: Associations Between Parenthood and Anti-Immigrant Sentiments in 38 Industrialized Nations
No full textAnti-immigrant sentiments are a challenge to maintaining the cohesion of modern industrialized societies. In this paper, we ran a pre-registered analysis of the European Social Survey fielded across 38 industrialized nations over the 2002–2018 period (n = 277,466) to investigate whether anti-immigrant sentiments are amplified by the experience of parenthood. Drawing on evolutionary theories of group relations, we predicted that parenthood would increase threat-avoidance motivations, leading to greater anti-immigrant sentiments (H1). We further anticipated stronger effects of parenthood on anti-immigrant sentiments among women than men due to their greater parental investment (H2). Both hypotheses were confirmed in our pooled data analyses with ethnic majority members: whether parenthood was operationalized as having given birth to/fathered a child (biological parenthood) or as having a child living at home (residential parenthood), being a parent was associated with greater anti-immigrant sentiments among both sexes, and larger effects were observed among women than men. By-country analyses revealed cross country variations in the size of the positive association between parenthood and anti-immigrant sentiments. Complementary analyses further showed a stronger effect of parenthood among younger parents (who were more likely to have young, dependent children) than among older parents. Overall, although statistically significant on members of ethnic majorities in the countries surveyed, positive effects of parenthood on anti-immigrant sentiments were modest. This may be due to high levels of safety in contemporary industrialized societies limiting the activation of threat-avoidance mechanisms. Limitations regarding possible confounds are discussed
ASSESSMENT OF HAMSTRING NEUROMUSCULAR FUNCTION AND ITS ASSOCIATION WITH GAIT BIOMECHANICS AFTER ANTERIOR CRUCIATE LIGAMENT RECONSTRUCTION
No full textThe objective of this study is to assess the neuromuscular function at the cortical and local level of the hamstring muscle group in individuals who have undergone anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR) and have regained a certain level of physical activity, approximately one year later. Given the evidence that gait biomechanics is altered in this population, this study will assess it in order to gain a deeper understanding of its origin and potential association with neuromuscular function

The power of explanation: Does corrective “false” feedback improve memory for falsity? Examining the role of salience (Experiment 2)
No full textThe experiment investigates whether better memory for "false" feedback in Experiment 1 was observed due to informativeness or the salience of the correction
Measuring anticipated attitudes and behavior towards a new medical treatment in Lesotho
No full textThe proposed project is a randomized survey experiment to
examine how the level of uncertainty towards a new medical treatment changes in patients when a close other
person supports and is willing to be involved in the patient’s treatment. The proposal is a collaboration
between researchers in Lesotho and Switzerland. Data collection and participant enrollment will take place
entirely in Lesotho at Butha Buthe Hospital
