How victim sensitivity affects our attitudes and behaviour towards immigrants
Br J Psychol. 2024 Jan 21. doi: 10.1111/bjop.12695. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThree studies explore the relation between victim sensitivity-the sensitivity to being a victim of injustice - and anti-immigration attitudes and behaviour. Based on theoretical considerations and prior research, we hypothesized that victim sensitivity positively predicts anti-immigration attitudes and behaviour over and above political orientation and ideology. Results from a longitudinal study (Study 1; N = 1038), a computerized online experiment (Study 2; N = 299), and a laboratory experiment (Study 3; N = 178) provide support for this hyp...

Perceiving multiple truths: Does dialectical thinking harmonize colourblind and multicultural ideals?
Br J Psychol. 2024 Jan 19. doi: 10.1111/bjop.12697. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMulticultural and colourblind approaches to managing diversity are often conceptualized to be antagonistic. However, in principle, both have underlying motives for social justice, making it important to understand how they may be psychologically reconciled. In the present research, we examined dialectical thinking as an individual characteristic or condition under which people may endorse them in a conciliatory way. Across five studies (three pre-registered; N = 1899), using well-established materials that have measured and experimentally man...

Preserving the placebo effect after disclosure: A new perspective on non-deceptive placebos
Br J Psychol. 2024 Jan 16. doi: 10.1111/bjop.12696. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe present study explores whether a particular style of placebo disclosure could serve as a tool to foster a renewed trust in one's own inherent resources and elicit a meaningful placebo effect. In a motor performance task, two placebo groups received inert transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) in each of four sessions along with information on its force-enhancing properties. Before the final session, one of the placebo groups was informed about the placebo, which was portrayed as a means to unleash an inherent potential. Along ...

Curious about threats: Morbid curiosity and interest in conspiracy theories in US adults
Br J Psychol. 2024 Feb;115(1):129-147. doi: 10.1111/bjop.12682. Epub 2023 Sep 26.ABSTRACTConspiracy theories allege secret plots between two or more powerful actors to achieve an outcome, sometimes explaining important events or proposing alternative understandings of reality in opposition to mainstream accounts, and commonly highlight the threat presented by the plot and its conspirators. Research in psychology proposes that belief in conspiracy theories is motivated by a desire to understand threats and is predicted by increased anxiety. Morbid curiosity describes the tendency to seek out information about threatening or...

Understanding anxiety through uncertainty quantification
Br J Psychol. 2024 Jan 12. doi: 10.1111/bjop.12693. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTUncertainty has been a central concept in psychological theories of anxiety. However, this concept has been plagued by divergent connotations and operationalizations. The lack of consensus hinders the current search for cognitive and biological mechanisms of anxiety, jeopardizes theory creation and comparison, and restrains translation of basic research into improved diagnoses and interventions. Drawing upon uncertainty decomposition in Bayesian Decision Theory, we propose a well-defined conceptual structure of uncertainty in cognitive and cl...

Comparing the cognitive performance of action video game players and age-matched controls following a cognitively fatiguing task: A stage 2 registered report
In this study, we compared the effect of a cognitively fatiguing task on the subsequent cognitive performance of action video game players and NG control participants. Our results indicated AVGs showed superior spatial working memory and complex attention abilities while showing no difference from NGs on simple attention performance. Additionally, we found that our cognitive fatigue and control interventions did not differentially affect the cognitive performance of AVGs and NGs in this study. This pre-registered study provides evidence that AVGs show superior cognitive abilities in comparison to a non-gaming population, b...

Satisfied on our own, yet ready to leave together: An actor-partner interdependence mediation model on job satisfaction and turnover intentions in leader-follower dyads
This study is unique in using a dyadic approach to analyse leader-follower crossovers with respect to job satisfaction and turnover intention. This study reveals the mediating and cross-over effects of work engagement and emotional exhaustion on the links between positive (negative) events and work outcomes.PMID:38140938 | DOI:10.1111/bjop.12694 (Source: British Journal of Psychology)
