The impact of conspiracy beliefs on a targeted group: Perceived popularity of Jewish-targeted conspiracy beliefs elicits outgroup avoidant behaviours
Br J Psychol. 2023 Dec 3. doi: 10.1111/bjop.12690. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn three studies with Jewish participants, we explored the consequences of intergroup conspiracy theories on those targeted. In Study 1 (N = 250), perceived Jewish conspiracy theory popularity was positively associated with intergroup threat and negatively associated with the closeness of contact with non-Jewish people. Study 2 (n = 194) employed an experimental design where Jewish participants were exposed to the idea that many (vs. few) non-Jewish people believe in Jewish conspiracy theories. A path model demonstrated that exposure to the ma...

A comparative analysis of colour-emotion associations in 16-88-year-old adults from 31 countries
Br J Psychol. 2023 Dec 2. doi: 10.1111/bjop.12687. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAs people age, they tend to spend more time indoors, and the colours in their surroundings may significantly impact their mood and overall well-being. However, there is a lack of empirical evidence to provide informed guidance on colour choices, irrespective of age group. To work towards informed choices, we investigated whether the associations between colours and emotions observed in younger individuals also apply to older adults. We recruited 7393 participants, aged between 16 and 88 years and coming from 31 countries. Each participant asso...

Are there gender differences in promotion-prevention self-regulatory focus?
Br J Psychol. 2023 Nov 20. doi: 10.1111/bjop.12688. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe purpose of this research is to examine gender differences in promotion/prevention self-regulatory focus, a dispositional motivational orientation with major implications for human functioning. First, a review of literature using social cognitive theory as a framework suggests that, driven by socialization processes, (1) women may on average be more prevention focused than men - meaning more vigilant to maintain a secure status quo, whereas (2) men may on average be more promotion focused than women - meaning more eager to advance to a bet...

Personal pronouns and person perception - Do paired and nonbinary pronouns evoke a normative gender bias?
Br J Psychol. 2023 Nov 20. doi: 10.1111/bjop.12686. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTResearch on gender-fair language aims to identify language inclusive to a multitude of individuals, for example, increasing the visibility of women by using paired pronouns (he/she) instead of generic masculine forms (he). However, binary presentations like he/she might come with unwanted side effects and evoke what we label as normative gender bias. A normative gender bias is defined as when words lead to stronger associations with individuals with normative gender expressions than with individuals with non-normative gender expressions, thus...
