Red-pilled mama bears and enlightened power goddesses: Discursive constructions of feminine identities in a conspiracy theory space
Br J Soc Psychol. 2023 Dec 28. doi: 10.1111/bjso.12717. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPrevious research into the gendered social identity work involved in conspiracy theories (CTs) has largely focused on expressions of masculinity. The present study investigates the employment and mobilization of feminine identities in online Covid-19 conspiracy theory seminars through a critical discursive psychological perspective. The analysis finds three interpretative repertoires for representing the pandemic: the totalitarianism repertoire, the corrupt medical profession repertoire and the awakening repertoire. The most prominent fem...

White Americans' blame attributions and empathy towards Black victims of police violence: How pejorative stereotypes 'engulf the field'
We examined the dynamics of minority-directed police violence by considering how our White participants' empathy for Black victims may be influenced by critical intragroup differences related to racial stereotyping. Although the role of stereotyping in reactions to Black Americans accused of crime is well-established, we explore the influence of pejorative Black stereotypes on reactions to Black victims of police violence. Specifically, we investigated the roles of individual differences in the endorsement of the Black criminal stereotype among White observers and manipulated the crime-unrelated stereotypicality (i.e. ster...

Opposite effects of RWA and SDO on war support: Chinese public opinion toward Russia's war in Ukraine
Br J Soc Psychol. 2023 Dec 19. doi: 10.1111/bjso.12706. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTPrevious research has identified the combined effects of Right-Wing Authoritarianism (RWA) and Social Dominance Orientation (SDO) on individuals' militant attitudes. Much of the existing studies have been conducted in the United States and Europe, where political cleavage is drawn between liberalism and conservatism and where RWA and SDO are aligned with conservatism. In this article, we argue that in a different ideological backdrop where RWA and SDO are not bound by conservative ideology, their influence on war support varies. We use th...

The sound of silence: The importance of bystander support for confronters in the prevention of norm erosion
We examined how supportive and non-supportive bystander reactions to a confronter impacted the perceived strength of a prosocial norm among participants and their behavioural intentions. We find that when bystanders explicitly supported the confronter against the rule breaker, the norm was perceived as stronger-and sometimes, compliance intentions were higher-than when bystanders did not respond to the confronter. A mini meta-analysis across the three studies reveals that the effect of bystander support on perceived norm strength is large and robust. Our work demonstrates that for the prevention of norm erosion, confrontat...

Is conservative opposition to climate change threat-based? Articulating an integrated threat model of climate change attitudes
Br J Soc Psychol. 2023 Dec 15. doi: 10.1111/bjso.12710. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThroughout the literature, there are assertions that those endorsing conservative ideologies reject the science and solutions of climate change due to perceived threat. That is, they fear that accepting climate change means accepting problems with a favoured socioeconomic system and supporting action on climate change threatens to disrupt these systems. We draw together lines of research and reasoning on this topic to outline three key predictions this perspective makes about the drivers of conservative denial of climate change and opposi...
