Many conspiracy theories appeared along with the COVID-19 pandemic. Since it is documented that negatively affect vaccination intentions, these beliefs might become a crucial matter in near future. We conducted two cross-sectional studies examining relationship between beliefs, vaccine attitudes, and intention to be vaccinated against when becomes available. also examined how predicted support for controversial medical treatment, namely, chloroquine. In an exploratory study 1 (N = 409),...
Effectively reducing climate change requires marked, global behavior change. However, it is unclear which strategies are most likely to motivate people their beliefs and behaviors. Here, we tested 11 expert-crowdsourced interventions on four mitigation outcomes: beliefs, policy support, information sharing intention, an effortful tree-planting behavioral task. Across 59,440 participants from 63 countries, the interventions' effectiveness was small, largely limited nonclimate skeptics,...
Abstract Even though conspiracy theories are diverse, they typically construed as a homogeneous phenomenon. Using classic theorizations of by Popper and Moscovici, we propose to distinguish between belief in upward (i.e., targeting relatively powerful groups) downward powerless groups). The former theorized power‐challenging beliefs the latter being underpinned conservative ideology. Across three studies conducted Belgium (total N = 2363), show that these two types indeed relate differently...
The 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar has been criticised for numerous social, political, and environmental issues. While an important call to boycott the tournament spread worldwide, research yet document motives underlying a of such mega sporting event. We investigated fans’ intentions four countries Francophonie engaged (N = 1,635). found that being highly identified with team enjoying football aesthetic pleasures predicted rejection boycott, while most robust predictor was concern When...
Despite the scientific consensus about anthropogenic nature of climate change, there are still obstacles hindering society from acknowledging severity situation. Notably, previous research suggests that change threats can cause people to display ethnocentric reactions preserve ingroup’s interests. In this research, we investigate relation between collective narcissism and attitudes towards science. We argue national is negatively associated with acceptance further hypothesized might be...
Abstract: Victimhood has been linked to conspiracy beliefs in various contexts. However, the causal relationship between these constructs remains unclear. Following previous work, could be described as victimized that are consequences of perceiving one’s ingroup especially suffering from a situation (i.e., exclusive forms collective victimhood, comprising competitive victimhood). absence examination, it might also victimizing increase perceptions victimhood. In Studies 1 and 2, which...

Identification with all humanity measured as an individual characteristic is important factor related to social and international relations, such concern for global issues human rights, prosocial attitudes, intergroup forgiveness, attitudes toward immigrants, solving problems, reactions hate crimes dehumanisation. We examine the factorial structure, psychometric properties measurement invariance of All Humanity (IWAH) scale in student samples from five countries (the United States, Poland,...

Conspiracy theories arise during important societal and political events, with negative consequences. Yet, conspiracy remain to be investigated in the context of sporting tournaments, spite importance such events contemporary societies. During 2018 FIFA World Cup, alleging that newly introduced video Assistant Referee (VAR) was used malevolent motives gained popularity online. In this paper, we a Twitter content analysis explore VAR Cup (N = 2,768 tweets). tweets peaked after eliminations...
Many conspiracy theories appeared along with the Zika outbreak. While virus is still circulating, motives underlying beliefs remain underexplored. National narcissism has been shown to be a robust social motive predicting about other public health crises. This relationship interpreted as protecting one's idealistic national image from crisis by externally attributing any potential threatening factors. We seek provide an additional account proposing that such external projection of grievances...
Abstract BACKGROUND With the advent of widespread prostate‐specific antigen (PSA) testing in recent decades, prostate cancer (PCa) has emerged as most frequently diagnosed non‐skin among men U.S. and Europe [1]. Greater screening rates coupled with improved detection methods have caused a controversial upsurge number undergoing biopsy subsequent treatment. However, current diagnostic techniques generally suffer from limited ability to identify which seemingly indolent cancers are...
Individuals differ in their general propensity to believe conspiracy theories, often referred as mentality. Because prototypical theories exhibit a conspiratorial content (i.e., they claim that occurred) and an alternative status are rejected by authorities), it is unclear if mentality captures tendency conspiracies, endorse narratives, or narratives. To adjudicate between these interpretations, we carried out three experimental studies (Ns = 364, 772, 629) which experimentally manipulated...
Abstract Conspiracy beliefs entail a scapegoating function by attributing the consequences of crises, such as economic downturns, to secret action outgroups. While conspiracy have been described reactions threats, we argue that this factor alone is not sufficient. Rather, perceiving one's ingroup unfairly deprived compared other groups (i.e., group relative deprivation) might be key explaining situation in terms secret, intentional wrongdoings. Furthermore, individuals high national...
Conspiracy beliefs are prevalent among members of disadvantaged groups. Adopting a social identity perspective, we hypothesized that these would reduce the endorsement internal attributions for inequalities could negatively affect image ingroups. In Study 1 ( n = 1,104), conspiracy mentality was associated with meritocracy beliefs, which attribute success and failure to factors. Studies 2 5 ns 179, 251, 221, 248), taking perspective person exhibiting high (vs. low) in fictitious context...
We report the first examples of amine-functionalized K2[OsII(bpy)(CN)4] (bpy = 2,2′-bipyridine) complexes. The tetracyanoosmate complexes were prepared by UV irradiation (λ 254 nm) K4[OsII(CN)6] and primary bpy ligands in acidic aqueous media. solution pH dependences spectroscopic redox properties 4,4′- 5,5′-substituted have been investigated. pendant amine functional groups coordinated cyanide are basic sites that can be sequentially protonated, thereby allowing systematic tuning...
