Afterward, were Giver Keeper characters encouraged reach for of their choices. found exhibited...
Research suggests that belief in conspiracy theories (CT) stems from basic psychological mechanisms and is linked to other systems (e.g., religious beliefs). While previous research has extensively examined individual contextual variables associated with CT beliefs, it not yet investigated the role of culture. In current research, we tested, based on a situated cultural cognition perspective, extent which culture predicts beliefs. Using Hofstede's model values, three nation‐level analyses...
Previous terror management theory research has shown that mortality salience (MS; a death reminder) leads to the derogation of those who are perceived be threats or violators one’s cultural worldview. Immigrants may viewed as such threat, but not necessarily all majority group members culture. The studies presented here tested hypothesis that, depending upon nature participants’ worldview, MS would either increase decrease liking an immigrant. After being reminded their control topic, French...
Abstract The different definitions of creativity that have been proposed by researchers developed out what are called explicit theories creativity, on the basis logical and semantic arguments, independently empirical data. present paper focuses two such definitions, standard definition (M.A. Runco & G.J. Jaeger, 2012), which defines a creative product as one is novel valuable, R.W. Weisberg’s (2015, 2018) intentional novelty (IN) definition, produced intentionally. Those make predictions...
SUMMARY Previous research suggests that unfounded beliefs (UB)—such as conspiracist and in the supernatural—stem from similar cognitive motivational mechanisms. More specifically, it has been demonstrated ability is negatively associated with UB but only among individuals who value epistemic rationality. The present study goes beyond previous correlational studies by examining whether negative association between can be strengthened through a subtle rationality prime. In large scale online...
We validate, extend, and empirically theoretically criticize the cultural dimension of humane orientation project GLOBE (Global Leadership Organizational Behavior Effectiveness Research Program). Theoretically, is not just a one-dimensionally positive concept about being caring, altruistic, kind to others as discussed by Kabasakal Bodur (2004), but there also certain ambivalence this concept. suggest differentiating toward in-group members from out-group members. A multicountry construct...

In that sense, conspiracy creative productions similar to other involving such as poems, films, or However, contrary these regularly studied in the field of creativity, remain unexplored this field. The present contribution proposes consider narratives products. We discuss extent which meet criteria standard definition creativity and how their negative individual societal consequences place dark side . argue new...
In scientific research on creativity, there has been considerable debate concerning the criteria by which a production can be judged more or less creative, that is, about definition of creativity. The most frequent – standard incorporates novelty and value. However, other definitions, based single criterion than two criteria, have also proposed. Much discussion this issue semantic analysis, logical analysis concepts involved usefulness various proposed criteria. article, question necessary...
Abstract Psychological research suggests that violent extremism (e.g., terrorism) stems partly from existential motives, such as individuals’ need to achieve significance in life after experiencing failure, ostracism, or humiliation (Significance Quest Theory; SQT). Parallel investigations sociology and criminology established similar findings by linking anomia—a syndrome including feelings of meaninglessness, powerlessness, isolation, self‐estrangement, normlessness—with behavior. In line...
Abstract In France, laïcité is a legal principle enforcing State secularism. However, research indicates that Modern (vs. traditional) beliefs about (ML) help legitimate prejudice against minorities. From Social Identity Theory, we hypothesized ML should be positively linked with national identification, stereotyping, and support for discrimination. Accordingly, demonstrate independently predicts discriminatory policies (Study 1a, N = 241) Maghrebi IAT scores 1b, 242). mediates the link...
Suicide continues to be a major public health issue, especially in the United States. It is well-established fact that depression and suicidal ideation are risk factors for suicide. Drawing on recent research shows absolutist words (e.g., “completely,” “totally”) constitute linguistic markers of ideation, we created an online index thinking (ATI) using search query data (i.e., Google Trends time series). Mixed-model analyses age-adjusted suicide rates States from 2004 2017 revealed ATI...
Collective action is a key driver of social and political change within societies. So far, the main factor mobilizing individuals into collective remains extent to which they feel identified with protesting group (i.e., identification). Although link between identification well-established, current evidence relies mostly on self-report data. To tackle this issue, we combined real-life protest counts in United States (2017–2020) online search data (Google Trends) for pronouns indicating...

ABSTRACT The term “creative” is commonly used in everyday language and academic discourse to discuss the nature of artistic innovative productions. This usage inherently implies existence a variable creativity that allows different creative works be compared. standard definition asserts production must possess both value novelty order considered truly creative. However, previous psychometric studies aimed at establishing such based on these two dimensions have produced results seem...
Conservative ideology is closely linked with pathogen prevalence, and adherence to conservative values increases under threat. To this day, few studies have demonstrated effect using ecological data. For the first time, we analyse results from an election (the 2020 French local election) which was held during growing COVID-19 spread in country. Using mixed modelling on county-level data (N = 96), show that perceived threat (search volume indices) but not real (prevalence rates) prior are...
Abstract The assessment of population mental health relies on survey data from representative samples, which come with considerable costs. Drawing research established that absolutist words (e.g. never) are semantic markers for depression, we propose a new measure based the frequency in online search (absolute thinking index; ATI). Our aims were to first validate ATI, and use it model public dynamics France UK during current COVID-19 pandemic. To do so, extracted time series validated...

Our objective was to explore the relationships between adult attachment and various aspects of emotional awareness, including alexithymia level awareness. Participants were 112 university students who completed Attachment Style Questionnaire, Bermond–Vorst Alexithymia Questionnaire (BVAQ), Level Emotional Awareness Scale. We found that positively related avoidant style negatively with anxious style. Anxious style-but not avoidance-was also An analysis four categories revealed subtle...
Abstract The prevalence of unfounded beliefs (e.g., supernatural or conspiracy beliefs) remains an important issue due to their negative consequences in various domains. Interventions were shown reduce only when addressing pseudoscientific ones. Based on these findings, we designed a single session intervention aiming teach participants the epistemological distinction between science and pseudoscience. We then assessed effectiveness this intervention. Secondary school teachers ( N = 130)...
