Changing collective behaviour and supporting non-pharmaceutical interventions is an important component in mitigating virus transmission during a pandemic.

Previous research posits that people intuitively favor over male bots, mainly because bots are judged warmer more likely to experience emotions. We present five online studies, including four preregistered, a total sample of 3,000 participants go beyond this longstanding perception femininity. Because warmth (but not competence) seen...

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,...

Advertisements often display ideal female bodies which create unattainable standards of beauty, generating body anxiety and disorders in viewers. Accordingly, public health concerns would encourage the use natural, unedited models advertisements. However, advertising performance natural remains contentious. We argue that previous inconsistent findings about this may result from a complex causal framework impact through two affective mediators (body anxiety, repulsion toward model), while...
L’objectif de cet article est d’expliquer et d’illustrer la démarche méthodologique qu’il convient suivre pour tester les effets dits médiation modérée (effets indirects conditionnels) en marketing. Un effet désigne présence, dans un même modèle, d’une ou plusieurs variables médiatrices modératrices. Après avoir décrit principales approches méthodologiques permettant mettant l’accent sur leurs avantages inconvénients respectifs, nous préconisons méthode Hayes (2013a, 2013b), que illustrons à...
