  • Conspiracy Theories and Online Dating

    Open Access•Ricky Green, Lea C Kamitz et al.•ARTICLE•Personality and Social Psychology…•2026

    Conspiracy beliefs can harm interpersonal relationships, but their impact on future relationships remains underexplored. Across four preregistered experiments ( N = 1,603), we examined how sharing conspiracy theories in online dating profiles affects interpersonal impressions and intentions to start relationships, and whether these outcomes depend on perceivers’ political orientation. Experiments 1a and 1b revealed that profiles including right-w…

  • Gender inequality and cultural values in explaining gender differences in positive and negative emotions

    Open Access•Robin Wollast, Adrian Lüders et al.•ARTICLE•Current Psychology•2025

    The coronavirus pandemic posed a major challenge to mental health. Existing evidence shows that COVID-19 is related to poor emotional well-being, particularly among women. However, most work on the subject uses single-country samples, limiting the ability to generalize the disparity or explain it as a function of societal variables. The present study investigates the expression of positive and negative emotions during the pandemic as a function o…

  • Denialist vs. warmist climate change conspiracy beliefs

    Open Access•Dylan De Gourville, Karen M Douglas et al.•ARTICLE•British Journal of Psychology•2025

    In the current research, we use network analysis to examine the structure, ideological foundations and correlates of climate change conspiracy theories, distinguishing between denialist and warmist beliefs. Denialist beliefs, typically endorsed on the political right, claim that climate change is exaggerated, whereas warmist beliefs, more prevalent on the left, allege the suppression of climate science and the downplaying of climate change. Acros…

  • Belief in a just world for the self and others, Karma, system justification and well‐being during Covid ‐19 pandemic

    Open Access•Phatthanakit Chobthamkit, Robbie M Sutton et al.•ARTICLE•Asian Journal Of Social Psychology•2025

    The World Health Organization (World Health Organization, 2020) announced the COVID‐19 outbreak as a pandemic. Globally, this situation affects people in various domains including mental health. Existing theories and research findings suggest justice beliefs are associated with mental health and may help to cope with adverse life circumstances. Participants ( N = 3694) in 15 Asian nations completed measures of belief in a just world (BJW), Karma,…

  • Fighting fire with fire

    Open Access•Mikey Biddlestone, Ricky Green et al.•ARTICLE•British Journal of Psychology•2025•Referencias: 71

    Prebunking can be used to pre‐emptively refute conspiracy narratives. We developed a new approach to prebunking – fighting fire with fire – which introduces a plausible ‘meta‐conspiracy’ suggesting that conspiracy theories are deliberately spread as part of a wider conspiracy. In two preregistered intervention studies, prebunking specific COVID‐19 vaccine (Study 1, N = 720) and climate change (Study 2, N = 1077) conspiracy theories (e.g. that cli…

  • Personal Relative Deprivation and Locus of Control

    Open Access•Mitchell J Callan, Robbie M Sutton et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality•2025•Citada por: 1•Referencias: 88

    OBJECTIVE: We investigated the relationship between personal relative deprivation (PRD)-resentment from the belief that one is worse off than people who are similar to oneself-and locus of control. BACKGROUND: Research has yet to comprehensively investigate whether PRD is associated with a tendency to favor external (vs. internal) explanations for self- and other-relevant outcomes. METHOD: = 6729) employed cross-sectional, experimental, and (micr…

  • A threat-complexity hypothesis of conspiracy thinking during the Covid-19 pandemic

    Open Access•Gennaro Pica, N Pontus Leander et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Social and Personal…•2025•Citada por: 1•Referencias: 56

    One way to cope with crises is by attributing their ultimate causes to malevolent conspiracies. As crises are rarely simple, and may involve an interplay between multiple, co-occurring threats, we suggest that conspiracy thinking mainly occurs among individuals who experience conditions of threat complexity - such as socioeconomic vulnerability paired with a sense of helplessness in society, and who are also sufficiently paranoid to infer a consp…

  • Engaging with Conspiracy Believers

    Open Access•Karen M Douglas, Robbie M Sutton et al.•ARTICLE•Review of Philosophy and Psychology•2024

    Conspiracy theories abound in social and political discourse, believed by millions of people around the world. In this article, we highlight when it is important to engage with people who believe in conspiracy theories and review recent literature highlighting how best to do so. We first summarise research on the potentially damaging consequences of conspiracy beliefs for individuals, including consequences related to psychopathology. We also foc…

  • Opposing Misperceptions of Wealth

    Open Access•Kieren J Lilly, Rael J Dawtry et al.•ARTICLE•Social Psychological and…•2024

    Although perceptions of wealth are shaped by people’s social environment and ideological beliefs, few studies integrate these two perspectives. We address this oversight by examining the association between participants’ actual and estimated average neighborhood household income and whether political orientation moderates this relationship. Using a large, nationwide random sample of New Zealand adults ( N = 14,853), our results reveal that both l…

  • Punishing Women for Miscarriage

    Open Access•Jocelyn Chalmers, Leif Woodford et al.•ARTICLE•Sex Roles•2024•Referencias: 13

    Women’s reproductive autonomy is an ideologically divisive issue, and this divisiveness goes beyond just attitudes toward abortion to include other outcomes such as miscarriage. Previous research has established that hostile sexism is positively associated with punitive attitudes toward pregnant women who flout conventional pregnancy proscriptions. Across three studies ( N 1 = 296; N 2 = 580, N 3 = 308) we conceptually replicated this research wh…

  • What Are Conspiracy Theories? A Definitional Approach to Their Correlates, Consequences, and Communication

    Open Access•Karen M Douglas, Robbie M Sutton•ARTICLE•Annual Review of Psychology•2023

    Conspiracy theories are abundant in social and political discourse, with serious consequences for individuals, groups, and societies. However, psychological scientists have started paying close attention to them only in the past 20 years. We review the spectacular progress that has since been made and some of the limitations of research so far, and we consider the prospects for further progress. To this end, we take a step back to analyze the def…

  • Intentions to be Vaccinated Against Covid-19

    Violeta Enea, Nikolett Eisenbeck et al.•ARTICLE•Health Communication•2023

    Understanding the determinants of COVID-19 vaccine uptake is important to inform policy decisions and plan vaccination campaigns. The aims of this research were to: (1) explore the individual- and country-level determinants of intentions to be vaccinated against SARS-CoV-2, and (2) examine worldwide variation in vaccination intentions. This cross-sectional online survey was conducted during the first wave of the pandemic, involving 6697 responden…

  • Changing minds about minds

    Open Access•Stefan Leach, Robbie M Sutton et al.•ARTICLE•Cognition•2023

    Our relationships with other animals are governed by how we view their capacity for sentience and suffering. However, there is currently little agreement as to whether people's beliefs about animal minds are largely accurate or inaccurate. We used an innovative task to examine how people update their beliefs in response to noisy but informative clues about animal minds. This allowed us to compare participants' posterior beliefs to what a normativ…

  • The Social Science of QAnon

    Open Access•Michael K Miller, Joseph M Pierre et al.•BOOK•The Social Science of QAnon•2023

    QAnon has emerged as the defining conspiracy group of our times, and its far-right conspiracies are extraordinary for their breadth and extremity. Bringing together scholars from psychology, sociology, communications, and political science, this cutting-edge volume uses social science theory to investigate aspects of QAnon. Following an introduction to the 'who, what, and why' of QAnon, Part I focuses on the psychological characteristics of QAnon…

  • Pandemic boredom

    Erin C Westgate, Nicholas Buttrick et al.•ARTICLE•Emotion•2023

    Some public officials have expressed concern that policies mandating collective public health behaviors (e.g., national/regional "lockdown") may result in behavioral fatigue that ultimately renders such policies ineffective. Boredom, specifically, has been singled out as one potential risk factor for noncompliance. We examined whether there was empirical evidence to support this concern during the COVID-19 pandemic in a large cross-national sampl…

  • The Misandry Myth

    Open Access•Aife Hopkins-Doyle, Aino Petterson et al.•ARTICLE•Psychology of Women Quarterly•2023•Citada por: 3•Referencias: 26

    In six studies, we examined the accuracy and underpinnings of the damaging stereotype that feminists harbor negative attitudes toward men. In Study 1 ( n = 1,664), feminist and nonfeminist women displayed similarly positive attitudes toward men. Study 2 ( n = 3,892) replicated these results in non-WEIRD countries and among male participants. Study 3 ( n = 198) extended them to implicit attitudes. Investigating the mechanisms underlying feminists’…

  • Identifying important individual‐ and country‐level predictors of conspiracy theorizing

    Open Access•Karen M Douglas, Robbie M Sutton et al.•ARTICLE•European Journal of Social…•2023•Citada por: 3•Referencias: 50

    Psychological research on the predictors of conspiracy theorizing—explaining important social and political events or circumstances as secret plots by malevolent groups—has flourished in recent years. However, research has typically examined only a small number of predictors in one, or a small number of, national contexts. Such approaches make it difficult to examine the relative importance of predictors, and risk overlooking some potentially rel…

  • The Rights of Man

    Open Access•Jocelyn Chalmers, Aino Petterson et al.•ARTICLE•Political Psychology•2023•Citada por: 2•Referencias: 34

    Libertarianism enshrines individual autonomy as its central political principle, but it has been criticized for applying this principle selectively. Reproductive decisions can stress the concept of individual autonomy by placing into conflict the claimed rights of each biological parent to choose. Two studies (N1 = 296; N2 = 580) show that among U.S. participants, libertarianism is associated with opposition to women's reproductive autonomy and s…

  • Lockdown Lives

    Open Access•Jolien van Breen, Maja Kutlaca et al.•ARTICLE•Personality and Social Psychology…•2022

    We examine how social contacts and feelings of solidarity shape experiences of loneliness during the COVID-19 lockdown in early 2020. From the PsyCorona database, we obtained longitudinal data from 23 countries, collected between March and May 2020. The results demonstrated that although online contacts help to reduce feelings of loneliness, people who feel more lonely are less likely to use that strategy. Solidarity played only a small role in s…

  • Science Skepticism Across 24 Countries

    Open Access•Bastiaan T Rutjens, Nikhil Kumar Sengupta et al.•ARTICLE•Social Psychological and…•2022

    Efforts to understand and remedy the rejection of science are impeded by lack of insight into how it varies in degree and in kind around the world. The current work investigates science skepticism in 24 countries ( N = 5,973). Results show that while some countries stand out as generally high or low in skepticism, predictors of science skepticism are relatively similar across countries. One notable effect was consistent across countries though st…

  • Toeing the party line

    Open Access•Karen M Douglas, Robbie M Sutton•ARTICLE•Journal of Social and Political…•2022•Citada por: 3•Referencias: 7

    Polling data indicate that in the USA, Republicans, compared to Democrats, have been less inclined to take preventive measures against coronavirus. In three studies (Ns = 380, 430, and 393), we sought to find evidence for partisan motivations and to illuminate how they translate into attitudes, behavioral intentions and actual behaviors. Results revealed a consensus that the Democratic party wants people take coronavirus seriously. Thus, while De…

  • Making an impression

    Open Access•Ricky Green, Daniel Toribio-Florez et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Experimental Social…•2022•Citada por: 4•Referencias: 44

    Conspiracy theories are widely viewed as stigmatized beliefs, and it is often assumed that sharing them will therefore have negative reputational consequences for individuals. In six experiments (two pre-registered), we examined how sharing conspiracy theories can have important consequences for both impression-management and impression-formation. Experiment 1 (N = 354) highlighted people's awareness of an impression-management strategy in sharin…

  • Understanding Conspiracy Theories

    Open Access•Karen M Douglas, Joseph E Uscinski et al.•ARTICLE•Political Psychology•2019•Citada por: 357•Referencias: 48

    Scholarly efforts to understand conspiracy theories have grown significantly in recent years, and there is now a broad and interdisciplinary literature. In reviewing this body of work, we ask three specific questions. First, what factors are associated with conspiracy beliefs? Our review of the literature shows that conspiracy beliefs result from a range of psychological, political, and social factors. Next, how are conspiracy theories communicat…

  • Abortion Attitudes

    Open Access•Douglas Osborne, Yanshu Huang et al.•ARTICLE•Political Psychology•2022•Citada por: 52•Referencias: 165

    Despite being a defining issue in the culture war, the political psychology of abortion attitudes remains poorly understood. We address this oversight by reviewing existing literature and integrating new analyses of several large‐scale, cross‐sectional, and longitudinal datasets to identify the demographic and ideological correlates of abortion attitudes. Our review and new analyses indicate that abortion support is increasing modestly over time …

  • Gender, Socially Desirable Responding and the Fear of Crime

    Robbie M Sutton•ARTICLE•The British Journal of Criminology•2004•Citada por: 41

    In this article, the authors use survey data to explore relationships between gender, fear of crime and socially desirable responding. The data show that for men, but not women, reported fear levels are inversely related to scores on a so-called 'lie scale', which measures the tendency to provide socially desirable rather than totally candid responses. This pattern holds irrespective of age and suggests that the genders are affected differently b…

  • Blaming a Few Bad Apples to Save a Threatened Barrel

    Open Access•Daniel Jolley, Karen M Douglas et al.•ARTICLE•Political Psychology•2018•Citada por: 35•Referencias: 51

    This research demonstrates that conspiracy theories—often represented as subversive alternatives to establishment narratives—may bolster, rather than undermine, support for the social status quo when its legitimacy is under threat. A pilot study (N = 98) found a positive relationship between conspiracy belief and satisfaction with the status quo. In Study 1 (N = 120), threatening (vs. affirming) the status quo in British society caused participan…

  • Effects of communication goals and expectancies on language abstraction

    Karen M Douglas, Robbie M Sutton•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality and Social…•2003•Citada por: 32•Referencias: 11

    Language abstraction is an important aspect of the description of behavioral events (G.R. Semin & K. Fiedler, 1988) that is typically viewed as a medium by which describers transmit beliefs without conscious awareness or control. Complementary to this view, the authors propose that language abstraction may also be influenced by explicit communication goals such as aggrandizement or derogation, allowing describers to express beliefs that they do n…

  • Investigating the Links Between Cultural Values and Belief in Conspiracy Theories

    Open Access•Jais Adam‐troian, Pascal Wagner‐egger et al.•ARTICLE•Political Psychology•2021•Citada por: 26•Referencias: 71

    Research suggests that belief in conspiracy theories (CT) stems from basic psychological mechanisms and is linked to other belief systems (e.g., religious beliefs). While previous research has extensively examined individual and contextual variables associated with CT beliefs, it has not yet investigated the role of culture. In the current research, we tested, based on a situated cultural cognition perspective, the extent to which culture predict…

    Criticism is an important aspect of communication within and between groups, but reactions to criticism of groups have been little studied. Past research has shown that criticism elicits greater sensitivity when made by an outgroup member, compared to an ingroup member. Two experiments were conducted to examine how this intergroup sensitivity effect (ISE) is affected by the context of the criticism. Experiment 1 showed that the ISE occurs in a pr…

    We examined the link between political engagement and the tendency to justify the sociopolitical system. On one hand, confidence in the system should be negatively related to political engagement, insofar as it entails reduced desire for social change; on the other hand, system confidence should also be positively related to political engagement to the extent that it carries an assumption that the system is responsive to citizens' political effor…

  • Sexist Ideology and Endorsement of Men’s Control Over Women’s Decisions in Reproductive Health

    Open Access•Aino Petterson, Robbie M Sutton•ARTICLE•Psychology of Women Quarterly•2017•Citada por: 13•Referencias: 9

    Feminist scholars have argued that men’s control over women’s reproductive autonomy is a central feature of male dominance. Building on recent research that shows sexist ideology informs support for restricting women’s reproductive autonomy, we examined the relation of sexism and the belief that men should be able to restrict the behavior of women. Study 1 ( N = 366 undergraduate psychology students in the United Kingdom) and Study 2 ( N = 281 Am…

  • Dehumanization and Social Class

    Steve Loughnan, Nick Haslam et al.•ARTICLE•Social Psychology•2014•Citada por: 12•Referencias: 29

    Three studies examined whether animality is a component of low-SES stereotypes. In Study 1a-c, the content of "white trash" (USA), "chav" (UK), and "bogan" (Australia) stereotypes was found to be highly consistent, and in every culture it correlated positively with the stereotype content of apes. In Studies 2a and 2b, a within-subjects approach replicated this effect and revealed that it did not rely on derogatory labels or was reducible to ingro…

    Open Access•Reine C Van Der Wal, Robbie M Sutton et al.•ARTICLE•European Journal of Social…•2018•Citada por: 11•Referencias: 56

    Previous research indicates that conspiracy thinking is informed by the psychological imposition of order and meaning on the environment, including the perception of causal relations between random events. Four studies indicate that conspiracy belief is driven by readiness to draw implausible causal connections even when events are not random, but instead conform to an objective pattern. Study 1 ( N = 195) showed that conspiracy belief was relate…

    Open Access•Karen M Douglas, Robbie M Sutton•ARTICLE•European Journal of Social…•2010•Citada por: 10•Referencias: 1

    According to the linguistic category model (LCM), behaviour can be described at concrete (e.g. ‘Kath hit Kim’) and abstract (e.g. ‘Kath is aggressive ’) levels. Variations in these levels convey information about the person being described and the relationship between that person and the describer. In the current research, we examined the power of language abstraction to create impressions of describers themselves. Results show that describers ar…

    People are considerably more defensive in the face of group criticism when the criticism comes from an out-group rather than an in-group member (the intergroup sensitivity effect). We tested three strategies that out-group critics can use to reduce this heightened defensiveness. In all studies, Australians received criticism of their country either from another Australian or from a foreigner. In Experiment 1, critics who attached praise to the cr…

  • When is it wrong to eat animals? The relevance of different animal traits and behaviours

    Open Access•Stefan Leach, Robbie M Sutton et al.•ARTICLE•European Journal of Social…•2021•Citada por: 8•Referencias: 25

    Research suggests that animals’ capacity for agency, experience, and benevolence predict beliefs about their moral treatment. Four studies built on this work by examining how fine‐grained information about animals’ traits and behaviours (e.g., can store food for later vs. can use tools) shifted moral beliefs about eating and harming animals. The information that most strongly affected moral beliefs was related to secondary emotions (e.g., can fee…

    Perceptions of warmth play a central role in social cognition. Seven studies use observational, correlational, and experimental methods to examine its role in concealing the functions of benevolent sexism (BS). Together, Studies 1 (n = 297), 2 (n = 252), and 3 (n = 219) indicated that although women recall experiencing benevolent (vs. hostile) sexism more often, they protest it less often, because they see it as warm. In Studies 4 (n = 296) and 5…

  • "A Giant Leap for Mankind" But What About Women? The Role of System-Justifying Ideologies in Predicting Attitudes Toward Sexist Language

    Open Access•Karen M Douglas, Robbie M Sutton•ARTICLE•Journal of Language and Social…•2014•Citada por: 8•Referencias: 45

    Sexist language excludes, trivializes, or diminishes either gender. Despite efforts by many professional bodies to encourage the use of nonsexist alternatives, sexist language use persists across many languages. Furthermore, research has shown that men are less supportive of nonsexist language alternatives than women, and that this effect is mediated by attitudes toward women. We propose that broader ideologies related to the perceived legitimacy…

Undergraduate women ( N = 116) were randomly assigned to a condition in which they unscrambled sentences containing words associated with sexual objectification, non-self-objectifying physicality, or neutral content. Following a manipulation check of these primes, participants reported their body shame and intentions to have co…

    Three experiments that examine communicators' ability to inhibit linguistic bias are reported. Research has shown that communicators use more abstract language (e.g., "Jamie is affectionate" vs. "Jamie kisses Rose") to describe more expected behavior. Recent research has shown that this bias may be overwhelmed by goals to put a "spin" on actions or to manipulate audiences' impressions of actors. Similarly, the present experiments show that people…

    Increasing economic inequality adversely affects groups with low socioeconomic status (low-SES). However, many people are opposed to wealth redistribution policies. In this context, we examined whether dehumanization of low-SES groups has a role in this opposition. In the first study ( N = 303), opposition to wealth redistribution was related to denying human uniqueness (e.g., intelligence and rationality) and having negative attitudes toward low…

    Covariational and goal-based approaches to social attribution have been treated as competitive or incommensurable. This article integrates key aspects of each approach. Four studies examined preferences for motivating factors (or goals) and enabling factors (or preconditions) as explanations of intentional actions. The studies manipulated (Studies 1-3) and measured (Study 4) the perceived covariation of these goal-based causes with target actions…

    Two studies examined lay people's understanding of goals and intentional actions, which are key concepts in folk psychology. The studies show how predictions of goals and actions are affected by actors' beliefs about their abilities and their actual possession of the preconditions required for the actions. In some conditions, the beliefs and the preconditions were contradictory. Actors' beliefs about their abilities shaped observers' goal ascript…

    The third‐person effect (TPE) is the tendency for individuals to assume that persuasive communications have a stronger effect on other people than on themselves. In turn the social distance effect (SDE) is the tendency for this TPE to increase with the psychological distance between self and comparator. Two experiments showed that the SDE is moderated by whether the message favours the ingroup or the outgroup, holding all other content constant. …

    Recent research distinguishes the belief in a just‐world for the self (BJW‐self) from that for others (BJW‐others), showing BJW‐self to be associated with subjective well‐being and BJW‐others to be associated with harsh social attitudes. The present research examines the implications of these two types of just‐world belief for aspects of motivation and ideation about the future.

    Four experiments investigated judgments about voluntary human actions and physical causes that were embedded in causal chains ending in negative outcomes (e.g., a forest fire). Causes were judged for their explanatory quality, their effect on the probability of the outcome, and the extent to which they could be socially controlled. Results supported legal theorists' claim that voluntary actions are judged better explanations than physical causes.…

    The present studies examine why people think the world is more just to themselves than to others generally. Beliefs in justice for the self were uniquely associated with psychological adjustment, consistent with the theoretical motive to believe in justice for the self (Studies 1 and 2). However, this “justice motive” did not appear to affect the relative strength of justice beliefs. Instead, self–other differences in justice beliefs appeared to …

Research has shown that communicators use more abstract language (e.g., "Jamie is affectionate" vs. "Jamie kisses Rose") to describe more expected behavior. Recent research has shown that this bias may be overwhelmed by goals to put a "spin" on actions or to manipulate audiences' impressions of actors. Similarly, the present experiments show that people…

  • Celebrating Two Decades of Linguistic Bias Research

    Open Access•Robbie M Sutton, Karen M Douglas•ARTICLE•Journal of Language and Social…•2008•Citada por: 2•Referencias: 15

    The authors introduce a special issue of the Journal of Language and Social Psychology on linguistic bias, celebrating two decades of research since G. R. Semin and K. Fiedler (1988) first published the linguistic category model (LCM). The LCM has been highly cited and generative and provides a parsimonious framework for investigations of the role of language in social-psychological phenomena. Indeed, the articles in this issue are notable for ad…

  • Sugaring the Pill

    Open Access•Matthew J Hornsey, Erin Robson et al.•ARTICLE•Human Communication Research•2008•Citada por: 9•Referencias: 44

    People are considerably more defensive in the face of group criticism when the criticism comes from an out-group rather than an in-group member (the intergroup sensitivity effect). We tested three strategies that out-group critics can use to reduce this heightened defensiveness. In all studies, Australians received criticism of their country either from another Australian or from a foreigner. In Experiment 1, critics who attached praise to the cr…

    According to the linguistic category model (LCM), behaviour can be described at concrete (e.g. ‘Kath hit Kim’) and abstract (e.g. ‘Kath is aggressive ’) levels. Variations in these levels convey information about the person being described and the relationship between that person and the describer. In the current research, we examined the power of language abstraction to create impressions of describers themselves. Results show that describers ar…

  • Selecting explanations from causal chains

    Open Access•Denis Hilton, Denis J Hilton et al.•ARTICLE•European Journal of Social…•2010•Citada por: 3•Referencias: 39

    We investigate whether people prefer voluntary causes to physical causes in unfolding causal chains and whether statistical (covariation, sufficiency) principles can predict how people select explanations. Experiment 1 shows that while people tend to prefer a proximal (more recent) cause in chains of unfolding physical events, causality is traced through the proximal cause to an underlying distal (less recent) cause when that cause is a human act…

  • Does it take one to know one? Endorsement of conspiracy theories is influenced by personal willingness to conspire

    Open Access•Karen M Douglas, Robbie M Sutton•ARTICLE•British Journal of Social…•2011

    We advance a new account of why people endorse conspiracy theories, arguing that individuals use the social–cognitive tool of projection when making social judgements about others. In two studies, we found that individuals were more likely to endorse conspiracy theories if they thought they would be willing, personally, to participate in the alleged conspiracies. Study 1 established an association between conspiracy beliefs and personal willingne…

  • Constructive or cruel? Positive or patronizing? Reactions to expressions of positive and negative stereotypes of the mentally ill

    Open Access•Karen M Douglas, Robbie M Sutton•ARTICLE•British Journal of Psychology•2011•Referencias: 27

    Previous research has shown that people respond with greater sensitivity to negative stereotypical comments about a group that are made from someone outside the group in question than from someone who belongs to the group. In this paper, we investigated if the same effect occurs in response to comments made about stigmatized groups. Specifically, we examined how people react to comments made about the mentally ill. The conditions under which peop…

  • Dead and Alive

    Open Access•Michael J Wood, Karen M Douglas et al.•ARTICLE•Social Psychological and…•2012

    Conspiracy theories can form a monological belief system: A self-sustaining worldview comprised of a network of mutually supportive beliefs. The present research shows that even mutually incompatible conspiracy theories are positively correlated in endorsement. In Study 1 ( n = 137), the more participants believed that Princess Diana faked her own death, the more they believed that she was murdered. In Study 2 ( n = 102), the more participants be…

  • A Stereotype Threat Account of Boys' Academic Underachievement

    Open Access•Bonny L Hartley, Robbie M Sutton•ARTICLE•Child Development•2013

    Three studies examined the role of stereotype threat in boys' academic underachievement. Study 1 (children aged 4–10, n = 238) showed that girls from age 4 years and boys from age 7 years believed, and thought adults believed, that boys are academically inferior to girls. Study 2 manipulated stereotype threat, informing children aged 7–8 years (n = 162) that boys tend to do worse than girls at school. This manipulation hindered boys' performance …

    We examined whether subtle exposure to sexually objectifying cues increases women’s intentions to have cosmetic surgery. Undergraduate women ( N = 116) were randomly assigned to a condition in which they unscrambled sentences containing words associated with sexual objectification, non-self-objectifying physicality, or neutral content. Following a manipulation check of these primes, participants reported their body shame and intentions to have co…
