What Drives Tolerance? Investigating Integration Models and Minority Engagement
The present research examines the role of different integration models on tolerance based on coexistence versus respect and the willingness of the majority group to engage in intergroup contact with French individuals of Maghrebi origin. We conducted two studies amongst French majority group members, one correlational (Study 1; N = 320) and one experimental (Study 2; N = 445). Results from Study 1 indicated that multiculturalism and intercultural…
Beyond boundaries: Interculturalism, tolerance, and the promotion of positive intergroup attitudes toward muslims in France
Put a Little Love in Your Heart: Acceptance of Paternalistic and Ally Political Discourses Both Predict Pro‐Roma Solidarity Intentions Through Moral Inclusion
The way politicians talk about minorities institutes the normative context of intergroup relations. We investigated how endorsement of different political discourses predicts donation and collective action intentions by majority members toward the Roma in five European countries. The survey was conducted online using samples demographically similar to the populations of Hungary, Slovakia, Romania, France, and Ireland (N = 5,054). First, results s…
National identification, a social cure for Covid-19? Evidence from 67 countries
BACKGROUND: Social distancing and mass quarantines were implemented worldwide in response to the current COVID-19 pandemic. Prior research has shown that such measures bear negative consequences for population mental health and well-being. Conversely, a growing body of evidence suggests that feeling positively identified with a group is associated with physical and mental health benefits. AIMS: This study tested whether national identification co…
Return of the repressed”: Exposure to police violence increases protest and self-sacrifice intentions for the Yellow Vests
Worldwide, it is not uncommon to observe violent police reactions against social movements. These are often rationalized by decision makers as efficient ways to contain violence from protesters. In France for instance, the ongoing Yellow Vests protests have generated an unprecedented number of casualties, injuries, and convictions among protesters. But was this response efficient in diminishing violence stemming from the Yellow Vests? To this day…
Macron demission!”: Loss of significance generates violent extremism for the Yellow Vests through feelings of anomia
After over 2 months of demonstration, 12 casualties, 3,142 people injured, and more than 5,000 people in custody, the question of why the Yellow Vest (YV) protests turned so violent remains. In line with a significance quest perspective on violent extremism (Kruglanski & Orehek, 2011), the present contribution assessed whether the motivation to restore a sense of control and purpose could explain why French citizens engage in violent YV extremism…
Positive associations between anomia and intentions to engage in political violence: Cross-cultural evidence from four countries
Politically motivated violence stems from various psychological motives such as the need to restore \nsignificance, meaning or control in one’s life. Here, we demonstrate for the first time that anomia, \na generalized feeling of being meaningless, powerless, isolated and alienated is linked with intentions \nto engage in political violence across cultures and political ideologies. Anomia may therefore \nconstitute a single unifying psychological…
Multiculturalism and Attitudes Toward Immigrants: The Impact of Perceived Cultural Distance
Multiculturalism can be construed in different ways with different effects on majority members' attitudes toward immigrant-origin groups. Thinking about why the broad goals of multiculturalism are important for society might reduce feelings of outgroup threat and less prejudicial attitudes. In contrast, thinking about how exactly these goals can be accomplished might evoke feelings of threat that lead to prejudice. The aim of this experimental re…
