Exploring Peer Influence on Adolescents' Exposure to and Engagement With Online Hate Speech
In a sample of 438 adolescents, we found that greater exposure to online hate speech was associated with higher levels of both support for and engagement in such behaviour. This relationship was mediated by perceived injunctive and descriptive norms. The mediating effect of perceived descriptive norms was amplified when participants appraised online hate speech as low in offensiveness. Findings provide insights for prevention programs
“The game would have been better for me if…”
In two studies, we investigated for the first time the content of children’s counterfactual thoughts about their own experiences. Results showed that the majority of children aged 8-13 were able to produce valid counterfactuals regarding an event that happened to them, despite not achieving an adult-level ability. Comparing counterfactual and prefactual thinking, in Study 1 we found that children showed the same temporal asymmetry previously foun…
Creativity in Schizophrenia
Recent meta-analytic work has highlighted lower creativity in schizophrenic patients as compared to control participants, but the cognitive and affective underpinnings of this difference still need to be fully understood. To this purpose, we adopted a multi-measure approach and compared a group of schizophrenic outpatients and a group of demographically-matched controls (N = 34) on the Alternative Uses Test (AUT) and the Remote Association Test (…
Cyberbullying through the lens of social influence
Extrapolating stereotypical information on sexual orientation from race categories
The current research analyzed whether race categories concerning Black and Asian men could lead to extrapolative inferences concerning the sexual orientation of these category members (i.e., ESOS, extrapolative sexual orientation stereotyping). Study 1 assessed perceived cultural-based ESOS and showed that Black men, compared to Asian men, were thought to be more heterosexual than gay men. Study 2 assessed participants’ own ESOS and showed that B…
On the Descriptive and Expressive Function of Derogatory Group Labels
By using a pseudoword paradigm, we tested whether derogatory labels (e.g., pejorative labels addressing group members) differed from category labels and general slur in their descriptive (i.e., pointing to group membership) and expressive functions (i.e., perceived offensiveness and social acceptability). Results indicated that derogatory labels were similar to category labels in their descriptive function, and had higher expressive function than…
