The role of partisan news and political parasocial relationships in shaping meta‐perceptions: Cross‐national evidence
Communities worldwide face growing polarization, often fueled by misperceptions. Across three studies, we investigate the relationship between partisan news media exposure and meta‐(mis)perceptions (e.g., meta‐prejudice, meta‐dehumanization) in the United States and Israel. We also examine whether this relationship is moderated by political and religious affiliation, and whether partisan news media exposure is associated with meta‐perceptions thr…
Increasing Perceived Outgroup Heterogeneity Following Exposure to Extreme Violence: An Intervention Tournament in Times of War
Exposure to political violence often drives individuals toward extreme attitudes and greater support for retaliatory policies, including heightened perceptions of outgroup homogeneity. In violent intergroup conflicts, such perceptions can be especially dangerous, as they may justify indiscriminate violence against the outgroup. The current research aims to address Jewish Israelis’ perceptions of Palestinians’ variability following the October 7 H…
Poverty, piety, and pride”: The acceptance of poverty in the American Ultraorthodox Jewish community
In the present study, we delved into the personal and societal impacts of poverty in the low-income Ultraorthodox Jewish communities of Williamsburg, Borough Park, Lakewood, and Passaic along the East Coast of the United States. Based on 44 interviews with individuals who live in poverty, three main themes were found. The first revolved around issues of identity unique to Ultraorthodox society, characterized by deliberate segregation, the preserv…
Community Shades of Green: An Evaluation of Israeli Haredi Environmental Perspectives
The present study begins with a comprehensive review of Jewish environmental perspectives and then investigates environmental consciousness and identity within Israel’s Haredi communities through a novel methodological approach. Rather than following traditional categorizations of Hasidic, Sephardi, and Lithuanian sub-groups, we developed a modern-Ultra conservative continuum to examine these communities’ engagement with secular society. Through …
Environmental taxation triggers persistent psychological resistance to climate policy
Environmental taxation is often lauded as an effective tool for changing consumer behavior, but it can also trigger substantial psychological resistance, especially among disproportionately affected groups, such as the Jewish ultra-Orthodox (Haredi) community, potentially creating a broad anti-environmental backlash. In the current study we provide novel empirical evidence for the psychological mechanisms that can drive such reactance and its pot…
Powerful victims: A dynamic approach to competitive victimhood between high- and low-power groups
Competitive victimhood has significant implications for intergroup attitudes, including discrimination and hostility. The current two studies reveal the dynamic and context-dependent nature of competitive victimhood. We directly and simultaneously compared competitive victimhood among members of two groups: high-power and low-power. In Study 1, we found that under the transient threat circumstances of COVID-19, the high-power group (secular Israe…

Capabilities and Universalism – An Empirical Examination: The Case of the Ultra-Orthodox Community
Can the existing capabilities lists be said to be universal? This question was examined using in-depth interviews of ultra-Orthodox Jews in Israel based on the assumption that a community whose norms and practices are subject to strict rules and to the authority of texts would have a different notion of the most fundamental capabilities than a secular community. The results suggest that while some capabilities on the existing lists were viewed as…
God, sex, and money among the ultra-Orthodox in Israel: An integrated sociocultural and evolutionary perspective
Poor is pious”: Distinctiveness threat increases glorification of poverty among the poor
The current study examines whether a threat to group distinctiveness motivates the poor to glorify poverty as an identity management strategy. Research shows that threat to ingroup distinctiveness can motivate people to positively differentiate their group from similar outgroups on relevant dimensions of comparison. Little is known however about whether such processes would occur also with respect to devalued group characteristics that are not re…
