No need to wait for reporting − Examining learning from results-based management practices in development cooperation
With today’s shrinking budgets for development cooperation and criticism that International Development Cooperation Organizations (IDOs) often fail to use performance data to inform decision-making, it is essential to know if and how IDOs learn from their results-based management (RBM) practices. Learning is typically assumed to happen in a cyclical RBM learning loop. Learning is supposed to occur in the final stage of the loop when reporting sho…
The Effects of Assisted Return Programmes on Sustainable Reintegration: A Review
Assisted Return (AR) programmes have grown in number and size over the past decade and there is an increasing body of evidence on these programmes. However, the existing evidence has not yet been systematically synthesised. Recognising the controversy over the programmes, this article reviews the current evidence regarding the effectiveness and effects of AR programmes that aim to facilitate sustainable reintegration of return migrants. Reviewing…
Perceptions of human rights complaint mechanisms: The case of German international development cooperation
The conspiracy hoax? Testing key hypotheses about the correlates of generic beliefs in conspiracy theories during the Covid ‐19 pandemic
Conspiracy beliefs are ubiquitous in the current COVID‐19 pandemic. This may be because they directly affect own and others' health and economic outcomes due to detrimental effects on preventive behaviour. We aimed to (a) test key hypotheses on the correlates of generic beliefs in conspiracy theories in this high‐threat real‐life setting, (b) examine the role of trust in mediating effects of conspiracy beliefs on preventive behaviour, and (c) the…
Does Evidence Matter? The Impact of Evidence Regarding Aid Effectiveness on Attitudes Towards Aid
Development aid is considered an important instrument in achieving a more sustainable global future. However, the general public perceives aid as rather ineffective. This may be because the public knows little about aid and its effects. Evidence for the effects of aid projects may therefore be of particular importance in shaping attitudes. In a survey experiment carried out among the German population ( N ≈ 6000), we presented a claim on the effe…
Does the Covid-19 pandemic threaten global solidarity? Evidence from Germany
The global COVID-19 pandemic poses challenges to the economy, politics and public health systems of developed and developing countries alike. However, the latter are less well placed to cope with adverse effects. In particular, important advances towards sustainable development might be reversed. Tackling the pandemic and its effects therefore requires global cooperation as well as solidarity in the form of development assistance. Yet, support fo…
An appraisal profile of nostalgia
The authors aimed to (a) identify the cognitive appraisals underlying nostalgia and (b) compare nostalgia with other emotions in terms of its appraisal profile. In Study 1, participants (N = 1,125) generated narratives. Next, they reported the level of nostalgia and 31 other emotions that these narratives elicited. Subsequently, participants evaluated the narrative events on several cognitive appraisals. Events that elicited nostalgia were pleasa…
Consequentialism and Its Demands: A Representative Study
Overdemanding Consequentialism? An Experimental Approach
According to act-consequentialism the right action is the one that produces the best results as judged from an impersonal perspective. Some claim that this requirement is unreasonably demanding and therefore consequentialism is unacceptable as a moral theory. The article breaks with dominant trends in discussing this so-called Overdemandingness Objection. Instead of focusing on theoretical responses, it empirically investigates whether there exis…
Collective nostalgia: A group-level emotion that confers unique benefits on the group
This research established collective nostalgia as a group-level emotion and ascertained the benefits it confers on the group. In Study 1, participants who reflected on a nostalgic event they had experienced together with ingroup members (collective nostalgia) evaluated the ingroup more positively and reported stronger intentions to approach (and not avoid) ingroup members than those who recalled a nostalgic event they had experienced individually…
Trait and State Authenticity Across Cultures
We examined the role of culture in both trait and state authenticity, asking whether the search for and experience of the "true self" is a uniquely Western phenomenon or is relevant cross-culturally. We tested participants from the United States, China, India, and Singapore. U.S. participants reported higher average levels of trait authenticity than those from Eastern cultures (i.e., China, India, Singapore), but this effect was partially explain…
Measuring Individual Differences in Generic Beliefs in Conspiracy Theories Across Cultures: Conspiracy Mentality Questionnaire
Conspiracy theories are ubiquitous when it comes to explaining political events and societal phenomena. Individuals differ not only in the degree to which they believe in specific conspiracy theories, but also in their general susceptibility to explanations based on such theories, that is, their conspiracy mentality. We present the Conspiracy Mentality Questionnaire (CMQ), an instrument designed to efficiently assess differences in the generic te…
How Does “Being Real” Feel? The Experience of State Authenticity
OBJECTIVE: We propose that the experience of state authenticity-the subjective sense of being one's true self-ought to be considered separately from trait authenticity as well as from prescriptions regarding what should make people feel authentic. METHODS: In Study 1 (N = 104), online participants rated the frequency of and motivation for experiences of authenticity and inauthenticity. Studies 2 (N = 268) and 3 (N = 93) asked (local or online, re…
We feel, therefore we are: Emotion as a basis for self-categorization and social action
Building on intergroup emotion research, we test the idea that intergroup emotion influences self-categorization. We report two studies using minimal (Study 1) and natural (Study 2) groups in which we measured participants' emotional reactions to a group-relevant event before manipulating the emotional reactions of other ingroup members and outgroup members (anger vs. happiness in Study 1; anger vs. indifference in Study 2). Results supported the…
The more, the merrier? Numerical strength versus subgroup distinctiveness in minority groups
A Meta-Analysis on the Malleability of Automatic Gender Stereotypes
This meta-analytic review examined the efficacy of interventions aimed at reducing automatic gender stereotypes. Such interventions included attentional distraction, salience of within-category heterogeneity, and stereotype suppression. A small but significant main effect (g = .32) suggests that these interventions are successful but that their scope is limited. The intervention main effect was moderated by publication status, sample nationality,…
