“Protect Our Women…From the Immigrants!?”
Catcalling as a form of sexual street harassment has been shown to seriously affect women’s perception of safety and well-being. The present study aimed to investigate whether inter-group attitudes and perceived origin of the catcalling person influence the way people perceive such behavior. We presented 1,246 participants vignettes of catcalling being performed by in-group versus out-group members and let them rate these vignettes with respect t…
Is issue voting solely based on issues? Latent factors of political ideology in response patterns of voting advice applications
In recent years, an increase in issue voting has been observed, which is further facilitated by voting advice applications (VAAs) that inform users about the structure of the political contest in terms of their own preferences. Nevertheless, some response patterns seem to occur more frequently in VAAs than others, which could indicate ideological influences. To investigate this, we aggregated N = 5963 datasets of the German VAA Wahl-O-Mat (WoM) f…
Beyond words
One of the best replicated and most famous effects in experimental psychology, the Stroop effect, describes interferences in cognitive processing when a color word is printed in a conflicting ink color. Recently, the controversial hypothesis was proposed that reading the color word triggers visual imagery, which then interferes with the perceived color, leading to the Stroop effect. Thus, the Stroop effect should not occur in aphantasics, i.e., i…
Does the implementation of quality management systems increase participation in adult learning and education? A study with a staggered treatment
Herausforderungen und Perspektiven für Beratung in Bildung, Beruf und Beschäftigung in gesellschaftlicher Transformation
Der Beitrag beleuchtet unterschiedliche Standpunkte von Expertinnen und Experten aus Wissenschaft, Verbänden und Praxis zur Beratung in Bildung, Beruf und Beschäftigung (BBB-Beratung) im Kontext gesellschaftlicher Transformation. Mithilfe von zwei Fokusgruppen mit quantitativen Ratings werden konsensfähige und polarisierende Perspektiven zu den Themen Lebensweltbezug, Strukturen und Transparenz sowie Digitalisierung herausgearbeitet und gegenüber…
Spirituality and anxiety in pastoral care workers and physicians in the first wave of the Covid-19 pandemic
Our results point to the significant role of sense of coherence as a protective factor against anxiety and highlight the complexity of the relationship among spirituality, transpersonal trust, and anxiety
The Influence of Sex and Gender, Gender Ontological Beliefs, and Sexism on Pain Sensitivity Judgments
Chronic pain affects at least one in five individuals. Hence, adequate pain judgement is a vital interpersonal skill. Nonetheless, women often face treatment disparities due to biased assessments. Priorly, sex and gender (i.e., biological category vs. cultural representation) have not been investigated separately. Our study was thus designed to disentangle their distinct influence on pain judgments. In an online study, N = 679 participants (73.8%…
Cultural Differences in the Perception of (Self-)sexualizing Instagram Content and Their Associations with Sexism and Self-sexualization Tendencies
The use of social networking sites is associated with objectification tendencies of the self and others. However, only few studies investigate how users actually perceive sexualizing content on Instagram. In a recent study, we showed that perceiving sexy Instagram posts as appropriate and less revealing goes along with self-sexualization in German participants and that Instagram users tend to be more sexist than non-users. The present study aimed…
No general pathological significance of aphantasia
As awareness of the phenomenon of aphantasia (= lack of voluntary imagery) has increased in recent years, many psychotherapists ponder its clinical implications. The present study investigates whether aphantasia meets the criteria for mental disorders, i.e. statistical rarity, impairment in activities of daily living, violation of social norms and inappropriate behavior and personal distress. Prevalence of aphantasia was determined meta‐analytica…
Evaluations of the Authenticity of News Media Articles and Variables of Xenophobia in a German Sample
Xenophobic and right-wing attitudes have become a major issue in Western societies. The present study investigated how such attitudes and stereotypes influence media perception in terms of identifying manipulated news articles. In a fake news paradigm, N = 326 participants provided self-report measures of xenophobia and conservatism, and were presented with real news media articles describing crimes that were committed either by putative German (…

Effects of a 6-Month Aerobic Exercise Intervention on Mood and Amygdala Functional Plasticity in Young Untrained Subjects
Acute exercise has beneficial effects on mood and is known to induce modulations in functional connectivity (FC) within the emotional network. However, the long-term effects of exercise on affective brain circuits remain largely unknown. Here, we investigated the effects of 6 months of regular exercise on mood, amygdala structure, and functional connectivity. This study comprised N = 18 healthy sedentary subjects assigned to an intervention group…
Political Orientation is Associated with Behavior in Public-Goods- and Trust-Games
To examine whether political orientation is reflected in actual behavior, we applied classical paradigms of behavioral economics, namely the Public-Goods- (PGG) and the Trust-Game (TG) which constitute measures of cooperativeness, interpersonal trust and reciprocity respectively in a large German sample of N = 454. Participants intending to vote for right-of-center-parties showed significantly lower monetary transfers in both games than those int…
What Makes Diets Political? Moral Foundations and the Left-Wing-Vegan Connection
Though meat-consumption is known to be a key factor in environmental damage, veganism and vegetarianism are still perceived to be left-wing-phenomena, ironically not penetrating to those who hold ideologies of conservation. Logical contradictions and historical counter-examples cast doubt on a substantive connection between political orientation and meat-eating. Instead, common psychological factors may predispose people toward both: left vs. rig…
Qualitätsmanagementsysteme – eine Analyse von Diffusionsprozessen in verschiedene organisationale Felder der Weiterbildung
Qualitätsmanagementsysteme sind mittlerweile fester Bestandteil der Erwachsenenbildung. Die Etablierung dieser ursprünglich aus der Industrie stammenden Managementinstrumente kann als Diffusionsprozess beschrieben werden. Weitgehend ungeklärt ist bisher jedoch, inwiefern sich Organisationen dabei an ihrer organisationalen Feldzugehörigkeit orientierten, und welche Bedeutung bildungspolitische Interventionen in Form von gesetzlichen Vorgaben für d…
Personality's influence on political orientation extends to concrete stances of political controversy in Germany – Cross-nationally and consistently
Growing evidence suggests that the general personality structure predisposes the political or ideological orientation. Here, we first replicated findings of associations between Big Five factors openness, agreeableness and conscientiousness, and self-reported political orientation in a large German sample. However, the new aspect of our study is the addition of Wahl-O-Mat (WoM; a prominent voting advice application) as a measure of concrete polic…

Differentiating Burnout from Depression
Stress-related affective disorders have been identified as a core health problem of the twenty-first century. In the endeavor to identify vulnerability factors, personality has been discussed as a major factor explaining and predicting disorders like depression or burnout. An unsolved question is whether there are specific personality factors allowing differentiation of burnout from depression. The present study tested the relation between one of…

Interaction Effect of Functional Variants of the BDNF and DRD2/ANKK1 Gene Is Associated With Alexithymia in Healthy Human Subjects
Objective: To test the hypothesis that the interaction between the brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and dopamine receptor D2 (DRD2)/ANKK1 gene contributes to individual differences in alexithymia. The personality construct of alexithymia refers to difficulties in emotional self-regulation and contributes as a risk factor to several mental disorders. Alexithymic individuals show an impoverished conscious experience of emotions but an intac…
The nicotinic acetylcholine receptor gene CHRNA4 is associated with negative emotionality
Knock-out studies in mice suggest a role of the CHRNA4 gene in anxiety. In the present study we extend this finding to humans by means of a genetic association study. In a sample of N = 574 healthy White participants, the CHRNA4 rs1044396 polymorphism is related to the common variance of several conceptualizations of negative emotionality. Compared to carriers of at least one T-allele, carriers of the homozygous C/C genotype described themselves …
Variation in the serotonin transporter gene modulates selective attention to threat
The 5-HTTLPR is an insertion/deletion polymorphism in the promoter region of the serotonin transporter gene. Prior research has revealed associations between the short-allele variant of this polymorphism, enhanced self-reported negative emotionality, and hypersensitivity of fear relevant neural circuits. In a sample of 50 healthy women we examined the role of 5-HTTLPR for cognitive-affective processing of phylogenetical fear-relevant stimuli (spi…

Coursework selection
Background. Choice behaviour has far-reaching consequences on students' educational careers. Previous models on course selection for example, the model of achievement-related choices (Wigfield & Eccles, 2000) and of self-efficacy theory (Bandura, 1997), stress the importance of ability perceptions (self-concept of ability) as major determinants of choice.Aim. This article suggests a model of course selection, which assumes that comparisons within…
