Anger
The present research adopts a mixed-methods approach to examine the boundaries between two anger variants: an anger perceived as moral, appropriate, and justified; and an anger considered wrong and unjustified. The research focuses on how individuals themselves perceive their anger as justified or unjustified. In Study 1, we analyze participants’ narratives about their past experiences of justified and unjustified anger using qualitative thematic…
Examining psychological effects of demagogic discourse on perceived threat and political intolerance
Despite warnings about the increasingly confrontational tone of political discourse, little research has experimentally examined the psychological impact that different political styles may have. We seek to fill this lacuna by investigating whether exposure to a type of political discourse labelled as ‘demagogic discourse’ fosters anti-democratic stances by threatening values and lowering political tolerance. To this end, we conducted three exper…
“If Immoral Then Unable”
Morality and ability are two key dimensions of social judgment. Across four experiments (total N = 1,418, three preregistered), we examined how information about one dimension shapes impressions in the other. In Experiment 1, participants generated positive and negative behaviors related to either morality or ability and then evaluated each behavior on the other dimension. Negative moral behaviors led to stronger inferences of low ability than ne…
Slicing the gordian knot of political extremism
The main goal of the present work is to highlight the problems surrounding the current definition of political extremism and the misuse of this and other related terms like radicalism and radicalization. It is argued that these issues generate confusion and obscure research efforts regarding these phenomena. We identify four major problems regarding the terminology used to describe the phenomenon of political extremism: a polysemy problem, an ina…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) stands as the most transformative technology since the Industrial Revolution. As AI is integrated into different domains of life, it is likely to also permeate politics. In fact, some voices already advocate for AI to make political decisions. This paper emphasizes the necessity to delve into the psychosocial determinants shaping support for supporting a technocracy of AI (TecAI). The research aims to ascertain whethe…
‘I know what is best for you better than you do’
Political extremism represents a collective threat to open and democratic societies, a hazard that has grown in recent times. The main goal of the present research is to test one novel construct, the Monopoly on Truth (MoT), by examining its association with illegal and violent extremist acts in a cross-cultural setting. Thus, the association between MoT and extremism has been tested in several countries with different cultures and socio-politica…
Positive associations between anomia and intentions to engage in political violence
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…
