Causal Evidence for the Role of Respect Norms in Promoting Tolerance
Promoting social norms can be a powerful tool to deal with the intolerance that threatens our societies. This research explores how equality-based respect norms foster intergroup tolerance. We developed an experimental paradigm manipulating equality-based respect norms within social media to promote tolerance toward the LGBTIQ+ community in Poland. Across three studies (Study 1: N = 98; Study 2: N = 381; Study 3: N = 377), manipulations consisten…
Politicized, moral and personal motivations of refugee helpers in the context of the war in Ukraine / Motivaciones politizadas, morales y personales de quienes prestan ayuda a los refugiados en el con…
We tested motivations and conditions of helping intention towards refugees from Ukraine in three Central European countries. Our aim was twofold: to test how personal, moral and politicized motivation predicted sustainability of helping, and how these motivations were connected to conditionality of helping, specifically to stereotypical expectations of refugees to fit the image of the helpless but grateful help recipients. We anticipated that hel…
“Your Bodies… Your Choices?”
Antiabortionists are becoming a prominent conservative force, as illustrated by the recent rulings of the Polish Constitutional Tribunal and the USA Supreme Court. However, global resistance in favor of abortion rights persists, with an increasing number of men joining the protests. In three studies (total N = 937 men), we analysed ideological and motivational factors predicting men's support of abortion protests. Study 1 examined the role of ant…
Mind the Gap! Linking Equality‐Based Respect Norms with General and Specific Tolerance
This research investigates the extent of Poles’ tolerance of Jews through the lens of equality‐based respect norms and how these norms translate into general and specific tolerance. Additionally, we reexamine the principle‐implementation gap, specifically highlighting the potential discrepancy between declared tolerance and actual behavioral intentions. Through our analysis, we explore the distinction between measuring tolerance as an abstract pr…
Abort the government!” Alliances between diverse groups and collective action intentions as a response to threat evoked by abortion bans
Recent abortion restrictions in the US and Poland sparked widespread protests. This research examined how personal threat influenced collective action intentions through alliances with men and the LGBTIQ+ community (from women’s perspective), and alliances with women (from men’s perspective). It focused on two representations of intergroup cooperation: recategorization as one group and coalitions between distinct groups. In both countries, higher…
United as one? Personal and social identity threats differentially predict cooperation and prejudice toward minorities

Walk This Way
Even though taking part in elections is one of the most direct tools to influence the sociopolitical system, many people choose not to vote. Research shows that this problem is especially prevalent among those citizens who do not believe they have control over social and political issues, but the question remains as to what could encourage their voting behavior. We predicted that individuals who experience low levels of control can be more suscep…
Disentangling the factors behind shifting voting intentions
In today’s elections, abundantly available polls inform voters what parties lead and what parties trail. This allows voters to accurately predict the likely outcomes of elections before the final results are in. Voters may react to these ex-ante election outcomes by shifting their votes either toward leading parties, often termed the “bandwagon effect” or toward trailing parties, often termed the “underdog effect”. The published literature presen…
