“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…
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%…

The present study aimed…

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 (…

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…
