The State of Evidence in Digital Hate Research
Digital hate poses a threat to citizens, communities, and societies. Despite numerous studies and reviews on the concept of digital hate, we lack a systematic view of the entire body of scholarship. The aim of this umbrella review is therefore to evaluate the scope, definitions, main findings, and identified gaps of digital hate research. An umbrella review allows one to examine, compare, and evaluate the state of the research across all availabl…
All Roads Lead to Hate? Examining Five Prediction Paths for Online Incivility and Intolerance Perpetration
This two-wave panel survey puts five pathways (i.e., antisocial and prosocial personality, intergroup identity conflict, recent victimization experiences, social media habits) against each other to test their unique over-time relationship with digital hate perpetration. Using autoregressive structural equation modeling, psychopathy, need for social approval, and recent victimization emerged as universally relevant for both incivility and intolera…
Discursive consequences of social media hostility
There is mounting evidence that social media platforms facilitate the dissemination of hostility, potentially yielding detrimental effects on the discursive space. Exposure to such hostilities can be particularly problematic for emerging adults, given this age group's high sensitivity to social validation. Our study investigated how exposure to social media hostility can shape emerging adults' willingness to engage in or avoid social media discus…
Misreading uncivil and intolerant anti-immigration content in digital spheres
Online hostility has become increasingly common in digital public spaces, often to the detriment of marginalized groups. While prior research distinguishes between incivility and intolerance, little is known about whether users can recognize these forms as conceptually distinct. Moreover, the roles of prior digital hate perpetration and national context in shaping such perceptions remain unclear. This cross-national survey ( N = 4041; Austria, Fr…
Immigration-related socio-cognitive dynamics driving digital hate
Amid crises, immigration-related digital hate is rising. When perpetrators attempt to rationalize their actions, various socio-cognitive dynamics activate. We theorize that immigration-related moral disengagement serves as the key mechanism between perceived immigration threats and digital hate perpetration (i.e., online incivility and intolerance). Also, we argue that constant victimization perceptions amplify this process. Using cross-sectional…
The WWW of digital hate perpetration
Fueled by the growing presence of information and communication technologies, digital hate (DH) perpetration poses significant threats. Although a substantial body of research addresses DH perpetration, existing literature lacks conceptual clarity as numerous, somewhat vaguely distinguishable phenomena are being investigated in parallel. This scoping review organizes extant findings concerning personal, social, and environmental factors related t…
Comparing personal and social optimism biases
Individuals are more optimistic about their own future than a comparable person’s future ( personal optimism bias ). In addition, they show overoptimism toward people or social groups they identify with compared with those they do not identify with ( social optimism bias ). However, commonalities and differences between personal and social forms of optimism bias remain to be addressed. Data from an experiment on anticipated performances in soccer…
