Investigating the Links Between Cultural Values and Belief in Conspiracy Theories: The Key Roles of Collectivism and Masculinity
Research suggests that belief in conspiracy theories (CT) stems from basic psychological mechanisms and is linked to other belief systems (e.g., religious beliefs). While previous research has extensively examined individual and contextual variables associated with CT beliefs, it has not yet investigated the role of culture. In the current research, we tested, based on a situated cultural cognition perspective, the extent to which culture predict…
The role of Muslim identity in predicting violent behavioural intentions to defend Muslims
A sense of shared Muslim suffering seems to play a key role in uniting Muslims around the world. Therefore, in the current paper we hypothesized that the social psychological underpinnings of Islamist extremism would be similar for Muslims living in the West and Muslims living in countries with prolonged and ongoing exposure to Western-led military interventions. Across 4 studies among Muslims in Pakistan and Afghanistan ( Ns = 425, 402, and 127)…
Return of the repressed”: Exposure to police violence increases protest and self-sacrifice intentions for the Yellow Vests
Worldwide, it is not uncommon to observe violent police reactions against social movements. These are often rationalized by decision makers as efficient ways to contain violence from protesters. In France for instance, the ongoing Yellow Vests protests have generated an unprecedented number of casualties, injuries, and convictions among protesters. But was this response efficient in diminishing violence stemming from the Yellow Vests? To this day…
Together we stand? Belonging motive moderates the effect of national ingroup salience on attitudes towards ethnic minorities
Positive associations between anomia and intentions to engage in political violence: Cross-cultural evidence from four countries
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…
Evidence for indirect loss of significance effects on violent extremism: The potential mediating role of anomia
Psychological research suggests that violent extremism (e.g., terrorism) stems partly from existential motives, such as individuals’ need to achieve significance in life after experiencing failure, ostracism, or humiliation (Significance Quest Theory; SQT). Parallel investigations from sociology and criminology established similar findings by linking anomia—a syndrome including feelings of meaninglessness, powerlessness, isolation, self‐estrangem…
Are your cross‐ethnic friends ethnic and/or national group identifiers? The role of own and perceived cross‐ethnic friend's identities on outgroup attitudes and multiculturalism
We investigated how own ethnic and national identities and perceived ethnic and national identities of close cross‐ethnic friends may predict outgroup attitudes and multiculturalism among Turkish (majority status, N = 197) and Kurdish (minority status, N = 80) ethnic group members in Turkey ( M age = 21.12, SD = 2.59, 69.7% females, 30.3% males). Compared with Turkish participants, Kurdish participants were more asymmetrical in rating their cross…
Ethnic identification, discrimination, and mental and physical health among Syrian refugees: The moderating role of identity needs
Using a risk and resilience framework and motivated identity construction theory, we investigated the moderating role of identity needs in the association between social identification and perceived discrimination with mental and physical health among a sample of Syrian refugees ( N = 361) in Turkey. Results showed that there were two clusters of interrelated identity needs, namely, belonging (belonging, continuity, and esteem) and efficacy (effi…
Discrimination Towards Ethnic Minorities: How Does it Relate to Majority Group Members' Outgroup Attitudes and Support for Multiculturalism
Support for Kurdish language rights in Turkey: The Roles of Ethnic Group, Group Identifications, Contact, and Intergroup Perceptions
The question of Kurdish language rights has been a central issue in the Turkish- Kurdish conflict. The current study examined endorsement of Kurdish language rights in relation to intergroup factors (i.e. group identifi cations, cross-group friendships, perceived discrimination, and perceived out-group beliefs about state unity) among self-identifi ed Turkish and Kurdish participants. The results indicate that Turks were much less in favour of th…
