Sincerity of apologies
Purpose This study aims to evaluate how a colleague’s apology following a workplace offense affects victim’s interpersonal motivations, focusing on the apology’s perceived sincerity. Design/methodology/approach Using a between-subjects vignette design, the authors randomly assigned 604 participants to one of three scenarios: no offense, offense without apology and offense with apology. They assessed perceived sincerity and forgiveness, with forgi…
Religion, morals, and pornography
At the population level, moral disapproval of pornography use is associated with higher life satisfaction, romantic satisfaction, and sexual satisfaction • Moral disapproval of pornography use significantly predicts abstinence and may serve protective functions in a subset of the population. • Pornography use frequency is associated with lower life satisfaction and higher suicidality. • Judeo-Christian religous identification is associated with h…

How We Think About People
For decades, researchers have dealt with how human nature influences behavior in conflicts. Today, it is recognized that subjective beliefs about human nature play a significant role in conflict situations. This was also acknowledged in studies using the theory of planned behavior to explain conflict behavior as the potential for integrating beliefs about human nature was highlighted there, too. In this longitudinal study, with a representative s…
Indignation and conflict-associated behavior – does cognition matter
Purpose Understanding the cognitions behind emotions like indignation can aid in conflict transformation by helping parties reframe their perceptions, potentially de-escalating conflicts. This study aims to explore the role of cognitive components and their interplay for indignation and conflict-associated behaviors. Design/methodology/approach Based on Montada and Kals’ (2013) social conflict theory, this experimental online study ( n = 1077) ex…
Experimental and Longitudinal Investigations of the Causal Relationship Between Belief in a Just World and Subjective Well-Being
Verständigung statt Polarisierung
In diesem Beitrag werden politische Auseinandersetzungen aus sozialpsychologischer Sicht betrachtet. Dazu wird dem antagonistischen Modell der Polarisierung bzw. einseitiger Interessensdurchsetzung auf primärer Basis von Streben nach Macht das psychologische Modell der Verständigung gegenübergestellt. Letzteres mag auf den ersten Blick „politikfremd“ erscheinen, doch es hat hohes innovatives Potential zur Lösung weltweiter, drängender Probleme, w…
Self-esteem development across the life span
The authors examined the development of self-esteem across the life span. Data came from a German longitudinal study with 3 assessments across 4 years of a sample of 2,509 individuals ages 14 to 89 years. The self-esteem measure used showed strong measurement invariance across assessments and birth cohorts. Latent growth curve analyses indicated that self-esteem follows a quadratic trajectory across the life span, increasing during adolescence, y…

The Justice Sensitivity Inventory
Low self-esteem is a risk factor for depressive symptoms from young adulthood to old age.
Data from two large longitudinal studies were used to analyze reciprocal relations between self-esteem and depressive symptoms across the adult life span. Study 1 included 1,685 participants aged 18 to 96 years assessed 4 times over a 9-year period. Study 2 included 2,479 participants aged 18 to 88 years assessed 3 times over a 4-year period. In both studies, cross-lagged regression analyses indicated that low self-esteem predicted subsequent dep…
Tearing down the ‘Wall in the head’? Culture contact between Germans
Determinants of Human Rights Attitudes and Behavior
Following several political‐psychological approaches, the present research analyzed whether orientations toward human rights are a function of right‐wing authoritarianism (RWA), social dominance orientation (SDO), basic human values in the sense of Schwartz (1992), and political ideology. Three dimensions of human rights attitudes (endorsement, restriction, and enforcement) were differentiated from human rights knowledge and behavior. In a time‐l…
How Do Organizations Allocate Rewards? The Predictive Validity of National Values, Economic and Organizational Factors Across Six Nations
Differences in the reported use of reward allocation principles based on equity, equality, and need in work organizations in Germany, United Kingdom, New Zealand, the United States, and Brazil are investigated. Organization-level and nation-level predictors are used to explain reported differences. Organizational, macroeconomic, and Schwartz's nation-level value indices are all found to be significant predictors. Reliance on equity is predicted b…
Effects of Right‐Wing Authoritarianism and Threat from Terrorism on Restriction of Civil Liberties
In an Internet survey (N = 275), we investigated how right‐wing authoritarianism (RWA), social dominance orientation (SDO), personal values, and political ideology predicted attitudes toward restriction of civil liberties and toward surveillance measured one year later. Feelings of threat from terrorism were also taken into account. RWA, SDO, political ideology, security values, and self‐direction values were significant predictors. In addition, …
Justice Sensitivity
Scales for justice sensitivity from three perspectives (victim, observer, perpetrator) were developed. A latent state-trait analysis revealed high reliabilities (≈ .95). Trait consistencies (≈ .61) were twice as large as occasion specificities (≈ .33). The correlation between observer and perpetrator sensitivity was much higher than the correlation between either one and victim sensitivity. Self-related concerns (Machiavellianism, paranoia, suspi…
The Motivational Bases of Right-Wing Authoritarianism and Social Dominance Orientation
Research suggests that different motivational dynamics underlie right-wing authoritarianism (RWA) and social dominance orientation (SDO). These differences may be framed in the theory of basic human values. RWA may trace back to conservation versus openness-to-change values, and SDO to self-enhancement versus self-transcendence values. Based on a large-scale German survey, associations of RWA and SDO with personal values and attitudes in the afte…
Personal Values and Attitudes Toward War
Psychological determinants of generalized militaristic attitudes and attitudes toward specific wars were analyzed on the basis of 2 waves of a large German survey on attitudes after September 11, 2001 (Ns = 1,548 and 540). Personal values—as defined by the theory of basic human values by Schwartz (1992)— as well as ideological attitudes, threat of terrorism, and concern for human costs as mediators, were taken into account. Militaristic attitudes…

Belief in a Just World as personal Resource in School
Students Often Complain About Being Treated Unfairly In School. Some Argue That They Deserve Another Grade. Others Feel That They Have Been Punished Unfairly While Other Pupils Who Behaved More Inappropriately Were Reproved Less. If Students Are Asked To Describe A Good Teacher, Fairness Is Usually One Of The Top Three Characteristics (See Hofer, Pekrun, & Zielinski, 1986). Furthermore, Gage And Berliner (1996) Claim That Unfair Grades Significan…
Stereotypic ingroup bias as self‐defense against relative deprivation
In a longitudinal questionnaire field study on psychological consequences of German unification, the intergroup situation between East and West Germans was investigated. Data were collected in 1996 and 1998. The sample consisted of 585 East Germans and 387 West Germans who had never lived in the other part of Germany. It was assumed that East Germans' social identity is threatened due to their fraternal deprivation in comparison with West Germans…

The Overestimated Impact of Self-Interest and the Underestimated Impact of Justice Motives
The underlying motives of citizens' support of locally implemented air polluting or air protecting political decision-making processes are analyzed in a questionnaire study (N = 221): To what extent is citizens' support based on self-interest, and how influential are the often overlooked justice motives
Ungerechtigkeitserleben im Vereinigungsprozeß
Die meisten Wahrnehmungs-, Empfindungs- und Urteilsprozesse, zu denen Menschen fähig sind, beruhen auf Vergleichen. Sie setzen Bezugssysteme voraus und bilden solche. Im Alltag erleben wir dieses Prinzip häufig bei der Wahrnehmung physikalischer Reize. Je nach Kontext empfinden wir ein Geräusch als mehr oder weniger laut, ein Licht als mehr oder weniger hell, ein Gewicht als mehr oder weniger schwer, einen Wein als mehr oder weniger trocken. Auch…
