Democratic Backsliding Based on Illusions
Authoritarianism plays a pivotal role in shaping anti‐democratic preferences, including support for institutional restrictions on free speech. In this study, we present empirical evidence that authoritarianism undermines public discourse not only through such antidemocratic views but also by fostering ignorance regarding problems with freedom of speech. The study aims to demonstrate that authoritarianism is associated with a more positive percept…
Belief in a Just World as a Basis for Biased System Attitudes and Their Palliative Effect
Although system-justifying beliefs can have a palliative effect on citizens, the underlying mechanisms and contextual moderators of this association are relatively unknown. Because system threats are likely to strengthen a defensive bolstering of the system, we assumed that the motivational factors behind system justification exert a stronger palliative effect in more dysfunctional systems. Specifically, we hypothesized that belief in a just worl…
Addressing anti-Gypsyism with context-dependent psychological tools
Anti-Gypsyism is a deeply entrenched form of ethnic bias in Europe, characterised by realistic conflict perceptions, social norms approving bias, unacknowledged historical victimisation, and denial of cultural autonomy. Mainstream prejudice reduction interventions may have limited applicability to anti-Gypsyism, because prejudice is normative, hence people are not motivated to change their views; interventions focusing on increased liking, but no…
The Power of Warmth
While many countries have advanced LGBTQ+ rights, others have enacted anti-LGBTQ+ laws, underscoring the crucial role of allies in the fight for equality. However, not all allies are driven by genuine motivations to fight social injustice and achieve social change. To identify conditions of social change-oriented (vs. self-serving) collective action engagement, we conducted two studies among cis-heterosexual allies of the LGBTQ+ community. In two…
Social Equality Is Rather Threatening Than Normative to Authoritarians
Authoritarianism is a key predisposition that serves as a motivational base for prejudice against non‐conventional social groups, but less is known about the contextual bases of authoritarian prejudice. Using multinational data, we revealed how contextual social equality and inclusion affect authoritarian prejudice. Authoritarians' sensitivity to social and normative threats and conformity to norms would indicate the opposite influence of context…
Allyship Motivations
Public support plays an important role in adopting LGBTQ+ rights, including anti‐discrimination and political rights. Their support by advantaged group members may stem from (a) positive appraisal and empathy for the marginalised group and (b) injustice perception and anger at social inequality. We propose a novel dual‐pathway model that assumes that positive perceptions and empathy may motivate people to support anti‐discrimination rights and th…
The Role of Intergroup Contact, Injustice Talk and Perceived Injustice in the Demobilisation of LGBTIQ+ People and Ethnic Minorities
We aimed to identify conditions when positive contact with advantaged groups leads and does not lead to the demobilisation of disadvantaged group members (i.e., lower collective action for social change). In a pre‐registered, multinational survey study, we tested the moderating role of the content of intergroup contact experiences, such as talking about injustice (i.e., injustice talk), and indicators of perceived injustice, such as perceived ine…
Nothing to see here, move along! Illiberal contexts as catalyzers of authoritarian misperception of democratic quality
This study investigates the role of authoritarianism, a psychological characteristic at the individual level, in systemic democratic backsliding. Authoritarianism has been primarily regarded as a driver of nondemocratic changes through the establishment of illiberal and antidemocratic attitudes and preferences. However, our multinational study proposes an additional mechanism. By analyzing data from the European Social Survey, gathered from repre…
A threat-complexity hypothesis of conspiracy thinking during the Covid-19 pandemic
One way to cope with crises is by attributing their ultimate causes to malevolent conspiracies. As crises are rarely simple, and may involve an interplay between multiple, co-occurring threats, we suggest that conspiracy thinking mainly occurs among individuals who experience conditions of threat complexity - such as socioeconomic vulnerability paired with a sense of helplessness in society, and who are also sufficiently paranoid to infer a consp…
Negative contexts as catalyzers
In our multinational study, we tested the hypothesis that belief in a just world (BJW) enhances political trust by strengthening perceptions of political procedural justice. Based on data from the ninth round of the European Social Survey and various country‐ranking indices, we found a positive relationship between BJW and political trust, with perceived procedural justice serving as an important mediator in this relationship. More importantly, o…
Blindfolding political trust
In this study, we gather empirical evidence supporting the assumption that political trust is related to the ignorance of political performance problems, which ignorance, in turn, has a palliative function as it protects subjective well-being. We hypothesized that political trust has a stronger positive effect on the evaluation of political performance (and indirectly on subjective well-being) if actual performance is more questionable. These hyp…
Development of the hungarian version of the short dark triad questionnaire (SD3-HU)
The present studies were aimed at developing the Hungarian version of the Short Dark Triad questionnaire (SD3-HU). The internal structure of the translated questionnaire was examined with confirmatory factor analysis and exploratory structural equation modeling. Then the construct and concurrent validity of the Hungarian version was tested. The obtained results were based on a total of seven independent samples ( N TOTAL = 2161). While the intern…
Put a Little Love in Your Heart
The way politicians talk about minorities institutes the normative context of intergroup relations. We investigated how endorsement of different political discourses predicts donation and collective action intentions by majority members toward the Roma in five European countries. The survey was conducted online using samples demographically similar to the populations of Hungary, Slovakia, Romania, France, and Ireland (N = 5,054). First, results s…
Identification With All Humanity Predicts Prosocial and Political Action Intentions During Covid-19
In case of a global crisis, such as the COVID-19 pandemic, inclusive identities are essential for coordinated action and for pro-social behavior on behalf of vulnerable groups. We tested how identification with all humanity vs. the national ingroup play a role in supporting vulnerable groups by prosocial action on one hand, and on the other hand, how these factors mobilize people to be willing to put pressure on authorities for the interest of th…
Immigrants’ intragroup moral exclusion predicts ingroup-directed behavioral intentions
Previous research documents the relationship between negative treatments of outgroup members and moral exclusion. In this study, we expect negative treatments of the ingroup members to be also related to a moral exclusionary mechanism. Next, we hypothesize that the relationship between intragroup moral exclusion and behavioral intentions (both positive and negative ones) targeting the ingroup members, to be mediated by immigrants’ disidentificati…
Politics Turns Moral Foundations Into Consequences of Intergroup Attitudes
Applying a longitudinal design, we tested the directions of the relationships between moral foundations and attitudes toward Muslim immigrants. The study was conducted during the official campaign period of the Hungarian parliamentary elections in 2018. It was found that moral foundations are consequences of intergroup attitudes. Latent change modeling showed that while individualizing foundations were independent of anti-Muslim attitudes, longit…
The Palliative Function of Climate Change Denial Is Stronger in More Exposed Countries
In our multinational study, we tested whether the palliative effect of climate change denial depends on the local level of climate change exposure. More importantly, we also assumed that the extent of this ease is larger in countries being more threatened by the harmful consequences of climate change. To test this assumption, we analyzed data collected from representative samples of 23 European countries within European Social Survey Programme, a…
The relationship between collective narcissism and group-based moral exclusion
In our study, we investigated the relationship between collective narcissism and group-based moral exclusion. Since collective narcissists are motivated to see their group as unique and superior, and tend to show hostility towards outgroups threatening this presumed superiority, we hypothesized that perceived intergroup threat and social distance can mediate the relationship between collective narcissism and group-based moral exclusion. We tested…
The last acceptable prejudice in Europe? Anti-Gypsyism as the obstacle to Roma inclusion
National and European policies aim to facilitate the integration of Roma people into mainstream society. Yet, Europe’s largest ethnic group continues to be severely discriminated. Although prejudice has been identified to be at the core of this failure, social psychological research on anti-Gypsyism remains scarce. We conducted a study in six countries using student and community samples ( N = 2,089; Hungary, Romania, Slovakia, Norway, Italy, Spa…
The mediating role of moral exclusion between authoritarianism and outgroup discrimination
Perceived outgroup characteristics as antecedents and consequences of moral exclusion
The literature of group-based moral exclusion emphasizes that the two main reasons for excluding certain groups from the boundaries of moral regard are perceived threat and social distance. Nonetheless, we cannot rule out the possibility that these two variables are not just antecedents but also posterior justifications for moral exclusion. To reveal this possibility, applying a two-wave cross-lagged panel design, we tested the temporal direction…
Moral foundations of positive and negative intergroup behavior
Personal criteria about the morally appropriate forms of behavior can be crucial when coming into contact with members of culturally different outgroups. In our study, we investigated whether moral exclusion mediates the relationship between moral foundations and positive and negative behavioral intentions toward Muslim people. Our aim was to identify the psychological mechanism that explains why particular people intend to harm (or not harm), an…
