Wherefore art thou competitors? How situational affordances help differentiate ...
Liu, Y.; Stivers, A. W.; Murphy, R. O.; Van Doesum, N. J.; Joireman, J.; Gallucci, M.; Aharonov-Majar, E.; Athenstaedt, U.; Bai, L.; Böhm, R.The Triple Dominance Measure (choosing between prosocial, individualistic, and competitive options) and the Slider Measure ("sliding" between various orientations, for example, from individualistic to prosocial) are two widely used techniques to measure social value orientation, that is, the weight individuals assign to own and others' outcomes in interdependent situations. Surprisingly, there is only moderate ...
High economic inequality is linked to greater moralization
Kirkland, K.; Van Lange, P. A. M.; Gorenz, D.; Blake, K.; Amiot, C. E.; Ausmees, L.; Baguma, P.; Barry, O.; Becker, M.; Bilewicz, M.; Boonyasiriwat, W.Throughout the 21st century, economic inequality is predicted to increase as we face new challenges, from changes in the technological landscape to the growing climate crisis. It is crucial we understand how these changes in inequality may affect how people think and behave. We propose that economic inequality threatens the social fabric of society, in turn increasing moralization—that is, the greater tendency ...
Multinational data show that conspiracy beliefs are associated with the percept...
Hornsey, M. J.; Pearson, S.; Kang, J.; Sassenberg, K.; Jetten, J.; Van Lange, P. A. M.; Medina, L. G.; Amiot, C. E.; Ausmees, L.; Baguma, P.; Barry, O.While a great deal is known about the individual difference factors associated with conspiracy beliefs, much less is known about the country-level factors that shape people's willingness to believe conspiracy theories. In the current article we discuss the possibility that willingness to believe conspiracy theories might be shaped by the perception (and reality) of poor economic performance at the national leve...
Social mindfulness predicts concern for nature and immigrants across 36 nations
Kirkland, K.; Van Lange, P. A. M.; Van Doesum, N. J.; Acevedo-Triana, C.; Amiot, C. E.; Ausmees, L.; Baguma, P.; Barry, O.; Becker, M.; Bilewicz, M.People cooperate every day in ways that range from largescale contributions that mitigate climate change to simple actions such as leaving another individual with choice – known as social mindfulness. It is not yet clear whether and how these complex and more simple forms of cooperation relate. Prior work has found that countries with individuals who made more socially mindful choices were linked to a higher co...
Social mindfulness and prosociality vary across the globe
Van Doesum, N. J.; Murphy, R. O.; Gallucci, M.; Aharonov-Majar, E.; Athenstaedt, U.; Au, W. T.; Bai, L.; Böhm, R.; Bovina, I.; Buchan, N. R.Humans are social animals, but not everyone will be mindful of others to the same extent. Individual differences have been found, but would social mindfulness also be shaped by one's location in the world? Expecting cross-national differences to exist, we examined if and how social mindfulness differs across countries. At little to no material cost, social mindfulness typically entails small acts of attention o...
Perceptions of the appropriate response to norm violation in 57 societies
Eriksson, K.; Strimling, P.; Gelfand, M.; Junhui Wu; Abernathy, J.; Akotia, C. S.; Aldashev, A.; Andersson, P. A.; Andrighetto, G.; Anum, A.; Arikan, G.Norm enforcement may be important for resolving conflicts and promoting cooperation. However, little is known about how preferred responses to norm violations vary across cultures and across domains. In a preregistered study of 57 countries (using convenience samples of 22,863 students and non-students), we measured perceptions of the appropriateness of various responses to a violation of a cooperative norm and...
