In Experiment 1, we found conformity effects only when the other choices came from humans. In Experiment 2, we manipulated the attention allocated to encoding picture-choice combinations by means of a secondary go/nogo task. Conformity effects were found for humans and computers if the secondary task did not require a response. In Experiment 3, we manipulated the attention allocated to retrieving picture-choice combinations, which resulted in conformity effects for all conditions. Taken altogether, our findings suggest that conformity effects can be obtained for \"computerized\" informational sources under attentional conditions that reduce the specificity of encoding or the selectivity of retrieving event files.</p>","PeriodicalId":48205,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Social Psychology","volume":" ","pages":"1-19"},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-01-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142980258","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Participants (<i>N</i> = 323) completed measures of willingness to get vaccinated, belief in COVID-19 vaccines conspiracy, intolerance of uncertainty (IOU), perceived personal control, and political uncontrollability. Results show that conspiracy beliefs mediated the positive association between perceived personal control and willingness to get vaccinated, and the negative association between political uncontrollability and willingness to get vaccinated. Additionally, conspiracy belief had a suppression effect on the association between IOU and willingness to get vaccinated.
