However, altruistic behavior is often context-dependent rather than consistent—the same individuals who act generously in one situation may behave selfishly in another. Here, we review research on this phenomenon, which we label <em>reluctant altruism</em>. We outline its various forms, from willful ignorance to the strategic avoidance of morally challenging decisions. We examine three key psychological drivers of reluctant altruism: (i) cognitive inattentiveness, (ii) guilt and self-image concerns, and (iii) shame and social-image concerns. We also review cross-cultural findings, highlighting robust evidence for willful ignorance across nations. Taken together, this literature offers a cautiously optimistic outlook: by thoughtfully designing decision-making environments, we can encourage reluctant individuals to act altruistically.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48279,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Psychology","volume":"66 ","pages":"Article 102107"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144664861","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, full avoidance is not always possible, especially in today’s information-rich environments. We propose that when ignorance is not possible, individuals use more subtle information-processing strategies to achieve the same result. These partial ignorance strategies include limiting exposure to inconvenient information, seeking contradictory information, and interpreting information in self-serving ways to maintain a positive image while behaving selfishly. Therefore, to effectively promote prosociality, interventions should go beyond confronting individuals with inconvenient information. Instead, interventions should focus on mitigating the more subtle strategies individuals use. We present potentially promising interventions and raise open research questions that merit further exploration. Understanding these subtle information-processing strategies and developing interventions to tackle them is important to promote prosociality.","PeriodicalId":48279,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Psychology","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144664973","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We introduce the concept of ‘short-term mindsets’—which reflects the tendency to prioritize immediate (versus future) outcomes. While partly dispositional, short-term mindsets are also responsive to situational states (e.g., intoxication, arousal), acute events (e.g., threat), and broader environments (e.g., neighborhood violence). Crucially, it decouples time perspective from self-regulatory ability. We propose Short-Term Mindsets Theory as useful set of principles for understanding intertemporal choice and outline key directions for measurement and empirical validation.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48279,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Psychology","volume":"66 ","pages":"Article 102112"},"PeriodicalIF":6.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144664863","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Current research assumes that willful ignorance and information seeking are the opposite ends of a single continuum. However, this assumption fails to account for information relevance and we show how this may lead to an overestimation of the prevalence of willful ignorance as well as a misinterpretation of its behavioral effects. To address this, we propose a conceptual framework consisting of two dimensions: information acquisition and information relevance. The framework distinguishes willful ignorance from related constructs, such as rational inattention and omission. Based on this framework, we propose remedies for more accurate measurement of willful ignorance.","PeriodicalId":48279,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Psychology","volume":"10 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144664972","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Social psychology research highlights how collective memory narratives categorize historical actors into moral roles, influencing intergroup relations and identity development. History education studies investigate the moral dimensions of national narratives, with ongoing debates about pedagogical focus—whether to emphasize direct ethical reflections or foster moral consciousness in historical learning. The conclusions emphasize the importance of interdisciplinary research, conceptual clarity, and enhancing students' engagement with the past, as well as the need for more empirical studies that address evolving social changes and current challenges.","PeriodicalId":48279,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Psychology","volume":"3 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144664862","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As a remedy, any aversive trait can be conceived as the conjuncture of (a) the aversive essence shared across all aversive traits and (b) an essentially non-aversive unique part.

This review investigates where these two construct domains connect by integrating previous work on their bivariate relationships with contemporary research that has reconceptualized vocational interests in light of recent economic changes. Our review considers both Five-Factor Model (FFM) and HEXACO traits in relation to three interest models which describe 22 vocational interests in total. Various patterns of trait-interest associations are identified, shedding light on where personality intersects with an expanded and partly renewed set of vocational interests. Future directions aimed at clarifying the complex link between personality traits and vocational interests are discussed.","PeriodicalId":48279,"journal":{"name":"Current Opinion in Psychology","volume":"11 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.9,"publicationDate":"2025-07-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144664789","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
