In the football fandom context, identity fusion was positively associated with both peaceful and violent pro-group action, with a stronger association with peaceful action.

We comparatively explored different efficacy perceptions: internal locus of control (i.e., individual agency), group efficacy (i.e., ingroup agency), normative and non-normative collective action efficacy (i.e., action efficacy). Both identity types were positively associated with normative CA intentions via increased perceptions of group and normative CA efficacy (Studies 1–2). Regarding non-normative CA intentions, beyond observing positive associations with politicized identity via increased group (Study 1) and non-normative CA efficacy (Study 1–2), we also found a negative indirect effect of politicized identity via increased normative CA efficacy (Study 1) and a negative indirect effect of non-politicized identity via decreased non-normative CA efficacy (Study 2).

Drawing on (action-oriented) social representations theory and conceptions of social order, this study aims to delve into the shared meanings and arguments through which UBI is socially re-presented, as well as the ideological objectives pursued by these arguments. To do so, we conducted a reflexive thematic analysis of 26 individual interviews conducted in the Basque Country. We generated four main themes: (1) Origins of social inequality; (2) The right to a good life; (3) Accessibility: Who should get a UBI; (4) Feasibility in the current system. Results indicated that the re-presentation for UBI is anchored in socially disputed values of equality and freedom, which are objectified into conceptions of distributive justice and group stereotypes. This meaning-making process seems to be conditioned by a social context marked by capitalist realism and political despair. We discuss these results from a theoretical and applied perspective, extending our understanding of how people collectively reason about UBI and what social-psychological processes underpin it.</p>","PeriodicalId":48304,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"64 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.2,"publicationDate":"2025-06-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/bjso.12909","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144244885","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Further, we tested the moderating role of callous-unemotional traits, hypothesizing that moral judgements and decisions to punish may differ among individuals who are less emotionally responsive, as they are less likely to sympathize with victims. Our findings revealed that greater empathy for victims intensified punitive attitudes towards aggressors, primarily mediated by participants' negative evaluations of the aggressor. Notably, such empathic inclinations were less prevalent among individuals with higher levels of callous-unemotional traits, as reflected by their lower concern for victims and greater inclination towards harsh punishments.
