However, previous studies highlight the need to adapt these interventions to specific populations, particularly non-WEIRD ones, to achieve effective results. To our knowledge, this is the first study to use a mixed-methods participatory approach to develop self-affirmation techniques tailored to the threats Syrian forced migrants face during acculturation in European host societies. In the first qualitative study, 30 in-depth interviews explored threats encountered during acculturation, their negative effects and spontaneous self-affirmation mechanisms used to preserve well-being and self-image. A second experimental study assessed the effectiveness of tailored self-affirmation interventions. Three hundred and thirteen participants reported their acculturation orientations, read a threat-inducing text and were then assigned to one of three self-affirmation conditions (host-domain, heritage-domain or individual) or a control condition. We then measured hedonic well-being, self-esteem and a challenged sense of belonging. Contrast analysis showed that combined self-affirmation interventions enhanced hedonic well-being compared to control, particularly when aligned with individuals' acculturation orientations. Our studies contribute to the literature by developing culturally grounded interventions for a specific underrepresented population using mixed methods. Future research should test their effectiveness with similar forced migrant populations and continue adapting interventions to fit diverse cultural contexts and interindividual differences.","PeriodicalId":48304,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"65 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148165081","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}

In Study 1 (10–12 years old, N = 165), participants' social inclusion was experimentally manipulated using a modified version of the Cyberball paradigm that varied the number of ball tosses, after which they were asked about their willingness to contribute resources to the common pool in the PGG. In Study 2 (10–11 years old, N = 249), social inclusion was measured in a naturalistic context by assessing children's interactions with peers in their class and their actual contributions in the PGG at two time points, 1 week apart. In both studies, children who experienced higher levels of social inclusion within the group were more willing to contribute to the group, even at a personal cost, compared with children experiencing lower levels of social inclusion. Together, these findings deepen our understanding of how social inclusion within the group shapes prosocial behaviour during middle childhood—a pivotal period in social development.","PeriodicalId":48304,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"65 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/bjso.70105","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148165131","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}

The current study examines online fear speech used by competing political candidates in the pre-electoral period during the 2021 State Assembly Elections in West Bengal, India. Using qualitative content analysis, we coded 391 publicly available Facebook posts on the group and personal accounts of the candidates, during the 3 weeks leading up to the elections. The analysis focused on the types and intensity of fear speech, its use across constituencies and party candidates, and how existing communal and partisan threats were appraised using fear speech. Findings highlight the strategic use of violent vs. non-violent fear speech representing the socio-political history of the context and the cultural values represented by each party, and the affordances of social media as a platform for political and electoral campaigning and collective mobilization.","PeriodicalId":48304,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"65 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148158599","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}

Using data from a large national sample (N ~ 30,000) of Hindus, Muslims, Christians, Sikhs and Buddhists in the rarely studied context of India, we found that an inclusive and tolerant conception of Indian national identity was strongly endorsed among all groups, while an exclusive Hindu national identity was more strongly endorsed by the Hindu majority than religious minorities. Interreligious contact avoidance was consistently higher among all groups in the context of marriage than neighbours. Multigroup path analysis revealed that an inclusive national identity was associated with less interreligious avoidance as neighbours among majority and minority groups (except Buddhists), but it was unrelated to interreligious avoidance in the domain of marriage among all (except Sikhs). By contrast, an exclusive national identity was associated with more contact avoidance both as neighbours and through marriage among majority and minority religious groups (except Muslims).

We found that participants who watched the inclusive campaign reported the strongest pro-inclusivity attitudes, advocacy intentions for minority group members in gym environments and intentions to exercise two weeks later. We found that members of the gym responsible for the inclusive campaign perceived their gym to be more inclusive and were less than half as likely to have experienced discrimination in the gym in the past two weeks, relative to active members of other gyms. Most people engaged well with the inclusive campaign, but non-members were less likely to believe it reflected the reality of the gym experience, with some seeing it as merely a cynical marketing ploy.

In this paper, we examine whether pre-war contact opportunity with the adversary group shapes the relationship between post-war intergroup contact and willingness to engage with the adversary group, measured at two post-war time points. We operationalize pre-war contact opportunity objectively, using pre-war census data on adversary group share. We analyse data from two studies conducted in post-war Bosnia and Herzegovina. Study 1, conducted approximately 10 years after the war's outbreak (N = 1967), demonstrates that post-war intergroup contact is more strongly associated with contact willingness among individuals who, before the war, lived in municipalities with higher contact opportunity. Study 2, conducted more than 30 years after the war, does not provide evidence for the same moderating pattern (N = 330), but supplementary analyses indicate persistent significant yet attenuated effects of contact opportunity. These findings highlight the relevance of the pre-conflict social context and temporal dynamics for understanding intergroup contact effects in post-conflict societies.","PeriodicalId":48304,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"65 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-05-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC13184366/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147976460","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}

This study investigates biases among German police officers (N = 208) towards individuals perceived as Arab.

These biases closely mirrored those found in a civilian convenience sample (N = 237), with one notable difference: police officers showed significantly greater distrust towards Arab individuals than civilians. This heightened distrust was mediated by social dominance orientation and negative perceptions of intergroup contact. Additionally, internal motivation to suppress prejudice was as a strong predictor of both group preference and distrust in both samples.

However, less is known about (1) how anomie relates to normative, for example legal, political actions and (2) why anomie is related to political actions in general. In a nationally representative sample from Germany and three preregistered experiments conducted in the United States (total N = 2379), we tested whether and why anomie is related to normative and non-normative political actions. As hypothesized, anomie decreases intentions to engage in normative actions via perceived lack of political control. Moreover, correlational and causal evidence indicates that the link between anomie and non-normative action is explained sequentially by lack of political control and political uncertainty, suggesting that such actions may reflect a quest for significance and meaning. In conclusion, our findings show that anomie may pose a twofold threat to political systems and help explain why: Anomie can reduce normative political participation via lack of political control and increase non-normative, radical political actions via a sequential pathway from lack of political control to uncertainty.","PeriodicalId":48304,"journal":{"name":"British Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"65 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.0,"publicationDate":"2026-05-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147943290","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}
