In this work, we examined which psychological intergroup interventions could increase public opposition to war. Building on research showing that instrumental reasoning and social identification are central, though not exhaustive, predictors of war-related attitudes, we designed seven theoretically grounded, social media-based interventions and tested their effectiveness in an intervention tournament conducted during the January 2025 ceasefire in the Israel–Gaza war, with a sample of Jewish Israelis (N = 1237). One intervention—emphasizing Israel's potential losses if the war continued (achievements-driven loss aversion)—increased support for ending the war across participants. A second intervention—grouping Jewish Israelis by war-related attitudes rather than political identification (attitude-based recategorization)—was effective primarily among left-leaning participants. These findings demonstrate that carefully designed brief message-based interventions can influence public opinion and promote de-escalation, even amid violent conflict.","PeriodicalId":48377,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"56 5","pages":"885-902"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ejsp.70082","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148696519","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 cluster solution was then further validated in a social media-based convenience sample (N = 772). Four conspiracy theory endorsement clusters with distinct profiles were identified and validated across the samples. Participants who belonged to more conspiracy theory-endorsing clusters held more pseudoscientific beliefs and had lower political trust than participants in the less conspiracy theory-endorsing clusters. Mixed results were found concerning demographic differences. The results provide strong evidence for the existence of four conspiracy theory endorsement profiles and support the notion of a general conspiracy mindset.","PeriodicalId":48377,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"56 5","pages":"861-872"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ejsp.70080","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148696535","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}

Social identity threat—the expectation of experiencing some form of denigration based on a self-relevant group identity—is thought to be a major driver of affective polarisation. Using a six-wave longitudinal survey of 470 American liberals and conservatives, we investigated the impact of social identity threat on affective polarisation, perceived stress and self-rated health. Using random intercept cross-lagged panel models (RI-CLPMs), we found that higher-than-usual identity threat predicted subsequent increases in affective polarisation (β = 0.09, p = 0.025). There were no direct cross-lagged effects of social identity threat on perceived stress or self-rated health. However social identity threat was correlated at the between-person level with stress (r = 0.25, p = < 0.001) and health (r = −0.17, p = 0.002). These findings replicate and expand on existing research by utilising a design suited for causal inference, to shed light on how identity threats and the expectation of prejudice influence intergroup relations and affective polarisation. While social identity threat plays a significant role in worsening affective polarisation, its effects on perceived stress and health are unclear. Further research is recommended to explore interventions aimed at mitigating social identity threats and polarisation, and further clarifying their potential health consequences.","PeriodicalId":48377,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"56 5","pages":"873-884"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ejsp.70081","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148696480","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 present research examines how individuals cope with growing threats from robots by affirming hierarchical structures. Across three studies (total N = 1128), we found that perceived robot threat increased a preference for hierarchy by eroding perceived control. Specifically, Study 1 demonstrated that exposure to news portraying high robot threats decreased personal control, thereby increasing hierarchical preferences. Study 2 provided causal evidence for this underlying mechanism by experimentally manipulating both robot threat and perceived control. Further, Study 3 identified that the perceived orderliness of the social system buffered this effect. Theoretically, the present research explores the psychological consequences of robot threat and extends compensatory control theory. Practically, our findings highlight the potential role of robots in exacerbating social inequality and underscore the effective buffering function of emphasizing social system orderliness.\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48377,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"56 5","pages":"829-840"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148696048","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}

Multigroup structural equation modelling showed that relative deprivation was consistently positively associated with all three emotions. However, only anger and institutional distrust serially mediated its link to populist beliefs in every country, and this effect was larger for anti-elitism than for people sovereignty. Cross-country differences emerged in how external political inefficacy related to emotions and how emotions related to distrust. Although anger and distrust formed a stable pathway to populism, the mediation paths involving sadness and fear varied across contexts. Overall, these findings clarify when and how political affect and institutional evaluations help channel grievances into populism, highlighting both shared and context-dependent mechanisms.","PeriodicalId":48377,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"56 5","pages":"811-828"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-08-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ejsp.70073","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148696146","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}

Herein, we investigate how historical propaganda images glorifying Adolf Hitler influence these feelings. Prior scholars have raised concerns that such materials might communicate distorted images of the past to future generations. Four studies (two preliminary, two confirmatory; Ntotal = 429) imply that these critics might be rightfully worried: Germans expressed weaker guilt when pictorial reminders of the atrocities committed during the Nazis' reign were mixed with glorifying propaganda images. A fifth study (N = 642) does not replicate this effect. An integrative analysis broadening the scope of considered emotions, however, implies that glorifying propaganda images may be doubly vicious: they reduce negative and enhance positive emotions experienced after reminders of atrocities. Surprisingly, snapshots from everyday life of that time likewise amplified happiness, but were less effective antidotes to negative emotions.","PeriodicalId":48377,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"56 4","pages":"774-792"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ejsp.70071","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148153237","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}

However, so far there is no simultaneous test of these two assumed properties. Assuming that evaluative information influences affective states, we tested these properties for people's self-reported affective states in a preregistered experience-sampling study. For 5–6 days, five times per day, 453 participants reported currently feeling good versus bad, before freely describing their current affective state (9413 data points). Participants reported more positive than negative affective states, supporting positivity prevalence. In the preregistered analyses, negative descriptors were also relatively more diverse—however, evidence for negativity diversity depended on the analytic method, thereby providing mixed support for negativity diversity.","PeriodicalId":48377,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"56 4","pages":"713-725"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ejsp.70070","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148153220","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}

Across two experiments (total N = 783), contrasting a newly developed threat of exclusion condition with the standard exclusion and standard inclusion condition using Cyberball, results showed that the threat of exclusion (relative to inclusion and exclusion) is characterized by elevated fear and hope, intermediate need satisfaction and specific ball toss behaviour promoting both inclusive (reciprocity) and exclusive bonds (bias), possibly to avoid that the threat of exclusion becomes a reality.
