In Study 1 (n = 315), we examined the dehumanization of the transgressor while manipulating their intentions (good vs. bad) and the consequences of their actions. In Study 2 (n = 341), we focused on the dehumanization of the victim, and we manipulated the transgressor's intentions and transgressor–bystander closeness. Intentions significantly influenced humanness attributions in both cases. Transgressors with good intentions were less dehumanized than those with bad intentions, regardless of consequences. Moreover, having good intentions increased the dehumanization of the victim, independently of closeness. These effects were serially mediated by the greater likability and the attribution of a positive moral character to the transgressor. Our findings have implications for understanding social conflict, justice, and interpersonal evaluations.","PeriodicalId":48377,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"56 2","pages":"437-452"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ejsp.70040","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147563581","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 offers a novel perspective by examining behaviour change as a threat to self-continuity (i.e., the perceived stability of one's self-image over time). Specifically, we tested the hypothesis that perceived self-discontinuity undermines motivation to change and self-reported behaviour change by reinforcing prior self-identities and inhibiting the formation of new ones. This hypothesis was tested across four studies on smoking behaviour, using well-powered samples of regular smokers (NTotal = 1936). Studies 1 and 2 provided correlational and longitudinal support for the hypothesized indirect effect. Studies 3 and 4 used experimental manipulations to enhance perceived self-continuity, which increased ex-smoker identity and, in turn, engagement in cessation behaviours. These findings highlight that resistance to change is not only rooted in the need to maintain a positive self-image but also in the motivation to maintain a stable sense of self.","PeriodicalId":48377,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"56 2","pages":"316-330"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ejsp.70044","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147565234","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}

In three experiments in Germany and the United States, participants evaluated identical research reports that varied only in the intergroup context—racial (Blacks/Whites) or ideological (liberals/conservatives)—and in which group appeared cognitively superior. Leftists/Liberals consistently rated studies favouring liberals over conservatives as more methodologically sound, less biased and more worthy of pursuit than parallel studies reporting Whites outperforming Blacks. Only White US conservatives (but not German rightists or Black US conservatives) showed a ‘mirror image’ pattern. Although both ideological groups’ research evaluations aligned with ideological in-group favouritism, only left-leaning participants tuned their evaluations to what they deemed socially acceptable research. These results contribute to debates over ideological (a)symmetry in lay assessments of contentious research, demonstrate its context dependence and expose a left–right asymmetry in the motivational processes underlying judgements of controversial science.","PeriodicalId":48377,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"56 2","pages":"419-436"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ejsp.70050","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147570342","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}

Such disambiguation efforts are necessary because interpreting findings in terms of conviction versus plausibility judgements can lead to divergent conclusions (e.g., about the rationality of conspiracy believers). In Study 1, most (76.9%) participants who reported complete (dis)agreement with specific conspiracy theories considered that the available evidence definitively proved their position. They also reported being relatively knowledgeable about conspiracy theories—more so than undecided participants—a pattern replicated in Study 2. In Study 3, agreement was more strongly associated with veracity (r = 0.92) than plausibility (r = 0.82) assessments. These findings suggest that extreme scores on agreement scales primarily capture convictions but that such scales capture both constructs. Finally, the absence of moderation by subjective knowledge for robust correlates of conspiracy beliefs in Study 2, together with the strong intercorrelations in Study 3, suggests that these conceptual distinctions might have limited empirical implications and do not fundamentally question the validity of past research. That said, future research should acknowledge the heterogeneity of self-reported conspiracy beliefs when interpreting findings and designing measures.\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":48377,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"56 2","pages":"385-401"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2026-03-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147570149","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}

To examine the nature of the experimenter's influence, we analysed the experimenter's non-procedural interventions in 136 sessions, across four experimental conditions. Results showed that, with a sole exception, Milgram's experimenter used each of his non-procedural interventions in less than half of both fully obedient sessions and the obedient phases of disobedient sessions. In stark contrast, the intervention ‘Please continue’ was used in virtually all obedient sessions as well as the obedient phases of disobedient sessions, and with substantial frequency. Indeed, results also demonstrated that had Milgram defined a session ‘disobedient’ when any standard prod other than ‘Please continue’ is required, the obedience rates obtained would have already been historic. These findings challenge both the neglect of the experimenter's interactional involvement in Milgram's original account and the focus on explicit acts of argumentation, manipulation, order or the forging of common identity in more contemporary research. Instead, the findings are congruent with the hypothesis that the experimenter operated implicitly, via minimal interpersonal gestures. The paper ends by discussing the claim that, belying their minimal content, these gestures may have contributed to obedience by symbolically deleting participants as active agents, and hence, coercing them.","PeriodicalId":48377,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"56 1","pages":"292-306"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-12-12","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ejsp.70033","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146224068","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}

Therefore, a systematic literature search was conducted in Web of Science, PsycINFO, and Google Scholar for experiments testing interventions that could potentially reduce conspiracy beliefs. The present Bayesian three-level meta-analysis with 273 effect sizes from 56 samples (N = 27,996) provides the first comprehensive overview of factors affecting intervention effectiveness, including sample characteristics, intervention design and conspiracy belief features. Although the average intervention effect was small (g = 0.16, 95% CR [0.12, 0.20]), individual effect sizes exhibited substantial variability. Interventions adopting several evidence-based recommendations, such as fact-checking conspiracy claims, tailoring intervention content to specific beliefs and avoiding single-item measures of conspiracy beliefs, can potentially achieve effects exceeding g = 0.3. These findings advance theoretical models on the role of sender, message and recipient characteristics in combating harmful conspiracy beliefs. At the same time, extensive sensitivity analyses revealed that various bias sources might lead to under- or overestimation of certain effects. Furthermore, although study-level risk of bias scores (RoB 2 tool) were unrelated to intervention effectiveness, 82% of the available studies were at high risk of bias. The identified limitations and research gaps, such as the prevalence of underpowered studies and the scarcity of research on long-term intervention effects, provide clear directions for strengthening future intervention research.","PeriodicalId":48377,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"56 1","pages":"275-291"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-12-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ejsp.70041","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146224035","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}

Based on the social identity approach to health, we examined how the average strength of social identification within a group—a measure of the ‘identification environment’—affects group members’ burnout symptoms and moderates the association between their social identification and burnout. We analysed these issues using two samples of lower-secondary-school-age learners (2017: N = 678 schools, 71,392 learners; 2019: N = 704 schools, 85,989 learners). In both years, decreased school identification (i.e., individual level) and weaker identification environment (i.e., group level) were related to increased school burnout. At the individual level, the associations were curvilinear. Furthermore, the identification environment moderated this association in 2019. Our findings underline the importance of the identification environment for well-being and highlight that the social cure process operates at the group level, with the identification environment seemingly protecting against burnout over and above individual school identification.","PeriodicalId":48377,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"56 1","pages":"257-274"},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-12-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ejsp.70032","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146223913","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}
