We hypothesize that having an imbalanced sex ratio in society (with either an abundance of adult men or women) increases the support for a strong leader, because people find such imbalances threatening to themselves and to society. We tested our hypothesis with five preregistered experimental studies and one archival study. In the five online scenario studies (total <em>N</em>=2249), we manipulated the operational sex ratios within a fictitious country and measured both explicit leader preferences (ideal leader traits) and implicit preferences (facial cues of leaders). The results showed that a male-biased sex ratio (abundance of men) robustly increased the preference for a strong leader across all studies, but the effects of a female-biased sex ratio (abundance of women) were smaller and not consistent. Furthermore, a male-biased sex ratio in society activated the impression that society is a competitive, dangerous place. Overall, the studies enhance our understanding of the impact of an ecological factor, the sex ratio in society, on the support for political leadership.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72748,"journal":{"name":"Current research in ecological and social psychology","volume":"6 ","pages":"Article 100175"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666622723000886/pdfft?md5=a290879a1c16e4cf195b03f1efef5713&pid=1-s2.0-S2666622723000886-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138570672","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Building on theories of emotional appraisal and decision-making, we examine how physical and moral disgust differentially affect consumers’ identity and compensatory consumption. An internal meta-analysis of eight studies we conducted shows that feelings of disgust threaten different aspects of self-identity, which in turn trigger various forms of compensatory consumption. In particular, we hypothesize and find that physical disgust decreases consumers’ sense of power, which prompts them to act in a self-focused way to restore it (e.g., consume conspicuously). In contrast, moral disgust decreases consumers’ feelings of belongingness, which prompts them to act prosocially (e.g., donate to charity). Marketers often employ disgusting images to break through the advertising clutter or to scare consumers into doing something (i.e., shockvertising, fear appeals). Our findings suggest that they should closely evaluate which disgust stimuli to use and the specific subconscious and behavioral consequences such images elicit.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72748,"journal":{"name":"Current research in ecological and social psychology","volume":"6 ","pages":"Article 100172"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666622723000850/pdfft?md5=a3e56180b05c66924b4554b934bded50&pid=1-s2.0-S2666622723000850-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138626916","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As of early 2022, NZ public health measures have reduced impacts of the pandemic, but ongoing efforts to limit illness and fatalities will be significantly aided by widescale uptake of available vaccines including COVID-19 booster doses. Decades of research have established a broad range of demographic, social, cognitive, and behavioural factors which influence peoples’ uptake of vaccinations, including a large amount of research in the last two years focused on COVID-19 vaccination in particular. In this study, we surveyed people in New Zealand (<em>N</em> = 660) in May and June of 2021, at which point the vaccine had been made available to high-risk groups. We explored individual versus collective motivations, finding that people who were hesitant about COVID-19 vaccination scored lower on independent self-construals (how people define themselves) but higher on community identity, weaker but still positive perceived social norms, lower general risk of COVID-19 to New Zealanders and higher vaccine risk for both themselves and others, and lower response-efficacy both for personal and collective benefits. Overall, the findings suggest some benefit of collective over individual appeals, but that generally messaging to encourage vaccination should focus on conveying social norms, risk from COVID-19 broadly, and vaccine safety and efficacy.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72748,"journal":{"name":"Current research in ecological and social psychology","volume":"4 ","pages":"Article 100082"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9753451/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9943713","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One factor that may influence mask wearing behavior is the degree to which people believe masks potentially impair emotion recognition. Based on previous research suggesting that there may be cultural differences in facial regions that people in Japan and the United States attend to when inferring a target's emotional state, we predicted that Americans would perceive masks (which cover the mouth) as more likely to impair emotion recognition, whereas Japanese would perceive facial coverings that conceal the eye region (sunglasses) to be more likely to impair emotion recognition. The results showed that Japanese participants reported wearing masks more than Americans. Americans also reported higher expected difficulty in interpreting emotions of individuals wearing masks (vs. sunglasses), while Japanese reported the reverse effect. Importantly, expectations about the negative impact of facial masks on emotion recognition explained cultural differences in mask-wearing behavior, even accounting for existing social norms</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72748,"journal":{"name":"Current research in ecological and social psychology","volume":"4 ","pages":"Article 100089"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9839383/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9589042","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
