Africa is particularly affected owing to infrastructural deficits and the rapidly increasing use of nondegradable materials such as plastics in everyday life. Littering is widespread in many sub-Saharan African countries and contributes to the pollution problem. Psychological research about the factors that explain littering in Africa is scarce. Therefore, we aimed at providing a deeper understanding of littering behavior, its causes, and the role of social norms in the Gambia. We applied a qualitative approach, conducting semi-structured face-to-face interviews (<em>N</em> = 18) to explore inhabitants’ perceptions of the problem. In a reflexive thematic analysis, we identified four main themes to describe littering causes: infrastructure and facilities; awareness and education; attitude and mentality, and social norms and law. The findings suggest that littering persists because of a combination of all these factors. Yet, social norms and the societal framework play a decisive role. Initially, the present negative descriptive norm hinders change. In addition—and maybe even more importantly—a restriction of individuals` feelings of responsibility in public spaces seems to prevent the expression of social pressure against littering and therefore the desired improvement in litter control. Further research is needed to investigate how a shared sense of responsibility could be established and utilized for a cleaner and healthier environment.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72748,"journal":{"name":"Current research in ecological and social psychology","volume":"6 ","pages":"Article 100177"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666622723000904/pdfft?md5=4dd3a845b301bc0449763a27fd0c1ec9&pid=1-s2.0-S2666622723000904-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138839043","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}

To address the first objective, we applied multi-dimensional scaling, and to address the second objective we operationalized value congruence as the difference between people's individual value score and their country-level average, assessing the effect of value congruence by conducting response surface analysis with facets of wellbeing as outcomes and personal and reference-group value priorities as predictors. Data for this study were derived from the Arab Psychology Index (API) which applied a stratified random sampling to obtain representative samples from the participating countries in 2019-2020. Our results indicate that the theorized quasi-circumplex structure of human values could not be replicated in MENA countries and the degree and specific nature of this deviation varies between MENA countries. Study results lend support to the congruence hypothesis, and this was true across the three indicators of wellbeing deployed (flourishing, prosociality, and social relations), although the support was stronger for social relations, less so for proscociality, and least for flourishing. Insights into these findings are offered and theoretical implications of the findings to are discussed.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":72748,"journal":{"name":"Current research in ecological and social psychology","volume":"6 ","pages":"Article 100176"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666622723000898/pdfft?md5=da6be3da63b587378db6a6198ab1ff70&pid=1-s2.0-S2666622723000898-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138839042","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}

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}
