The results showed that relative deprivation predicted changes in displaced aggression through concurrent changes in levels of hostile attribution bias and moral disengagement. Hostile attribution bias and moral disengagement could predict each other longitudinally. The relationships between relative deprivation and displaced aggression, and relative deprivation and hostile attribution bias were mutual.

Each paper within the collection is focused on the topic of inequality within the field of psychology, and one paper has been selected or commissioned by each Editor from all of the BPS portfolio journals. This is the third of the BPS journal's annual landmark editions. In keeping with our 2022 landmark edition on Diversity, we, as Editors, decided to present papers from our subdisciplines on another theme both relevant to society as whole and an area to which we feel psychological knowledge can bring understanding and therefore the potential for change.</p><p>Inequality refers to the unequal or unjust distribution of resources and opportunities amongst members of society. Inequality permeates throughout our world, on a global level between different countries but also on a more local level within countries, communities and organizations. Inequality can be overt or more subtle. It is influenced by a whole range of factors including race, gender, sexuality, disability, education, wealth and social class, and many of these factors feature within the papers from this edition.</p><p>The BPS as an organization and ourselves as BPS Journal Editors are committed to improving equality of access. The BPS aims to reduce inequality within the discipline and profession of psychology and to work to eradicate discriminatory practice. As Editors, we want to encourage submissions from researchers from non-Western countries, from Black and other ethnic minority groups, from women, from people with disabilities and others who have traditionally found it harder to succeed in the academic world. For us, reducing inequality means having editorial board members and peer reviewers from diverse backgrounds. We also use the process of double-blind peer review across our journals, and there is recent evidence that this process reduces bias and boosts diverse authorship (Fox et al., <span>2023</span>). Furthermore, we want to continue to publish research on the topic of inequality and topics that are relevant to those who experience inequality in access.</p><p>This is the third special issue of landmark papers from the BPS journals, and presenting these papers together showcases the breath of current psychological science. We believe that psychological science has the potential to develop understanding of inequality and therefore instigate change in thinking and practice towards embracing different influences and reducing the unequal opportunities that people face. We will have already identified a topic for 2024 focused on the United Nations Sustainability Goals, and we hope you will continue to read the work to inspire developments in your research and practice.</p><p>Finally, on behalf of myself and other Editors in Chief for the BPS journals, I would like to take this opportunity to thank those of you who hav","PeriodicalId":9300,"journal":{"name":"British journal of psychology","volume":"114 4","pages":"771-772"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2023-06-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/bjop.12673","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9763363","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 Study 1, U.S. state-level time-series data (2002–2015) supported the first mechanism, with higher temperatures predicting lower volunteer rates through lower well-being. Study 2 furthered the investigation by probing the relationship between neighbourhood temperature and civic engagement of 2268 U.S. citizens. The data partially supported the well-being mechanism and reported findings contradictory to the social embodiment mechanism. Higher temperatures predicted lower interpersonal trust and subsequently lower civic engagement. The unexpected finding hinted at a cognitive effect of heat and a compensatory mechanism in social thermoregulation.

In this paper, we investigate the joint role of two prominent psychological characteristics in explaining this difference. Our starting point is that risk assessments can be thought of, in general terms, to combine beliefs about the probability of negative outcomes occurring with a subjective valuation of how painful that negative outcome would be. Exploiting large-scale panel data from the United Kingdom, we find that gender differences in financial optimism and financial loss aversion – the stronger psychological response to monetary losses than monetary gains – explain a substantial proportion of the parallel gender difference in willingness to take risks.

In this study, we aimed to investigate whether the suppression of unwanted memories can be strengthened by recruiting an inhibitory task that can be simultaneously performed with a memory suppression task. Therefore, we manipulated the level of urinary urgency-induced inhibition of participants (<i>N</i> = 180) and test its effect on the suppression of unwanted memories using a Think/No-Think (T/NT) task. The results of our study indicated that individuals with high levels of urinary urgency demonstrated greater memory suppression compared to those with low urinary urgency.
