Sex guilt refers to a feeling of shame or anxiety induced by sexual behavior due to the inconsistency between a person's value and their sexuality. Sex guilt often stems from traditional, gender stereotypical sexual views and attitudes. In this study, we inquired what factors could be predicting sex guilt. Negative sexual messaging (NSM) refers to the promotion of abstinence and the glorification of

Anti‐egalitarianism motivates denial of male privilege Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy (IF 1.8) Pub Date : 2024-09-03 Darren E. J. Austin, Mathew D. Marques, Arthur A. Stukas
Men are privileged economically, politically, and socially, yet some deny this. Previous research suggests that denial of privilege can help to manage the discomfort associated with a privileged identity, but we propose that it serves primarily to preserve privilege. In two preregistered studies (Ntotal = 911 Australian participants) we show that denial of male privilege is not unique to men and that

Do I have to blame the perpetrator if I can't blame the victim anymore? Bystander responsibility in contact sexual violence scenarios Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy (IF 1.8) Pub Date : 2024-08-30 Adam J. Beam, Lauren N. Jordan, Katherine E. Purdom, C. Veronica Smith
Sexual violence is far too common in the U.S. and across the world (Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 2014). Bystander interventions are one type of intervention that aim to reduce contact sexual violence incidence as well as other problematic features of sexual violence like victim blame. Despite bystander intervention popularity, research has yet to address what people think about bystanders

That's my autocrat: Self‐uncertainty elevates support for autocratic leadership during Canada's Freedom Convoy Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy (IF 1.8) Pub Date : 2024-08-08 Kathryn M. Kincaid, Angela C. Ma, David E. Rast, Michael A. Hogg
Canada's 2022 Freedom Convoy protests and blockades caused significant disruption, and many Canadians advocated for strong, forceful, and even autocratic responses from their government. In democratic nations, autocratic leadership is typically seen as undesirable and receives less support than democratic leadership. However, when group members experience significant identity‐related self‐uncertainty

Scrutiny about and controversy regarding the use of college admissions tests have increased since COVID‐19 eliminated mass face‐to‐face testing. At that time, many selective colleges chose to make their admissions decisions without using such tests. More recently, the controversy has been sustained as some selective colleges and universities have reinstated requiring test scores. These tests, primarily

Why are socioeconomic health inequalities unacceptable? Studying the influence of explanatory framings on cognitive appraisals Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy (IF 1.8) Pub Date : 2024-07-30 Emma K. Bridger, Angela Tufte‐Hewett, David Comerford, Daniel Nettle
Studies of aversion to health inequality have found that this is often greater when health outcomes are presented as varying with socioeconomic conditions. We sought to understand better why this is by studying the cognitive appraisals made about health inequality when presented with distinct explanatory framings. Across two pre‐registered studies (N = 1321), UK and US participants judged the acceptability

Polarizing effects of the coronavirus pandemic on system justification: A natural experiment involving New York City college students Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy (IF 1.8) Pub Date : 2024-07-24 Eduardo J. Rivera Pichardo, Sushmeena A. Parihar, John T. Jost
Previous research suggests that societal threats often increase ideological support for the social system, but the attitudinal effects of COVID‐19 seem to have varied greatly. Here we present the results of a natural experiment involving New York City college students (Total N = 1300 observations). One group (n = 835) completed questionnaires before the onset of COVID‐19, while another completed them

Rethinking climate change vulnerabilities after COVID‐19: Recommendations for social science‐based interventions drawn from research on Conspiracy Theories and Diversity Science Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy (IF 1.8) Pub Date : 2024-07-11 Aurélien Graton, Oriane Sarrasin, Olivier Klein, Jonathon P. Schuldt
Scholars have noted several connections between the COVID‐19 pandemic and the climate crisis, ranging from the material influence of the pandemic on climate change processes (e.g., how lockdowns temporarily lowered climate emissions) to the similar ways the crises have been managed. Both crises are also global in scope, have exerted a significant toll on human lives and require major changes in our

The identities of employed students: Striving to reduce distinctiveness from the typical student Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy (IF 1.8) Pub Date : 2024-05-17 Vladislav H. Grozev, Matthew J. Easterbrook
Endorsement of the employed student identity can provide social support for employed students or protection from negative intergroup comparisons. However, not much is known about what identity aspects or characteristics comprise the employed student identity and how they become important and central to that identity. Using data from 215 employed university students in the UK, we investigated two research

The baggage and the benefits that travel with the F word: Transnational feminism and its discontents Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy (IF 1.8) Pub Date : 2024-05-15 Özge Savaş, Lauren E. Duncan, Hanna M. Smith, Abigail J. Stewart
We examined how locally situated and transnationally circulated meanings of feminism interact forming implicit cultural meanings, and how these meanings about feminism appear in women's accounts of their own work and identifications. Using twenty‐four oral histories, we identified four implicit cultural meanings about feminism: (1) “Mainstream” feminism is/as white and middle‐class; (2) Feminists are

Adaptation or transformation? A system‐justification perspective on pro‐environmental beliefs and behaviors Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy (IF 1.8) Pub Date : 2024-05-06 Johann Suchier, Christophe Demarque, Fabien Girandola
Despite the need for profound systemic change to deal with environmental issues, this is not happening. At a psycho‐sociological level, System Justification Theory has mostly explained environmental inaction by greater environmental denial on the part of individuals motivated to justify the economic system. In this article, and in line with research in political science and sociology, we propose to

Attributing extreme weather to climate change: State Park employees as institutional actors Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy (IF 1.8) Pub Date : 2024-04-23 Trevor S. Lies, Syed Muhammad Omar, Alyssia Roennengart, Glenn Adams, Byron Santangelo
Researchers in environmental psychology celebrate the potential for state and national parks to inspire civic engagement in the issue of climate change. Yet, prevailing conceptions of nature may reflect ongoing colonial concerns, such that parks may represent a space to avoid thinking about—rather than reckon with—escalating ecological crises. In this paper, we approach the topic of climate change

Pervasive and pernicious underestimation of Asian Americans' support for affirmative action Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy (IF 1.8) Pub Date : 2024-03-29 Nicholas P. Alt, Jin X. Goh
Polling data show that 69% of Asian American voters favor affirmative action. However, Asian Americans were featured prominently by the organization Students for Fair Admissions, which played a central role in the Supreme Court's decision to overturn affirmative action. This may distort people's estimates of Asian Americans’ support for affirmative action. Two studies (N = 695) found that people, even

A critical activist orientation predicts lower latent ableist bias Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy (IF 1.8) Pub Date : 2024-03-21 C. Donnan Gravelle, Jeremy E. Sawyer, Gavin Rualo, Patricia J. Brooks
Despite legal efforts to reduce societal barriers, people with disabilities still face ableist bias, stereotyping, and stigma. According to the social movement hypothesis, people's participation in and identification with activist movements may reduce bias towards social outgroups. Alternatively, people's intergroup attitudes and bias may influence their participation in activist activities. This study

Victim‐survivors’ proposed solutions to addressing image‐based sexual abuse in the U.S.: Legal, corporate, educational, technological, and cultural approaches Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy (IF 1.8) Pub Date : 2024-03-11 Asia A. Eaton, Michelle A. Krieger, Jaclyn A. Siegel, Abbey M. Miller
Sexual violence is a world‐wide health problem that has begun to escalate in online and virtual spaces. One form of technology‐facilitated sexual violence that has grown in recent years is image‐based sexual abuse (IBSA), or the nonconsensual creation, distribution, and/or threat of distribution of nude or sexual images. Using a trauma‐informed and victim‐centered framework, we asked victim‐survivors

Neoliberal logic in the United States and Turkey: The role of Right‐Wing Authoritarianism and personal wherewithal Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy (IF 1.8) Pub Date : 2024-03-09 Melodi Var Öngel, Brandin Ali, Ella Ben Hagai, Eileen L. Zurbriggen
Neoliberalism is based on the dogma that free‐market capitalism serves the public better than governmental programs (e.g., public universities). In this research, we first asked what psychological orientations and beliefs predict support for one of the fundamental tenets of neoliberalism: the belief that government interferes with the smooth functioning of public life and the free market. Second, we

The direct and indirect effects of social rejection during school years on social dominance orientation Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy (IF 1.8) Pub Date : 2024-03-08 Rotem Maor
Social dominance orientation (SDO) refers to the degree to which people support the superiority of an ingroup over outgroups and oppose equality. It has been consistently found to be a strong predictor of negative attitudes toward disadvantaged groups. Therefore, understanding the factors that predict SDO might be the first step in reducing negative attitudes toward these groups and promoting equality

Teaching simple heuristics can reduce the exponential growth bias in judging historic CO2 emission growth Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy (IF 1.8) Pub Date : 2024-02-29 Joris Lammers, Jan Crusius
Across the last 150 years, global CO2 emissions have grown at an increasing, exponential pace. Based on the well‐documented tendency to underestimate such exponential growth, we hypothesize and test in three studies (total N = 1796, including one nationally representative US sample) that people would fail to understand the historical, exponential growth of global CO2 emissions. However, we also show

Radicalizing safety: A critical narrative analysis to abolish the police Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy (IF 1.8) Pub Date : 2024-02-26 David Drustrup, Raneem Hamad, Jae Young Kim, Saba Rasheed Ali
The dominant narrative in much of the world is that public safety is provided by policing, evidenced by supportive rhetoric from institutional forces including politicians, media, and large budget allocations in all levels of government. Alongside a long history of police violence, especially against Black, Brown, poor, and other marginalized people, many social movements reject the idea that policing

Immigrant's death at the border: Do they influence White and Latinx Americans’ belief in the American dream? Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy (IF 1.8) Pub Date : 2024-02-21 Alexa Vega Rivas, Ella Ben Hagai, Christine Starr
In this study, we test a clashing narrative approach to conflict, which argues that political conflict is based on opposing narratives that negate one another. We focus on the role of two master narratives central to political schism in the United States. The first is the American dream narrative, which posits that anyone who works hard can become successful in the United States. The opposing narrative

Veganism and anarchism are burgeoning worldwide, yet very few studies have examined the psychological characteristics of people belonging to these two anti-oppression groups. The present study investigated whether vegans and anarchists, on the one hand, and activists and non-activists belonging to these two groups, on the other hand, exhibit distinct personality profiles. To this end, a sample of 180

The effects of official reporting and perceived deservingness on evaluations of sexual harassment responses Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy (IF 1.8) Pub Date : 2024-01-16 Ruth H. Warner, Eyad J. Naseralla, Hailey A. Hatch
Previous research suggests that individuals may not report sexual harassment for a variety of reasons. There is evidence that women who report and do not report sexual harassment both face negative evaluations. The current studies investigated a potential explanation for these contradictory findings—the perceived deservingness of consequences for the alleged harasser. Across three studies, we examined

The partisan pandemic: Applying the reasoned action approach to understand the effects of politicizing a public health crisis Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy (IF 1.8) Pub Date : 2024-01-03 Shay Xuejing Yao, Dustin Carnahan, Nancy Rhodes
It is well-established that news outlets cater to audiences with particular political leanings and present news about important events, such as disease outbreaks, differently. However, the mechanisms through which selected media exposure influences behavior are not well established. Two surveys examined the roles of attitudes and social norms as pathways through which political predispositions (political

Are differences in issue-specific knowledge associated with different candidate preferences, as would be expected if voters are judging candidates and their policy commitments on the basis of essential contextual knowledge they receive from the media? By utilizing a bias-sensitive method of measuring politically relevant knowledge—on economic, foreign policy, and environmental issues—we were able to
