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 1.375) 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 1.375) 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 1.375) 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

Institutions of higher education have faced increasing pressure to comply with federal regulations and reform their response to campus sexual assault. This study explores institutions of higher education employees’ perceptions on whether decoupling, or organizational resistance to change, is associated with the number and timing of campus sexual assault reforms adopted. Early captured reforms instituted

Teaching simple heuristics can reduce the exponential growth bias in judging historic CO2 emission growth Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy (IF 1.375) 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 1.375) 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 1.375) 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

Comparison of personality traits of two anti-oppression groups: Vegans and anarchists Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy (IF 1.375) Pub Date : 2024-02-10 Sophie Desjardins, Annabelle Giroux, Dominick Gamache
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

He's to blame, she is lying: Judgments of child sex trafficking survivors Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy (IF 1.375) Pub Date : 2024-02-09 Taylor Petty, Richard L. Wiener
US Federal legislation mandates the treatment of underaged youth induced to sell themselves for commercial sex as victims and not criminal offenders of prostitution laws. Nonetheless, state prosecutors often take action in juvenile court against these youth. This study explored the impact of negative moral emotions, victim blame, and victim believability on public judgments of child sex trafficking

Policy whiplash: How California Title IX coordinators navigated local, state, and federal policy changes during the Trump administration Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy (IF 1.375) Pub Date : 2024-02-06 Shelley J. Eriksen, Rebecca L. Howard Valdivia, Sheetal S. Chib
Federal Title IX policy requires institutions of higher education (IHEs) to prevent and respond to sexual misconduct. Based on 23 in-depth interviews, this study explores California Title IX coordinator experiences at a critical policy juncture—the recension of the Obama-era guidance and the implementation of the Trump administration Title IX rules and regulations—to understand how they responded to

The effects of official reporting and perceived deservingness on evaluations of sexual harassment responses Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy (IF 1.375) 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

Plotting against justice: Conspiracy theory endorsement and opposition to criminal justice reform Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy (IF 1.375) Pub Date : 2024-01-12 Aaron L. Pomerantz, Marie A. Roweton
Conspiracy theories about criminal justice reform are an unexplored domain with unique relationships to system justification and resistance to criminal justice reform. Across two studies, we developed and began to validate a measure of conspiracies about criminal justice reform, the CCJR. The CCJR was predicted by system justification, general conspiracy mentality, and political ideology (Study 1)

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 1.375) 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

The hidden cues of social class: What do people rely on when determining someone else's social class? Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy (IF 1.375) Pub Date : 2023-12-29 Jessica M. Kiebler, Abigail J. Stewart
We aimed to understand the cues individuals use to assess social class, and their relation to social theories. Participant (N = 235) open-ended survey responses were coded in response to the following: “If you can at least sometimes tell if someone is (#1) working-class/poor OR (#2) middle-/upper-class, how can you tell? What are all of the characteristics, behaviors, and/or other indicators that communicate

Health consequences of a death threat: How terrorist attacks impact drinking Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy (IF 1.375) Pub Date : 2023-12-27 Franziska Pradel, Sebastian Sattler
Terrorist attacks, war, violent acts, and their media coverage remind us of our own mortality, which may provoke stress and coping mechanisms. The terror management health model (TMHM) proposes that even subliminal thoughts about existential threats trigger worldview defense and self-esteem-related behaviors. Based on the TMHM, our field experiment (N = 228) examines the impact of a terrorist attack

Prosecutors’ considerations when initiating plea bargaining Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy (IF 1.375) Pub Date : 2023-12-25 Casey N. Tisdale, Ashley M. Votruba
Prosecutors are the key decision-makers when it comes to plea bargaining, which is responsible for the resolution of about 90% of criminal cases. We distributed a mixed-method survey to a national sample of 180 prosecutors to ask about their key considerations when initiating and prosecuting a criminal case. Additionally, the survey asked prosecutors to provide any information they wanted to share

Mindsets of poverty: Implications for redistributive policy support Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy (IF 1.375) Pub Date : 2023-09-19 Crystal L. Hoyt, Jeni L. Burnette, Joseph Billingsley, Whitney Becker, Alexandra D. Babij
Belief systems impact poverty reduction efforts, as they can enhance, or diminish, support for redistributive economic policies. We examined the predictive utility of mindsets about the changeability (growth mindsets) or the stability (fixed mindsets) of the nature of poverty in society. We conducted six studies, two pre-registered, using both cross-sectional (N = 763) and experimental methods (N =

What do voters know, and why does it matter? Investigating issue-specific knowledge and candidate choice in the 2020 U.S. primaries Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy (IF 1.375) Pub Date : 2023-09-18 Peter Beattie, Jovan Milojevich
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

Are we what parties we support? Personality traits and party support in a multi-party system Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy (IF 1.375) Pub Date : 2023-09-15 Hanna E. Björkstedt, Kaisa M. Herne
There is relatively little evidence about the association of personality to political behavior in multi-party systems. We analyze the association of two personality traits to party support in a multi-party system, where parties are differently aligned along the economic left-right axis and the GAL-TAN axis, that extends from green, alternative and libertarian to traditional, authoritarian and nationalist

Countering anti-democratic policies in democracies: The importance of value-oriented citizenship Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy (IF 1.375) Pub Date : 2023-09-13 Stefano Passini
Living in democratic systems may lead the citizens of those countries to be less vigilant of the policies enforced by their governments, with the risk of endorsing anti-democratic measures. Rights violations can indeed occur even in a democratic country. The aim of the present research is to understand whether people tend to be more accepting of repressive police actions when they occur in a country

Unvaccinated and left out: The mismatch of vaccine supply and demand during COVID-19 as a source of interpersonal and societal exclusion Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy (IF 1.375) Pub Date : 2023-08-25 Melissa Jauch, Christiane M. Büttner, Elianne A. Albath, Rainer Greifeneder
At the beginning of the COVID-19 vaccination campaign, many countries faced a mismatch between the demand and supply of vaccines. Particularly in countries where different rights were granted to vaccinated and unvaccinated individuals, this situation may have fostered what we here refer to as policy-induced feelings of social exclusion. Using data from Germany in spring 2021, we investigate how individuals’

Does framing climate change policies to fit with epistemic needs for predictability reduce conservatives’ opposition? Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy (IF 1.375) Pub Date : 2023-08-24 Joris Lammers, Anna Schulte, Matthew Baldwin
A short-term obstacle to united political action to fight climate change in various countries is opposition to pro-environmental policies among conservatives. Three preregistered studies test the hypothesis that because conservatives have a higher need for closure than liberals (Hypothesis 1), framing pro-environmental policies in a way that appeals to the need for closure, reduces conservatives’ opposition

Negation bias in communicating Asian American stereotypes Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy (IF 1.375) Pub Date : 2023-08-18 Rayan I. Elahi, Roslyn G. Raser, Jessica M. Benson
Previous literature demonstrates how the use of negations can be used to communicate stereotypic expectations (e.g., the professor is not smart, instead of stupid). In light of the COVID-19 pandemic and increased discrimination against Asian Americans, we tested whether the negation bias is used to communicate stereotypes about Asian Americans. Participants were provided with stereotype-consistent

One nation, under war: Did the language of Fox News and MSNBC converge during the invasion of Ukraine? Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy (IF 1.375) Pub Date : 2023-07-24 Geoffrey Wetherell, Jordan L. Thompson, Isabella Vallejo, Kevin Lanning
Evidence suggests that political differences have increased markedly in the United States in recent decades. Differences may also emerge in the way that partisans express themselves through language, and it is possible that language differences vary in times of crisis and war. In the current work we examined over a decade's worth of transcripts from a liberal (MSNBC) and conservative (Fox) news network

Do they see what he experiences? Objectification and sexual harassment Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy (IF 1.375) Pub Date : 2023-06-23 Richard L. Wiener, Trace C. Vardsveen, Taylor Petty
Two studies tested the hypothesis that men who are sexually objectified during an interview will experience a negative emotion, rate the experience as harassing, and perform badly on tasks compared to un-objectified controls. However, observers who watch videos of objectified experiencers and predictors who read about the interaction will demonstrate stronger effects, with women showing the strongest

What determines incumbent vote in Indonesia? Understanding the roles of economic conditions, religiousness, political ideology, and incumbent performance Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy (IF 1.375) Pub Date : 2023-06-08 Whinda Yustisia, Idhamsyah Eka Putra, Moh Abdul Hakim
This study investigates possible factors leading to voting for a presidential incumbent in Indonesia, a Muslim-majority democratic country. In addition to economic factors, we argue that religious-psychological factors will also play a role. However, they may operate through different mechanisms. Using data from a national survey ( N = 1088), we found some support for our hypotheses. We found that

Employment, collective action, and satisfaction: the moderating role of acceptance of inequality Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy (IF 1.375) Pub Date : 2023-06-07 Valeria De Cristofaro, Valerio Pellegrini, Marco Salvati, Luigi Leone, Mauro Giacomantonio
The present work proposes that the relation of employment conditions (i.e., unemployment and precarious work vs. permanent employment) with participation in collective action and satisfaction with life depends on the extent to which acceptance of inequality is high or low, and that collective action mediates the association between employment conditions and satisfaction with life. We analyzed data

From passerby to ally: Testing an intervention to challenge attributions for poverty and generate support for poverty-reducing policies and allyship Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy (IF 1.375) Pub Date : 2023-05-24 Maitland W. Waddell, Stephen C. Wright, Jonathan Mendel, Odilia Dys-Steenbergen, McKenzie Bahrami
Despite the ubiquity of poverty, its causes remain largely misunderstood and many attribute poverty to individual shortcomings. This stigma not only predicts negative physical and mental health outcomes for those living in poverty, it also psychologically distances them from the economically advantaged. Thus, solutions to the problem of poverty should include efforts to reduce stigma among the economically

Should health communication regarding COVID-19 emphasize self- or other-focused impacts of mitigation behaviors? Insights from two message matching studies Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy (IF 1.375) Pub Date : 2023-05-22 Ian O'Dowd, Keven Joyal-Desmarais, Alexandra Scharmer, Ashley Walters, Mark Snyder
Mask-wearing, social distancing, and vaccination remain effective ways to mitigate the spread of COVID-19. Yet, many hesitate to enact some or all these preventive behaviors. We created three persuasive messages—framed to promote benefits to either (1) oneself, (2) close-others, or (3) distant-others—to determine whether the effectiveness of these messages varied based on personality differences (specifically

Misogyny, authoritarianism, and climate change Analyses of Social Issues and Public Policy (IF 1.375) Pub Date : 2023-05-18 Nitasha Kaul, Tom Buchanan
Globally, democratic politics are under attack from Electorally Legitimated Misogynist Authoritarian (ELMA) leaders who successfully use misogyny as a political strategy and present environmental concern in feminine and inferior terms. The ascendancy of such projects raise questions involving socioeconomic structures, political communication, and the psychological underpinnings of people's attitudes

Voting is highly valued in democratic societies. However, in recent years there has been a marked decline in voting. To realign voting behavior with democratic values, we turn to the study of injunctive-norm interventions. These interventions advance that by making injunctive norms, the norms representing collective values, salient to a targeted group of individuals, individuals will likely conform

The government has been asserting efforts to control the pandemic's infection rate by influencing people to comply with the health protocols. While these efforts aim to change people's behavior, behavior approaches like nudge are under-utilized, which thus motivates this paper. Nudge is the form of persuasion where a simple and subtle trigger is applied to encourage expected behavior. We conducted
