We developed and validated the Self-Control Ability Scale (SCAS) to measure an individual’s self-perceived ability to withstand temptation, provocation, or social pressure when they conflict with their personal morality. Just published in Justice Quarterly (www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.... ).

People support and expect punishment for vaccination refusal

Using a large experiment in Germany we asked people about their preference to lay off candidates, and their expectations of it. Preferences and expectations to lay off workers who refuse 💉 are considerable

Figure 1 from the article showing differences in layoff preferences and expectations by participants' attitudes toward vaccination

Our study showing that refusing COVID vaccination can impact job security and foster discrimination of low-status groups just came out in Nature's @SciReports.

First, it's interesting to see how vaccination became a social norm 🧐
