„Wenn Menschen an Verschwörungserzählungen glauben, dann haben sie ganz automatisch das Gefühl, über eine Art Geheimwissen zu verfügen“, sagt @rolandimhoff.bsky.social , Professor für Sozial- & Rechtspsychologie an der Gutenberg-Universität in Mainz, am Telefon. „Sie fühlen sich erleuchtet…“

Ihr Mann glaubt an Verschwörungserzählungen, sie will die Beziehung retten
Früher schauten sie gemeinsam Arte-Dokus, heute glaubt er an Chemtrails. Über eine Frau, die versucht, ihren Mann aus den Fängen der Verschwörungsideologie zu retten.

Messerangriff in Hamburg: Ein Held, der nicht sein darf
Muhammad greift beim Messerangriff in Hamburg beherzt ein – und wird zur Zielscheibe rechter Hetze. Warum gerät ein Helfer ins Visier?
Das NDR-Magazin ZAPP hat sich mit dem Fall Muhammad al Muhammad beschäftigt, einem syrischen Geflüchteten, der in einem Akt von Zivilcourage einen Messerangriff unterband -- und sich anschließend Diffamierungen und Verschwörungstheorien ausgesetzt sah.

Sage Journals: Discover world-class research
Subscription and open access journals from Sage, the world's leading independent academic publisher.
🚨New #openaccess paper🚨
A bit over two years ago, Aileen Oeberst and I published a call for more parsimony in bias research (journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...). Shortly thereafter, another paper made a somewhat similar (albeit broader) proposition (journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...)

Can pronouns override appearance?
Verena Heidrich from Mainz explores how people categorize gender when phenotypic cues and pronouns clash. Findings show that strong essentialist beliefs make people cling to binaries, subtyping non-binary identities instead of updating beliefs. #IntersectionalitySGM

In contrast, US Black participants showed only little differentiation between target races with even a slight tendency for greater ingroup categorization. This aligns with the view that marginalized groups may allocate greater cognitive resources to individuating members of dominant social groups.

Results for the d parameter of social categorization strength: White participants exhibit markedly greater categorization of Black compared to White target speakers. Black participants show an attenuated pattern i nthe same direction.
Result from our registered Report suggest that minority and majority members do not lump the respective Outgroup and individuate the Ingroup (a cross-race effect) symmetrically. Specifically, White US American showed an greater categorization of Black than White targets in a Who-Said-What Paradigm.

"Through the lens of race: Accounting for majority-minority relations in cross-race categorization and individuation". Do majority members (White) categorize minority members (Black) more than vice versa? Or is categorization symmetrical? authors.elsevier.com/c/1lDlX51f8w...

The paper has a taste of shameless self-citation-ism, but -to my defense- the journal seeks to publish "publishes theoretical chapters that review and integrate previously published findings of a research program by an individual scholar."

Law and order, magical spirits, and false flag operations
Frenken & Imhoff (2025) in Political Psychology
Our findings only partially supported this hypothesis, revealing a category of authoritarian, non-spiritual conspiracy adherents (approximately 6% of the samples), while spiritual conspiracy believers (about 3%) also displayed significant levels of authoritarianism. Paper: doi.org/10.1111/pops...

...with strong conspiracy beliefs using quota-based samples from Germany (graciously supplied by @cemas.io): one in the alternative spectrum (exhibiting profound spiritual or esoteric convictions) and the other in the conservative spectrum (demonstrating high authoritarian tendencies).

However, during the protests against COVID-19 restrictions, it became evident that both ends of the spectrum share a commonality in viewing the world as being controlled by malevolent forces (conspiratorial thinking). We explored the notion that there exist two distinct groups of people...

Many individuals tend to associate spirituality with socially liberal and alternative ways of life, whereas authoritarianism is often linked to conservative, right-wing environments.

Männer sind durchsetzungsstark, Frauen fürsorglich und Bibliothekare schüchtern. Diese oder ähnliche Stereotype schlummern in den meisten von uns. Warum eigentlich?
Das und mehr besprechen wir in der neuen Folge unseres Podcast mit Prof. Dr. Roland Imhoff, der zur kognitiven HuDi forscht.
