We present four datasets from a project examining the role of politics in social psychological research. These include thousands of independent raters who coded scientific abstracts for political relevance and for whether conservatives or liberals were treated as targets of explanation and characterized in a negative light. Further included are predictions about the empirical results by scientists participating in a forecasting survey, and coded publication outcomes for unpublished research projects varying in political overtones. Future researchers can leverage this corpus to test further hypotheses regarding political values and scientific research, perceptions of political bias, publication histories, and forecasting accuracy.

This paper offers an exploration of research production in social psychology as a global endeavor from the point of view of Anglophone social psychologists (N=232) across 64 countries. We examine social psychologists' beliefs regarding the difficulties in conducting research in social psychology and the inequalities that they report between the Global North, South and East Europe, and the Global South. Across all regions, we found pervasive critical awareness of obstacles to conducting research--including underinvestment in the field, precarious and counter-productive labor conditions, and excessive and biased disciplinary standards. However, we also found that colleagues outside the Global North reported quantitatively and qualitatively larger obstacles to research. These included well-known historically-rooted inequalities but also contemporary systemic procedural and distributive injustices in material, human, and social-political capital. Non-Northern colleagues in particular critically reflected on how these inequalities and injustices are amplified by Northern hegemonies in social, institutional, disciplinary, economic, and political systems. Discussion focuses on the implications of these results for social psychologists, social psychology as a discipline, and its situation within broader hierarchical systems and their intersectionalities. ; reviewed ; acceptedVersion

Marketing practices that promote calorie-dense, nutrient-poor foods directly to children and adolescents present significant public health risk. Worldwide, calls for government action and industry change to protect young people from the negative effects of food marketing have increased. Current proposals focus on restricting television advertising to children under 12 years old, but current psychological models suggest that much more is required. All forms of marketing pose considerable risk; adolescents are also highly vulnerable; and food marketing may produce far-reaching negative health outcomes. We propose a food marketing defense model that posits four necessary conditions to effectively counter harmful food marketing practices: awareness, understanding, ability and motivation to resist. A new generation of psychological research is needed to examine each of these processes, including the psychological mechanisms through which food marketing affects young people, to identify public policy that will effectively protect them from harmful influence.

In the United States, one third of children and adolescents are overweight or obese, yet food and beverage companies continue to target them with advertising for products that contribute to this obesity crisis.

Objectives The COVID-19 Psychological Research Consortium (C19PRC) Study aims to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the adult population in multiple countries. This paper describes the third wave of the UK survey (the 'parent' strand of the Consortium) during July-August 2020. Methods Adults (N = 2025) who participated in the baseline and/or first follow-up surveys were reinvited to participate in this survey, which assessed: (1) COVID-19 related knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours; (2) the occurrence of common mental disorders; as well as the role of (3) psychological factors and (4) social and political attitudes, in influencing the public's response to the pandemic. Weights were calculated using a survey raking algorithm to ensure that the cross-sectional sample is nationally representative in terms of gender, age, and household income, and representative of the baseline sample characteristics for household composition, ethnicity, urbanicity and born/raised in UK. Results 1166 adults (57.6% of baseline participants) provided full interviews at Wave 3. The raking procedure successfully re-balanced the cross-sectional sample to within 1% of population estimates across selected socio-demographic characteristics. Conclusion This paper demonstrates the strength of the C19PRC Study data to facilitate and stimulate interdisciplinary research addressing important public health questions relating to the COVID-19 pandemic.

This is the author accepted manuscript. The final version is available from Elsevier via the DOI in this record. ; In this paper we discuss the factors that influence women's likelihood to gain positions of power, and what impedes women's effectiveness once in these roles. We have reviewed the research from an international perspective and have highlighted the common trends that impact women across the globe. Although progress has been made, there is still much that needs to happen before equality of opportunity is realized. This paper highlights the macro and micro level factors that have an impact on women's rise to powerful positions and the progress and reactions thereafter. The psychological research indicates that it is not sufficient to address the individual challenges of being a woman in business or in politics. The current emphasis is on women as individuals and relies on them taking action. But this fails to address the wider societal impacts. It is not sufficient for women to focus on building their networks, increasing their social capital and enhancing their motivation. This fails to take into account the institutional and societal biases that undermine opportunities for women. We recommend changes in the way that women approach opportunities in the workplace, and in the way that policy makers and employers act. We highlight the importance of embracing diversity more broadly, not simply from a gender perspective. Only in this way, can there be equality of opportunity and an enhancement of diversity in the workplace. We address the practical implications from the psychological research and provide advice for organizations, senior executives, women throughout their professional careers and for young women as they start their career journey. ; This research was sponsored by the Alliance for Organizational Psychology (AOP) and coordinated through the Board Effectiveness Group of the British Psychological Society.

Our metaanalytic review investigates how employee participation in democratic enterprises is related to psychological outcomes. We gathered 60 studies through a systematic literature search of quantitative field studies (published between January 1970 and May 2017) and extracted 138 effect sizes related to three indicators of organisational democracy (OD) and 15 psychological outcomes. The overall findings suggest that employees individually perceived participation in organisational decision making (IPD) had a stronger relation to job satisfaction ([rho] = .25), job involvement/work motivation ([rho] = .36), prosocial work behaviours ([rho] = .24), civic and democratic behaviours ([rho] = .21) and perceived supportive climate ([rho] = .44) than the other two OD indicators: structurally anchored employee participation (SAEP) and employee participation in collective ownership (EO). This was not the case for valuebased commitment: the relations of SAEP ([rho] = .40), EO ([rho] = .34), and IPD ([rho] = .46) with commitment were nearly equal. Mediation analyses indicated that IPD partially mediated most of the effects of SAEP and EO on the outcomes mentioned. The crosssectional database and a small number of studies for some of the outcomes are the main limitations of this study. ; (VLID)5570517 ; Version of record

The article analyzes the peculiarities of the functioning of the system "man – environment" in the realities of the modern post-information, postmodern world and the risks associated with it. The changes of this environment caused by the inclusion of a fundamentally new agent of economic, political, socio-psychological influence – the media are shown. The negative consequences of such inclusion are also shown. The aim of the study is to establish prospects for the application of the ecological approach in modern psychological research. Тhe main concepts and provisions of the ecological approach in its application to modern psychological research are indicated. Particular attention is paid to the coverage of such concepts as "environmental thinking", "environmental awareness", "environmental communications", "environmental validity", "environmental crisis". The interrelationships between the psychological and socio-psychological phenomena defined by these concepts are analyzed. Emphasis is placed on the expediency of scientific research of ecological crisis and crisis states of the individual in these conditions in the paradigm of ecological psychology, ie taking into account the correspondence of the individual with the environment of his life, his professional activity, his personal development. The expediency of using a system of psychotechnics to develop motivation and environmental communication skills based on a methodology called "change policy" is substantiated. The policy of change - as an environmental technology to prevent and overcome the environmental crisis - should be implemented in three main directions: 1) as a policy of reorientation of consciousness, life positions, beliefs in the direction of going beyond the limits of alternative ideas and actions; 2) as a search for an ecological environment for development and self-realization, reorientation of own communications on the basis of value-oriented unity with this environment, common meanings, goals, assessments, actions based on "empathy formula", etc.; 3)as a policy of personal development and strengthening the system of its resources. ; У статті проаналізовано особливості функціонування системи «людина – середовище» в реаліях сучасного постінформаційного, постмодерного світу та пов'язані з цим ризики. Показано зміни цього середовища, спричинені включенням туди принципово нового агента економічного, політичного, соціально-психологічного впливу – засобів масової комунікації. Показано також негативні наслідки такого включення. Метою дослідження є встановлення перспектив застосування екологічного підходу в сучасних психологічних дослідженнях. Означено основні поняття і положення екологічного підходу в застосуванні його до сучасних психологічних досліджень. Особливу увагу приділено висвітленню таких понять, як «екологічне мислення», «екологічна свідомість», «екологічні комунікації», «екологічна валідність», «екологічна криза». Проаналізовано взаємозв'язки між означеними цими поняттями психологічними та соціально-психологічними феноменами. Акцентовано увагу на доцільності наукових досліджень екологічної кризи та кризових станів особистості в цих умовах саме в парадигмі екологічної психології, тобто з урахування увідповіднення особистості із середовищем її буття, її професійної діяльності, її особистісного розвитку. Обгрунтовано доцільність застосування системи психотехнік з вироблення мотивації та навичок екологічної комунікації, заснованих на методології під назвою «політика змін». Політика змін – як екологічна технологія запобігання і подолання екологічної кризи – має здійснюватися в трьох основних напрямах: 1)як політика переорієнтації свідомості, життєвих позицій, переконань в напрямі виходу за рамки обмежень у простір альтернативних ідей і дій; 2)як пошук екологічного середовища для розвитку і самореалізації, переорієнтація власних комунікацій на засадах ціннісно-орієнтаційної єдності з цим середовищем, спільних з ним смислів, цілей, оцінок, дій, заснованих на «емпатійній формулі» тощо; 3)як політика розвитку особистості та зміцнення системи її ресурсів

The following article, Olsson, M. & Martiny, S.E. (2018). Does exposure to counterstereotypical role models influence girls' and women's gender stereotypes and career choices? A review of social psychological research. Frontiers in Psychology , can be accessed at https://doi.org/10.3389/fpsyg.2018.02264 . ; Gender roles are formed in early childhood and continue to influence behavior through adolescence and adulthood, including the choice of academic majors and careers. In many countries, men are underrepresented in communal roles in health care, elementary education, and domestic functions (HEED fields, Croft et al., 2015), whereas women are underrepresented in the science, technology, engineering, and mathematical (STEM) fields (Beede et al., 2011) and top leadership positions (Leopold et al., 2016). Theories focusing on the development of gender roles suggest that across the lifespan people perceive certain roles to be more or less appropriate for their gender (e.g., Gender Schema Theory, Martin and Halverson, 1981; Social Role Theory, Eagly and Wood, 2011). Specifically, researchers have postulated that observing same-sex role models triggers learning processes whereby observers internalize gender-stereotypical knowledge of roles and act accordingly, which results in gender-congruent aspirations and behavior. It seems reasonable that if observing men and women in gender congruent roles fosters gender-congruent aspirations and behavior, then frequently observing gender-incongruent role models (e.g., male kindergarten teachers or female scientists and leaders) should reduce gender stereotyping and promote gender-counterstereotypical aspirations and behavior. In many countries, governments and societal decision-makers have formed initiatives based on the idea that exposure to gender-counterstereotypical role models influences aspirations and career choices among children, adolescents, and young adults. The present review gives an overview of research-based interventions involving observing or interacting with counterstereotypical role models, particularly focusing on outcomes for girls and women. Extending earlier reviews, we summarize laboratory-based and field-based studies and then critically discuss and integrate the findings in order to provide an overall picture of how counterstereotypical role models shape observers' occupational aspirations and academic choices in childhood, adolescence, and young adulthood. We conclude by outlining suggestions for future research and briefly discussing implications for future interventions.

Migration has been a popular topic among researchers and scholars from various fields; and evaluated from different perspectives such as that of sociologists, politicians and economists. The main approaches to the comprehension of concept «migration» are considered in the article. The cultural and historical concepts bases for analyzing and developing of adequate notion of migration process is proposed. The article deals with major traumatic problems and issues faced by migrant workers and how they affect the psychological state of individuals. The socio-psychological essence of the phenomenon of migration is revealed, the leading aspects of migration motives of behavior are outlined, the problem of migration in globalization processes of the world and the problem of social identification of the migrant are outlined.The aim of the article is a theoretical and practical analysis of the psychology of the migrant's personality through the prism of socio-psychological research.Methods: analysis, synthesis of the provisions contained in the psychological literature on the development of modern nuclear family, comparison, generalization, interpretation and systematization of theoretical and empirical research.The study of the psychology of the migrant's personality requires attention to the leading psychological parameters, including motivation, needs, values, emotional states of the migrant, which are the basis of the mental health of the individual. At the theoretical level, the hypothesis that there is a direct positive relationship between the adaptability of the migrant in the new socio-cultural environment and indicators of personal mental health has been confirmed.Psychology has a significant contribution to make to key areas of work on migration. Most notably, the focus on trauma, counselling interventions in contexts of violence and loss, and integration and understanding shifting family relationships are all areas of work where there is, or could be, productive engagement across the disciplines. For this engagement to be meaningful, however, requires that psychology draws on the core debates emerging from the study of migration in its conceptualization and theorization of research on migration. In psychological discourse, migration is a tense process of entering a new socio-cultural environment, which may be accompanied by discomfort, anxiety, depression, different syndromes, chronic stress, problems not only mental but also domestic. In addition, the availability and accessibility of public and psychological services to make them inclusive, cultural and free remain a problem. The problem of adaptation of a migrant to new ethnocultural conditions is a serious problem, as it requires in-depth psychological analysis and correction. ; Статья посвящена анализу психологии мигранта с позиции мультидисциплинарного подхода.

Objectives: The C19PRC Study aims to assess the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in the adult population of the UK, Republic of Ireland, and Spain. This paper describes the conduct of the first two waves of the UK survey (the 'parent' strand of the Consortium) during March-April 2020. Methods: A longitudinal, internet panel survey was designed to assess: (1) COVID-19 related knowledge, attitudes, and behaviours; (2) the occurrence of common mental health disorders; as well as the role of (3) psychological factors and (4) social and political attitudes, in influencing the public's response to the pandemic. Quota sampling (age, sex, and household income) was used to recruit a nationally representative sample of adults. Results: 2025 adults were recruited at baseline, and 1406 were followed-up one-month later (69.4% response rate). The baseline sample was representative of the UK population in relation to economic activity, ethnicity, and household composition. Attrition was predicted by key socio-demographic characteristics, and an inverse probability weighting procedure was employed to ensure the follow-up sample was representative of the baseline sample. Conclusion: The C19PRC Study data has strong generalisability to facilitate and stimulate interdisciplinary research on important public health questions relating to the COVID-19 pandemic.
