exposure to threat of war and terror Political Attitudes stress and life satisfaction among teenagers in israel
Journal of Adolescence, 2006Co-Authors: Michael Shamai, Shaul KimhiAbstract:The study examines the pattern of relations between level of threat, Political Attitude (willingness for Political compromise), and well-being (level of stress and life satisfaction) among Israeli teenagers in reaction to Israel's withdrawal from Lebanon. Participants were 419 teenagers from two residential areas: the Northern area (close to the Israeli-Lebanese border) and the Central area (distant from the border). The results show: (a) significant differences between the two groups on: Political Attitude (Center scored higher), on level of stress (North scored higher), and on life satisfaction (North scored lower); (b) a significant negative correlation between exposure to threat and Political Attitude; (c) significant negative correlations between Political Attitude and measures of stress, and a significant positive correlation with life satisfaction; (d) Political Attitude mediates between level of threat and well-being. Political and educational implications, and mental health policy are discussed. Language: en

an abstract mind is a principled one abstract mindset increases consistency in responses to Political Attitude scales
Journal of Experimental Social Psychology, 2018Co-Authors: Sinan AlperAbstract:Abstract Past literature suggested that not everyone is Politically sophisticated. In the current research, it is proposed that an experimental manipulation of abstract mindset would decrease variation in responses to Political Attitude scales and render individuals more internally consistent in their Political Attitudes. Three hypotheses are proposed: (1) Abstract mindset would lower within-subject standard deviations (SDs) and increase Cronbach's alphas in responses to Political Attitude scales; (2) decrease in SDs could not be attributed to a response bias; and (3) abstract mindset would lower SDs even after controlling for differences in mean scores on those scales. In seven experiments, five different paradigms were used to manipulate abstractness and four different Political scales were used as dependent measures on samples from two distinct cultures (US and Turkey). Analyses of individual studies and an aggregate analysis of combined data supported all hypotheses and showed that abstract mindset decreases SDs and increases Cronbach's alpha scores in self-reported Political Attitudes. Results suggest that abstract mindset enhances apparent Political sophistication by highlighting core Political beliefs behind different attitudinal statements. Implications for construal level theory and Political sophistication research are discussed.

Political AttitudeS AND COGNITIVE CONVICTIONS AMONG DANISH SOCIAL SCIENCE RESEARCHERS
Scientometrics, 1999Co-Authors: Heine AndersenAbstract:Interview data from a survey among Danish researchers, mainly from social sciences (all disciplines, about on third of all) are used to examine connections between researcher Political Attitudes and their disciplinary cognitive paradigms. Included are researchers’ convictions concerning world view hypotheses, their basic assumptions regarding the subject matter in their fields of study, e.g., individuals, social action, and society as a whole, and their epistemic ideals and goals. Political Attitude is indicated by researchers’ voting in the 1994 general election of the Danish Parliament.

Political Attitude and fertility: Is there a selection for the Political extreme?
Frontiers in psychology, 2018Co-Authors: Martin Fieder, Susanne HuberAbstract:There is growing evidence that human ideology as well as social and Political Attitudes also have a genetic basis. In case of some genetic predisposition of Political Attitude, an association with fertility would be a hint of potential selection on Political ideology. We therefore investigated on the basis of men and women that have completed, respectively, almost completed reproduction, of three different data sets (the World Value Survey 1981-2014 covering a wide range of countries and developmental levels, n = 152,380, the Survey of Health, Ageing and Retirement in Europe of 2005, n = 65,912, and the General Social Survey of the United States 1972-2014, n ∼ 6200) whether Political Attitude is associated with number of children. Overall, in the world wide survey, both extreme Political Attitudes, albeit more pronounced for right/conservative than for left/liberal Attitude, are associated with higher average offspring number compared to intermediate Attitudes. If countries are analyzed separately, however, the picture is inconsistent, and in most countries, the association is non-significant. In the European and the US-survey, only the Political right is associated with above average number of children. The time series of US data from 1972 to 2014 shows that at least in the US-sample, this pattern emerged during the 1990s: in the 1970s and 1980s, also in the US-sample both Political extremes had a reproductive advantage, which vanished for left wing individuals during the 1990s. From an evolutionary perspective, we are not able to draw final conclusions as the association between Political Attitude and reproduction varies across countries and time. Nonetheless, the overall pattern suggests that in human evolutionary history, both left and right Political Attitudes may have conveyed fitness benefits so that both Attitudes have been kept in the population.
