Uncertainty in Conflicts between Societal Groups – A Social Psychological View
The central focus of the following working paper is a social-scientific and especially social- psychological understanding of the relation between the concept of uncertainty and conflicts between groups within a certain society. How can uncertainty be conceptualised (understood)? What is the meaning and role of uncertainty when we want to understand conflicts between groups? What can social psychology contribute to the questions: How do and which uncertainties influence conflicts, especially processes of constructive and destructive conflict regulation? By which group dynamics and mechanisms do groups navigate uncertainty in society? Shortly, conflicts and the regulation of societal conflicts are the central focus of this contribution to interdisciplinary uncertainty studies. The perspective we outline in the following is social psychological, i.e. we focus on conflicts between groups and their members. We focus on a psychological level. We try to understand individuals, their perceptions, emotions and behaviour. From this perspective, we differentiate between individual and collectively shared uncertainty; we propose a clearer differentiation of levels, types, sources and modes of navigation of uncertainty in group conflicts.

Neither Eastern nor Western: Patterns of independence and interdependence in Mediterranean societies.
Abstract:
"Social science research has highlighted “honor” as a central value driving social behavior in Mediterranean societies, which requires individuals to develop and protect a sense of their personal self-worth and their social reputation, through assertiveness, competitiveness, and retaliation in the face of threats. We predicted that members of Mediterranean societies may exhibit a distinctive combination of independent and interdependent social orientation, self-construal, and cognitive style, compared to more commonly studied East Asian and Anglo-Western cultural groups. We compared participants from eight Mediterranean societies (Spain, Italy, Greece, Turkey, Cyprus [Turkish Cypriot and Greek Cypriot communities], Lebanon, Egypt) to participants from East Asian (Korea, Japan) and Anglo-Western (the United Kingdom, the United States) societies, using six implicit social orientation indicators, an eight-dimensional self-construal scale, and four cognitive style indicators. Compared with both East Asian and Anglo-Western samples, samples from Mediterranean societies distinctively emphasized several forms of independence (relative intensity of disengaging [vs. engaging] emotions, happiness based on disengaging [vs. engaging] emotions, dispositional [vs. situational] attribution style, self-construal as different from others, self-directed, self-reliant, self-expressive, and consistent) and interdependence (closeness to in-group [vs. out-group] members, self-construal as connected and committed to close others). Our findings extend previous insights into patterns of cultural orientation beyond commonly examined East–West comparisons to an understudied world region.

New Publication
Veröffentlicht am 8. Mai 2023
A new publication in the Journal of Cross-Cultural Psychology under the lead of Pascal Schlechter (University of Cambridge, United Kingdom) with Dr. Jens H. Hellmann´s (IKG) participation.
"Due to several reasons, there is a critical underuse of psychotherapeutic help in refugees from countries like Syria as compared to German residents. The reasons include structural hurdles because of the health system and therapists’ readiness to do psychotherapy with refugees. Crucially, on average, refugees also hold more negative attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help.
In the study reported in this new publication, we have thus explored an intervention to improve these attitudes in Syrian refugees in Germany by providing ostensible interviews with (ostensible) patients who report the benefits of psychotherapy. Compared to non-intervention groups, Syrian refugees (but not German residents) who had received such information reported more positive attitudes toward seeking professional psychological help and lower levels of denial of the need for psychological help".
