Dieses Lehrbuch bildet das gesamte Themenspektrum der Sozialpsychologie ab - vollständig und doch kompakt, alltagsnah und unterhaltsam. Denn die Sozialpsychologie ist die spannende Wissenschaft unseres sozialen Alltags! Und so wird hier jedes der prüfungsrelevanten Themen mit "Szenen aus dem Leben" verknüpft und verständlich vermittelt. Der Inhalt Klassiker der Sozialpsychologie: Kognitive Dissonanz, Urteilen und Entscheiden, prosoziales Verhalten, Aggression, Einstellungen, Stereotype und Vorurteile, Gruppenprozesse und soziale Identität, sozialer Einfluss, soziale Dilemmata Aktuelle Themen: Positive Psychologie, Religion, Rassismus, soziale Neurowissenschaften Alles didaktisch abwechslungsreich vermittelt: Fallbeispiele, Studienboxen, Exkurse, Definitionen, Lernziele, Kontrollfragen, vertiefende Literatur, Praxishinweise Mit Zusatzmaterialien auf der Lehrbuch-Webseite: Glossar, Lernkarten, Prüfungsfragen, Hörbeiträge sowie Abbildungen und Foliensätze für die Lehre Die Zielgruppen Für Psychologiestudierende im Bachelorstudium Für alle, die sich für die Sozialpsychologie interessieren Die Autoren Peter Fischer (geb. 1973) ist Universitätsprofessor für Sozial-, Arbeits- und Organisationspsychologie an der Universität Regensburg. Er promovierte an der Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München zu konfirmatorischer Informationsverarbeitung bei Entscheidungsprozessen. Heute forscht er überwiegend zu den Themen Führung, Digitalisierung der Arbeitswelt und kognitiven Fehlern bei menschlichen Entscheidungsprozessen. Kathrin Jander (geb. 1984) studierte in Regensburg Psychologie und promovierte dort mit Arbeiten zum Einfluss finanzieller Kosten auf selektive Informationsverarbeitungsprozesse.

The reported dataset addresses potential correlates and predictors of beliefs in conspiracy theories about the COVID-19 pandemic. Different psychological constructs (self-esteem, Dark Triad personality traits, collective narcissism, political attitude, individualism/collectivism), social status, and socio-demographic variables were assessed. Data from 746 participants from all parts of Germany who study part-time while working were collected between May 26 to July 5, 2020. We used a cross-sectional online survey comprising a total of 98 items. Preliminary analysis revealed sound psychometric properties of the measures. These data provide several opportunities for further use and can be utilized for research and educational purposes. For example, comparisons can be drawn between existing research on conspiracy theories to determine whether known factors determining beliefs in conspiracy theories are also relevant for COVID-19. All data and additional materials (e.g., codebook of all items, R code) are available at https://osf.io/p6q7w/.

BACKGROUND: The success of programs to eliminate lymphatic filariasis (LF) depends in large part on their ability to achieve and sustain high levels of compliance with mass drug administration (MDA). This paper reports results from a comprehensive review of factors that affect compliance with MDA. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS: Papers published between 2000 and 2012 were considered, and 79 publications were included in the final dataset for analysis after two rounds of selection. While results varied in different settings, some common features were associated with successful programs and with compliance by individuals. Training and motivation of drug distributors is critically important, because these people directly interact with target populations, and their actions can affect MDA compliance decisions by families and individuals. Other important programmatic issues include thorough preparation of personnel, supplies, and logistics for implementation and preparation of the population for MDA. Demographic factors (age, sex, income level, and area of residence) are often associated with compliance by individuals, but compliance decisions are also affected by perceptions of the potential benefits of participation versus the risk of adverse events. Trust and information can sometimes offset fear of the unknown. While no single formula can ensure success MDA in all settings, five key ingredients were identified: engender trust, tailor programs to local conditions, take actions to minimize the impact of adverse events, promote the broader benefits of the MDA program, and directly address the issue of systematic non-compliance, which harms communities by prolonging their exposure to LF. CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE: This review has identified factors that promote coverage and compliance with MDA for LF elimination across countries. This information may be helpful for explaining results that do not meet expectations and for developing remedies for ailing MDA programs. Our review has also identified gaps in understanding and suggested priority areas for further research.
