Bearing the burden of peace: Intergroup attribution bias and public support for peace provisions
In: Political psychology: journal of the International Society of Political Psychology
ISSN: 1467-9221
AbstractWhat drives public support for peace provisions? Based on intergroup attribution theory, we argue that public support for peace provisions depends on "who bears the burden of peace," with people wanting to protect their ingroup while holding the outgroup accountable. To examine this claim, we conducted a series of question‐wording experiments with more than 1650 Azerbaijani participants shortly after a deadly resurgence of the Nagorno‐Karabakh war. Our initial findings confirm that support for war crime punishments and monetary reparations decreases when the ingroup stands trial or must pay. Conversely, support increases when these same burdens fall on the outgroup. A follow‐up study shows that these patterns persist for at least 6 months but also reveals a more nuanced perspective. Public support for peace provisions does not automatically decrease when the ingroup bears the cost or increase when the outgroup bears it; rather, it depends on the group‐based implications of the provision under consideration. Taken together, our results underscore the importance of crafting and communicating peace provisions in a tailored manner and the potential of emphasizing burden sharing as an effective strategy for addressing intergroup hostilities and fostering sustainable peace.

Public compliance with difficult political decisions in times of a pandemic: does citizen deliberation help?
In: International journal of public opinion research, Band 34, Heft 3
ISSN: 1471-6909
Abstract
Bridging deliberative democracy and crisis management scholarship, we construct theoretical expectations about the role of deliberative minipublics in fostering public compliance with difficult political decisions. Our expectations are tested with a randomized cross-national survey experiment (United States and United Kingdom, N = 2088), in which respondents read a realistic news item depicting a political decision-making process leading to the extension of COVID-19 lockdown measures that follows either a (1) citizen deliberation, (2) public consultation, (3) politician deliberation, or (4) nothing. The findings show minipublics are unlikely to foster public compliance during a health crisis. On the contrary, reading about a minipublic could decrease compliance when individuals are distrustful of minipublics. This study has implications for citizen participation, deliberation, and leadership during future pandemics.
The acceleration of digital communications in the durable goods industry. A study on white goods firms after COVID-19
In: The journal of business & industrial marketing, Band 38, Heft 7, S. 1465-1478
ISSN: 2052-1189
Purpose
The purpose of this paper is to investigate how business-to-business (B2B) companies operating in durable goods use digital communications after the COVID-19 outbreak. In particular, this paper focuses on the objectives of these digital communication tools for the marketing strategies of B2B white goods firms.
Design/methodology/approach
As the research objective is explorative, the authors conducted a qualitative analysis by collecting 13 semi-structured interviews with B2B marketing professionals working for white goods firms in Italy. Primary data was triangulated with secondary data about the white goods industry, such as sector reports.
Findings
The findings of this paper show an acceleration in the adoption of digital communication tools among B2B firms after COVID-19. The authors also discuss the effects in the use of such tools both in the short and long term.
Originality/value
This paper attempts to contribute to the B2B marketing literature by providing an original analysis of the consequences of the COVID-19 outbreak focusing on the use of digital communication tools among white goods firms. It also provides managerial implications for firms operating in B2B.
Reflective political reasoning: Political disagreement and empathy
International audience ; As political polarization increases across many of the world's established democracies, many citizens are unwilling to appreciate and consider the viewpoints of those who disagree with them. Previous research shows that this lack of reflection can undermine democratic accountability. The purpose of this paper is to study whether empathy for the other can motivate people to reason reflectively about politics. Extant studies have largely studied trait-level differences in the ability and inclination of individuals to engage in reflection. Most of these studies focus on observational moderators, which makes it difficult to make strong claims about the effects of being in a reflective state on political decision making. We extend this research by using a survey experiment with a large and heterogeneous sample of UK citizens (N = 2014) to investigate whether a simple empathy intervention can induce people to consider opposing viewpoints and incorporate those views in their opinion about a pressing political issue. We find that actively imagining the feelings and thoughts of someone one disagrees with prompts more reflection in the way that people reason about political issues as well as elicits empathic feelings of concern towards those with opposing viewpoints. We further examine whether empathy facilitates openness to attitude change in the counter-attitudinal direction and find that exposure to an opposing perspective (without its empathy component) per se is enough to prompt attitude change. Our study paints a more nuanced picture of the relationship between empathy, reflection and policy attitudes.

CONSERVATOIR BESLAG (SITA JAMINAN) SEBAGAI UPAYA PENYELAMATAN KEUANGAN NEGARA DALAM PEMBERANTASAN TINDAK PIDANA KORUPSI
ABSTRAC The implementation of the Beslag conservatoir in the realm of civil law into the realm of criminal law, is believed by scholars and legal practitioners to be the solution needed to overcome asset recovery constraints. However, there are fundamental differences in the characteristics of civil law and criminal law, which of course cannot make the application possible immediately. Therefore, the qualification form of the conservatoir beslag so that it can be applied in the realm of criminal law also needs to be analyzed further. In answering these problems, this research uses a normative juridical research type with an approach through legislation, a concept approach, a case approach, and a comparative approach. This study concludes that the beslag conservatoir should be considered to be applicable in Indonesia given the existence of international law, foreign sources of law, the jurisprudence of the Supreme Court which encourages the implementation of the beslag conservatoir in order to increase the effectiveness of asset recovery in Indonesia.This research uses the type of field research (field research). Primary data, namely the results of interviews and documents relevant to the research theme, while secondary data, namely other literature relevant to the title of this study. The method of analysis is descriptive analytical based on direct data from research subjects. Therefore, data collection and analysis were carried out simultaneously, not separately as in quantitative research.The result of this research is that bankruptcy law is positioned as lex specialist in dealing with civil law as lex generalis because in bankruptcy, the law used is the law on bankruptcy. Bankruptcy law is a legal rule made to protect the interests of individual rights or a person's civil rights in the field of material and engagement law which is part of civil law.

Comparison of C4.5 and Naïve Bayes Algorithms for Assessment of Public Complaints Services
Public service is one type of service provided by the government. The National Commission on Human Rights as a state institution, one of its functions is to provide services for complaints of cases of human rights violations. The purpose of this study was to find the most appropriate algorithm method by looking at the results of the accuracy and the Area Under Curve (AUC) value. The data used is data from questionnaires regarding assessments related to complaints of cases of human rights violations by the public in 2018, totaling 1750 records. The data is processed using the C4.5 algorithm and Naïve Bayes with the Rapid Miner tools. The results showed that the C4.5 Algorithm has a better accuracy of 99.49% compared to Naïve Bayes of 95.66%. The AUC value produced by the C4.5 algorithm is better at 0.998 and Naïve Bayes by 0.996. In this study, the rule generated by C4.5 will be the basis for making a questionnaire assessment application in the form of visual programming, to help provide an assessment of the satisfaction of complaint services at Komnas HAM. The system is built based on web, using PHP framework, database using MySQL and editor tools using notepad ++.
