National Geographic, 26. Januar 2024 | Sarah Langer

„Klimawandel, politische Unruhen, Inflation, Krieg: Zahlreiche Krisen beunruhigen die Bevölkerung. Doch wieso reagieren einige mit Wut und Aggression darauf? […] Angst ist es, die schnell in Wut umschlagen kann. Das erklärt auch Dr. Joris Lammers, Professor für Politische Psychologie an der Uni Köln. „Unsicherheiten in der Gesellschaft lösen auch immer Unsicherheiten in jedem Einzelnen aus. Fragen wie „Was bedeutet das für mich persönlich?“, „Reicht das Geld?“, oder „Wie werde ich in Zukunft leben?“ spielen eine große Rolle. Die Unsicherheit gilt als der größte Auslöser für Wut und Aggression bei uns Menschen.““

„Jeder möchte sich selbst gern als moralisch gut sehen. Doch warum vergleichen wir uns lieber mit fehlbareren Menschen – anstatt uns von Vorbildern inspirieren zu lassen?“ (Media Coverage: Fleischmann et al. (2021): „More threatening and more diagnostic: How moral comparisons differ from social comparisons.“)

„A simple mathematical mistake may explain why many people underestimate the dangers of coronavirus, shunning social distancing, masks and hand-washing. […] In March, Joris Lammers at the University of Bremen in Germany joined forces with Jan Crusius and Anne Gast at the University of Cologne to roll out online surveys questioning people about the potential spread of the disease. Their results showed that the exponential growth bias was prevalent in people’s understanding of the virus’s spread, with most people vastly underestimating the rate of increase.“

Scientific American, 20.07.2020 | Lydia Denworth

„In responding to the pandemic, society may be hampered by cognitive and political beliefs that distort judgments and lead to irrational decisions […] Dutch political psychologist Joris Lammers of the University of Cologne in Germany had previously been studying responses to climate change, where he recognized people’s inability to grasp the exponential growth of carbon dioxide emissions. In June Lammers and his colleagues published a set of three studies in a paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences USA that showed the same problem in the pandemic. […] Our cognitive and political biases intersect. “People are more susceptible to biases if they fit their own political narrative,” Lammers says.“

„But to conservative ears, says a study published Monday in the journal PNAS, policy recommendations on the environment might sound more appealing if they’re aimed at restoring a known and beloved past than if they’re required to forestall disasters in an uncertain future.[…] Baldwin and Lammers write, the message of climate change has been framed in many ways — from fatalistic predictions about the future to calls for social progress[…].“

Quirks & Quarks, 17.12.2016 | Bob McDonald

„Psychologist Dr. Matthew Baldwin and colleagues at the University of Cologne, in Germany, have considered how re-framing language around climate change increases its appeal for specific parts of the population. In a new study, Baldwin has found that Americans who are politically conservative and tend to be skeptical about climate change, are more likely to be persuaded by statements that connect climate change with a cherished, idyllic past. In contrast, liberals, or progressives, respond to both ‚past-focused‘ messages and to appeals that talk about the future.“

„You’ve been offered a promotion. […] There is, however, a teensy catch: Your new title doesn’t actually come with any more money than your current one. But think of the prestige — the power! So. Will you take it? No, you most likely would not [ …]. Across nine experiments, the researchers — from the University of Cologne, the University of Groningen, and Columbia University — consistently found that, although employees without a lot of power do indeed desire more of it, ultimately ‘gaining autonomy quenches the desire for power’. […] In one experiment, the researchers — led by Joris Lammers at the University of Cologne — guided people through the above thought experiment.”

The Guardian, 26.11.2014 | Emine Saner

„Research indicates that the mere suggestion someone has acquired new power makes them behave antisocially and eat more messily. […] A study by two researchers, Joris Lammers and Adam Galinsky, split 105 people into two groups and asked each to recall an instance in which they had power.”
