1	2020-06-28T00:00:00Z	Aleksandra Cichocka	University of Kent	a.k.cichocka@kent.ac.uk	National narcissism across countries	In this project, we investigate levels of national narcissism across countries. We will examined whether levels of national narcissism (and identification) depend on country level indices of external peace and globalisation.	link; See also: link
2	2020-07-06T00:00:00Z	Matthias Hudecek	University of Regensburg	matthias.hudecek@ur.de	Causal analysis of social science measures to fight COVID-19	We investigate in theoretical and empirical ways that the common practice of including all available variables into a regression model is prone to suffer from severe bias. Our theoretical argument hinges on theorems of causal inference. For our empirical line of reasoning, we propose and test a causal model of the pathway from the Cognitive Reflection Test (CRT) scores to physical contact.
3	2020-07-08T00:00:00Z	Christian T. Elbæk	Aarhus University	chel@mgmt.au.dk	Morality and Socioeconomic Status During a Time of Crisis,	In this project, we investigate how the COVID-19 crisis has affected the morality of socio-economically deprived individuals compared to individuals with a high level of socio-economic resources, across countries.
4	2020-07-21T00:00:00Z	Sylvain Delouvée	Univ Rennes	sylvaindelouvee@gmail.com	COVID-19 threat, Well-being and Physical Health: What about the Social Cure ?,"	Social belonging and social identities provide individual with resources to face adverse life circumstances. Accordingly, accumulating evidence suggests that feeling identified with and belonging to social groups can- in and of itself - improve mental and physical health (see Haslam, Cruwys, Haslam, Dingle, & Chang, 2016). For instance, ethnic identification among Syrian refugees buffers the negative effects of war-related traumas on their physical and mental health. Given the psychological burden induced by the current COVID-19 pandemic, we wish to test the presence of similar processes. More specifically, we will test whether COVID-19 threat’s effects on well being and physical health could be tempered by national identification, group belonging and moral circles (Celebi, Verkuyten, & Bagci, 2017).
5	2020-07-24T00:00:00Z	Anni Sternisko	New York University	as10039@nyu.edu	Covid-19 Conspiracy Theories and Collective Narcissism	We will use the data to conceptually replicate findings from two studies conducted earlier this year. We will test whether national narcissism is associated with stronger belief in COVID-19 conspiracy theories. Further, we will test whether belief in COVID-19 conspiracy theories is associated with health-related behaviors and attitudes towards public policies to mitigate the spread of COVID-19."
6	2020-07-24T00:00:00Z	Jo Cutler	The University of Birmingham	J.L.Cutler@bham.ac.uk	Age & prosocial behaviour - crosscultural	Recent work suggests ageing is associated with increases in prosocial behaviour (Mayr & Freund, 2020), including charitable giving (Bekkers & Wiepking, 2011), effortful actions (Lockwood et al., 2020), and related traits (Neumann et al., 2020). However, in parallel, there are suggestions that older adults’ political views align with a more ‘selfish’ world outlook that values personal or ingroup wellbeing above that of more distant others, for example, less support for foreign aid (Bayram, 2016). In addition, there is also evidence of cultural differences in the relationship between age and prosocial giving (Bekkers & Wiepking, 2011) but importantly research outside of Western countries is lacking. We will test the relationship between age and two prosocial measures, one financial: charitable giving, and the other effortful: social distancing. As the data were collected during the COVID19 pandemic and charitable giving was specifically to organisations working on this cause, generalisability is arguably limited. However, it also offers strengths as participants could not have habits related to the behaviours and the same cause affects all countries.
7	2020-07-24T00:00:00Z	Tomislav Pavlovic	Ivo Pilar Institute of Social Sciences	tomislav.pavlovic@pilar.hr	Political ideology, national identification and collective narcissism	Collective narcissism, the belief in the ingroup’s exceptionality and its entitlement to privilege has been associated with different forms of out-group derogation, prejudice and hostility. It is increasingly investigated in conjunction to populist rhetoric, parties and policies. Acknowledging the socially important consequences of collective narcissism we turn our interest to some of its determinants. Namely, we are interested in what roles do national identification and political ideology play in in the prediction of collective narcissism, specifically in different cultural contexts in these uncertain times of a global pandemic.
8	2020-07-25T00:00:00Z	Marina Maglic	Institute of Social Sciences Ivo Pilar	marina.maglic@pilar.hr	Analytical thinking and political orientation in the Corona crisis	We aim to explore determinants of COVID-19 responsible behaviour, focusing on cognitive and socio-political factors influencing who may be most reluctant to embrace the calls for responsible behavioural change. Specifically, we want to investigate the role of analytical thinking (indexed by cognitive reflection and open-minded thinking) and political orientation, as well as conspiracy beliefs surrounding COVID-19 with self-reported behaviours and opinions concerning physical distancing, adherence to good hygiene practices and COVID policy support. We want to examine the relationships between these factors across different countries to assess whether they vary across different political contexts.
9	2020-07-26T00:00:00Z	Koustav De	University of Kentucky	koustav@uky.edu	Effect of Salience on economic outcomes & COVID19 related personal choices	Salience effect related to threshold numbers like 100, 500, 1000 are known to be higher than similar numbers like 97 or 507 or 993 etc. We test if number of cases or number of deaths related to COVID19 in a particular country has salience effect on the survey respondents. More specifically are individuals more likely to pick higher responses to personal hygiene, physical contact and policy support when their country has only recently crossed a salient number. We anticipate heterogeneous salience effect among different countries. At a higher level we intend to test if countries with higher salience effect (which are arguably not optimally aware of COVID19 precautions due to multiple possible reasons) performs poorly going ahead. We test performance in terms of both containing COIVD19 and economic measures.
10	2020-07-30T00:00:00Z	Flavio Azevedo	Friedrich-Schiller University	flavio.azevedo@uni-jena.de	Assessing Psychometric Criteria of Psychological Constructs in 68 Nations	This is an exploratory research design aiming to assess the Psychometric Criteria of Psychological Constructs utilized at the ICMPS Project across WEIRD and Non-WEIRD countries (N=68). Through the lenses of measurement schmeasurement (Flake & Fried, 2020), we want to assess the (variability of) reliability, internal consistency, average/median instrument inter-correlations, dimensionality, CFA fit, IRT information, measurement invariance, and network structure (nomological network) for the overall sample and across WEIRD vs. non-WEIRD samples, breaking down by demographics (e.g., gender, age), for the constructs: 1. Collective narcissism; 2. Narcissism; 3. Moral Identity; 4. Open-mindedness, 5. Morality-as-cooperation (short version); 6. Trait self-control; and 7. Social belonging.
