“…Swim and Bloodhart (2018) introduce a novel framework to understand psychological barriers to perceiving and responding to climate change as a social justice issue (i.e., minimization of climate injustices). In particular, they identify social psychological processes and conditions under which people will perceive injustice and inequities in climate change impacts and act to address these inequities (e.g., by working on behalf of vulnerable populations, species, and ecosystems).…”

Climate change is often conceived as a technical challenge, requiring smart policies and science-driven solutions. Yet, as revealed by each new round of international negotiations, and by growing (rather than receding) partisan divides on climate change in the United States, climate change is also profoundly social: How people understand and engage with the issue is powerfully influenced by the responses of others, including members of ingroups and outgroups. This special issue brings together research and theory that shed light on new and understudied group and intergroup dimensions of climate change. The featured articles showcase the breadth of social psychological processes (e.g., social identity and categorization processes, intergroup perceptions, normative influence, justice concerns, and group-based ideologies) relevant to the study of climate change while highlighting how the problem’s shared, global relevance poses unique questions and opportunities for the field. We explore the contributions of these articles to the social psychological study of climate change and highlight new challenges and pathways forward.

“…System justification theory has also helped to illuminate processes of rationalization when it comes to inequalities between human social groups based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, geographical region, and social class (Jost & Kay, 2005; Jost, Kivetz, Rubini, Guermandi, & Mosso, 2005; Jost & Thompson, 2000; Kay et al, 2009; Kay & Jost, 2003; Prusaczyk & Hodson, 2018; Rudman, Feinberg, & Fairchild, 2002; van der Toorn, Jost, Packer, Noorbaloochi, & van Bavel, 2017). Given that human abuse of nonhuman animals is, among other things, a case of intergroup domination (Dhont et al, 2014; Dhont et al, 2016; Swim & Bloodhart, 2018), there may be psychological similarities in the ways in which people rationalize the exploitation and unequal treatment of human and nonhuman groups. If so, system justification theory may shed additional light on problems associated with animal welfare.…”

Political conservatism and the exploitation of nonhuman animals: An application of system justification theory

Many people in Western societies tolerate the mistreatment of nonhuman animals, despite obvious ethical concerns about the injustice of animal suffering and exploitation. In three studies, we applied system justification theory to examine the ideological basis of human–animal relations. In Studies 1a and 1b, we showed in both a large convenience sample ( N = 2,119) and a nationally representative sample in the US ( N = 1,500) that economic system justification uniquely explained the relationship between political conservatism and animal welfare attitudes even after adjusting for social dominance orientation. In Study 2, we replicated and extended these findings using more elaborate measures of animal welfare attitudes in the context of an MTurk sample of U.S. respondents ( N = 395). Specifically, we found that conservatism was associated with less support for animal welfare and greater endorsement of speciesism (the belief that humans are morally superior to nonhuman animals) and that individual differences in economic system justification mediated these associations. We discuss several ways in which system justification theory may inform interventions designed to promote support for animal welfare in society at large.

“…Seghezzo (2009) detailed a broad approach such as this to consider economic and developmental sustainability through three categories of concerns: persons, places, and permanence. Connections between sustainability and justice or diversity include concerns about who creates the most waste and pollution and who suffers the greatest consequences (Swim & Bloodhart, 2018).…”

“…From my own personal perspective looking at the field, I would like to see more concern for environmental sustainability. This is an inherently social justice question about diverse populations because the wealthy and privileged who create the most pollution and waste are the least likely to suffer the negative consequences (Swim & Bloodhart, 2018), and climate change affects everyone on all parts of the globe. We need to ask questions about how to engage and uplift more people from various identity and demographic diversity groups to actively discuss and resolve the human and resource challenges of living on an evershrinking planet.…”

Through her leadership and commitment to diversity, she has made the Journal and Psi Chi an even better organization. Following her lead, Psi Chi Journal has implemented a diversity statement and is committed to supporting this statement and standards. Dr. Domenech Rodríguez has left a long lasting impact on Psi Chi-one that we can all be proud of. ABOUT PSI CHI Psi Chi is the International Honor So ci ety in Psychology, found ed in 1929. Its mission: "recognizing and promoting excellence in the science and application of psy chol ogy." (Note. Our new mission statement is available at http://www.psichi.org/?page=purpose) Mem ber ship is open to undergraduates, graduate students, faculty, and alumni mak ing the study of psy chol ogy one of their major interests and who meet Psi Chi's min i mum qual i fi ca tions. Psi Chi is a member of the As so cia tion of Col lege Honor So ci et ies (ACHS), and is an affiliate of the Ameri can Psy cho logi cal As so cia tion (APA) and the Association for Psy cho log i cal Science (APS). Psi Chi's sister honor society is Psi Beta, the na tion al honor society in psychology for com mu nity and junior colleges. Psi Chi functions as a federation of chap ters located at over 1,150 senior col leg es and universities around the world. The Psi Chi Central Office is lo cat ed in Chatta nooga, Ten nessee. A Board of Directors, com posed of psy chol o gy faculty who are Psi Chi members and who are elect ed by the chapters, guides the affairs of the Or ga ni za tion and sets pol i cy with the ap prov al of the chap ters. Psi Chi membership provides two major opportunities. The first of these is ac a dem ic rec og ni tion to all in duc tees by the mere fact of mem ber ship. The sec ond is the opportunity of each of the Society's local chapters to nourish and stim u late the pro fes sion al growth of all members through fellowship and activities de signed to augment and en hance the reg u lar cur ric u lum. In addition, the Or ga ni za tion provides programs to help achieve these goals including con ven tions, research awards and grants competitions, and publication opportunities. JOURNAL PURPOSE STATEMENT The twofold purpose of the Psi Chi Journal of Psychological Research is to foster and reward the scholarly efforts of Psi Chi members, whether students or faculty, as well as to provide them with a valuable learning experience. The articles pub lished in the Journal represent the work of under graduates, graduate students, and faculty; the Journal is dedicated to increas ing its scope and relevance by accepting and involving diverse people of varied racial, ethnic, gender identity, sexual orientation, religious, and social class backgrounds, among many others. To further support authors and enhance Journal visibility, articles are now available in the PsycINFO ® , EBSCO ® , Crossref ® , and Google Scholar databases. In 2016, the Journal also became open access (i.e., free online to all readers and authors) to broad en the dissemination of research across the psychological science community.
