The resurgence of militarism in global politics underscores the importance of examining sociocultural factors contributing to this phenomenon. Since militarism is deeply intertwined with masculine ideals—exemplified by institutions such as the army—this study investigated the relationships between Traditional Masculinity Ideology (TMI), authoritarian submission, authoritarian aggression, and military attitudes among Russian men, particularly in the context of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. A cross-sectional study with three independent samples of Russian men (N1 = 366, N2 = 301, N3 = 555) demonstrated that TMI was positively related to both authoritarian submission and authoritarian aggression. These authoritarian attitudes were, in turn, associated with pro-military attitudes. Both authoritarian submission and authoritarian aggression were related to support for military actions endorsed by political authorities, attitudes toward all forms of military violence, including excessive violence against unarmed individuals. Moreover, TMI demonstrated indirect effects on military attitudes via authoritarian submission and authoritarian aggression, signifying the role of political authorities in state-based violence. Among the specific TMI domains, only negativity toward sexual minorities consistently positively predicted (beyond the general TMI factor) authoritarian submission, authoritarian aggression, and pro-military attitudes. In contrast, other domains showed inconsistent associations with both pro-military attitudes and authoritarian submission and aggression. Understanding the interplay between masculinity ideologies and authoritarian attitudes toward authorities is crucial for addressing the root causes of militarism and developing strategies to promote peace and reduce societal violence.

The rapid proliferation of misinformation in digital environments poses a serious threat to public health, political institutions, and public discourse. Behavioral research has accumulated substantial evidence on why people believe and share false information, yet individual studies address cognitive biases, social factors, or emotional processes largely in isolation.

The dynamics of opinion in a group are of interest for a number of practical purposes. In particular, consensus helps and polarization of opinions hinders cohesive teamwork. Existing approaches for modeling opinion dynamics mostly do not take into account the dynamism of social relations in a group. This paper proposes an algorithm and a program ...

We develop a novel cloud-function formalism describing the dynamical relationship between sensory-information processing in large-scale brain networks (supraliminal processing) and the content of the mental representation of an observed object. The formalism combines elements of neural field theory for large-scale neural activity with the spatial characteristics of perceived objects and their embedding in the environment ...

Language comprehension and production are predominantly supported by the left-lateralized language-related network (LRN). However, right-hemispheric homologs of the language regions can also contribute to language processing, resulting in reduced left-hemispheric language lateralization. To date, it remains unclear whether less left-hemispheric language lateralization is associated with the recruitment of other non-language networks and their interaction with ...
