Research has found that psychological groups based on opinion congruence are an important group type. Previous research constructed such groups around opinions potentially connected to pre-existing identities. We strip away the socio-structural context by using novel opinions to determine whether opinion congruence alone can be a category cue which can foster identification and whether such group identification mediates the relationship between opinion exposure and opinion polarization. We assess this across two pre-registered online interactive experiments. Study 1 (N = 1168) demonstrate that opinion congruence fostered stronger identity than minimal groups. Study 2 (N = 505) demonstrate that opinion congruence fostered stronger identification than non-opinion congruence. The relationship between opinion exposure and opinion polarization occurs through group identification in both. Results demonstrate that (novel) opinions can be self-categorization cues informing identification and influencing opinion polarization.

Exploring Congruence Between Patient and Clinician Expectations of Benefit in the Non-Surgical Management of Common Musculoskeletal Conditions in Tertiary Care.
Musculoskeletal Care

Physiotherapy Department, Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital, Brisbane, Australia.
Background: Patient and clinician expectations of benefit from recommended management approaches may potentially impact the success of managing musculoskeletal conditions.
Methods: This was a multisite study in an advanced practice musculoskeletal service across Queensland, Australia. Relationships between patient and clinician (advanced physiotherapy practitioner) expectations of benefit, patient characteristics, and clinical outcome recorded 6 months later were explored with regression analysis in 619 patients undergoing non-surgical multidisciplinary care for either knee osteoarthritis (n = 286), low back pain (n = 249) or shoulder impingement syndrome (n = 84).

Background: Arterial thrombosis is increasingly recognized in children and is most commonly related to the presence of an arterial catheter. Diagnosis and treatment of arterial thrombosis in children varies widely and consists of commonly available anticoagulants and antiplatelet drugs. No evidence-based guidelines exist for management strategies of catheter related arterial thrombosis (CAT).

December 2024
Department of Psychology, University of Haifa.
Valence, the representation of a stimulus as positive or negative, is fundamental to conceptualizing attitudes and their empirical research. Valence has two potential representations: semantic and affective. The current line of studies investigates the degree to which the congruency effect of the Brief Implicit Association Test (BIAT), often used as an indirect evaluation measure, reflects affective or semantic aspects of valence.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), tobacco use causes over 8 million deaths annually including 1.3 million due to second-hand exposure. Furthermore, data from the Tobacco Atlas show that the tobacco industry continues to target new markets in the WHO African region, one of two regions where absolute numbers of smokers continue to increase.

Department of Public and Occupational Health, Amsterdam Public Health research institute, Amsterdam UMC, Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, Amsterdam, the Netherlands.
Background: Evidence is lacking on the most effective values clarification methods (VCMs) in patient decision aids (PtDAs). We tested the effects of an adaptive conjoint analysis (ACA)-based VCM compared with a ranking-based VCM and no VCM on several decision-related outcomes, with the decisional conflict and its subscale "perceived values clarity" as primary outcomes.
Design: Online experimental study with 3 conditions: no VCM versus ranking-based VCM versus -based VCM ( = 282; = 63.
