Anders ausgedrückt: Der Zuspruch zu unserer Demokratie hat auch damit zu tun, wie stark sich Individuen mit der Gesellschaft verbunden fühlen. Denn bei Menschen, die sich häufig einsam, unverbunden und unverstanden fühlen, ist die Wahrscheinlichkeit höher, dass sie Verschwörungserzählungen glauben, politische ...

Bosch-Domènech et al. (2014) reported a negative association between 2D:4D, a suggested marker of prenatal testosterone exposure, and the Cognitive Reflection Test (CRT) in a sample of 623 university students. In this pre-registered study, we test whether we can replicate their findings in a general population sample of over 2,500 individuals from Germany.
