• Towards psychological herd immunity: Cross-cultural evidence for two prebunking interventions against COVID-19 misinformation (2021, background): “Research suggests that the more certain individuals are of their attitudes, the more likely an inoculation is to guide behaviour (Rucker and Petty, 2004), help resist persuasion (Tormala and Petty, 2002), and persist over time (Tormala, 2016).”
• What Is the Function of Confirmation Bias? (2020, background): “…the more convinced you are about your trait ascription to A, the clearer your signaling of the corresponding expectations to A in your behavior (Tormala 2016) and the higher the normative impetus on him, as a cooperative subject, to conform so as to avoid disrupting interactions with you.”
