This is a good topic that is being researched and I agree that this is a very new idea, but that fact that your hypothesis was partially significant there is further research that can be made about this topic.

Only concern that I have is that when you all presented you made comments like “um” and “this sort of thing” which can make viewers feel you are not as confident in your research. Just something to watch out for when presenting. Overall, you all did great!

I immediately clicked on this study when a saw the title. I like that people are researching this topic and your findings make a lot of sense to me

Cancel culture is an interesting research area. I think people have been actually “cancelling” their support for others and businesses for a long time, but now we finally have a name for it. Glad to see you have started some research in this area. Clearly, there is a lot of room for more research on this.

This was a super interesting topic! I feel like cancel culture is something that is very prevalent now. Why is it that being liberal is related to being more likely to cancel? This was super interesting to me but of course I am more interested into the why that is the way that is. Maybe it would be interesting to see what personality differences liberal vs non-liberal people have to investigate which specific traits factor into cancel culture.

Interesting topic. How did you define “cancelling” for your participants? I’m also wondering if you could use research from the boycotting literature to help justify your hypotheses since this is such a new area of research. Has anyone found that personality traits or the dark triad are related to boycotting?

I am interested in how you see “canceling” as different from boycotting – has that difference has been formally established anywhere? I’m sure there are differences between the two, but I didn’t quite get how changing that word on your surveys separated those two constructs in terms of how they are conceptually defined. I agree with Dr. Kolar that this is likely something that people have been doing for a long time and now we have a name for it or are calling it something different.

Great job! I’m most interested in why neuroticism might be involved. Will it be replicable? How does it interact with politics? It’s a cool finding and the start of what might be a promising line of research.

This was a really well conducted study! You clearly defined what cancel culture is, had clear hypotheses, and informative data. It was really clever using the boycott scale as a cancel culture scale. My main question is why neurotic people tended to participate in cancel culture more than other people? I wonder what the link between neuroticism and cancel culture is?

I had never thought about what types of factors went into whether someone participated in “cancel culture” or not, so it was interesting to see that a person’s political leaning had a significant effect.

The presentation was so clean.

This was a cool presentation! I found it interesting that you measured things such as narcissism and psychopathy and said that maybe people will those traits would be more likely to be part of cancel culture. I thought this was interesting because although cancel culture is bad, I wouldn’t have thought about measuring things like psychopathy. I also never really thought about traits of someone who participates in cancel culture, so this was very interesting!

Great topic! I haven’t heard of the Cancel culture before, and I found it very interesting to learn. I found it interesting how the Boycot scale is an effective means to make a company change its mind. I also found it interesting how in the cancel culture scale, it’s an effective means to make a company or public figure responsible for their actions.

I thought that this study was very well-done and very interesting and uncommon. Cancel culture is a topic that is very common, and it is used against people and organizations very often, so this was a different kind of study. I wasn’t aware of all of the factors of cancel culture such as dichotomy and psychopathy. I thought it was very intriguing to see how correlated political leaning and cancel culture is, but at this time it makes lots of sense. Overall, this presentation was great!

I think that the idea of using psychopathy and narcissism as traits to measure along with Cancel culture. This is a really topical study in today’s environment, and I think if could provide some really interesting results with further research!

With Cancel culture happening all over and profoundly out in the open due to Social media this is a very interesting research topic. It’s very interesting that you measured things such as narcissism and psychopathy and the fact that its a predominant trait in people that participate in Cancel culture.
