When ‘Can I help you?’ hurts: Roma experiences of everyday microaggressions in retail outlets British Journal of Social Psychology (IF 3.2) Pub Date : 2024-07-18 Boglarka Nyul, Anna Kende, József Pántya, Luca Váradi, Jeremy Braverman, Ádám Hushegyi, Sára Csaba, Nóra Anna Lantos, Nick Hopkins
The concept of microaggressions alerts us how majority group members' everyday behaviour can impact minorities negatively. Recently, some researchers have questioned the criteria for identifying microaggressions and rejected the concept's utility. We maintain that attending to minorities' everyday experiences is important and illustrate this through a three‐phase study with Roma in Hungary. First,

‘Not a party to this crime’: The reciprocal constitution of identity and morality by signatories of the Academics for Peace petition in Turkey British Journal of Social Psychology (IF 3.2) Pub Date : 2024-07-17 Yasemin Gülsüm Acar, Canan Coşkan, Elif Sandal‐Önal, Stephen Reicher
In this paper, we examine how social identity, moral obligation and the relationship between the two shaped support for the 2016 Academics for Peace petition in Turkey. We examine the pre‐trial statements of nine defendants charged for signing the petition and appearing in court on the same day in December 2018. We first conduct an inductive thematic analysis on one statement, and then, using the themes

How the manner in which data is visualized affects and corrects (mis)perceptions of political polarization British Journal of Social Psychology (IF 3.2) Pub Date : 2024-07-17 JonRobert Tartaglione, Lee de‐Wit
While the mechanisms underlying polarization are complex, scholars have consistently found a pervasive overestimation of perceptions of polarization to be a contributing factor. We argue that one mitigation strategy that can work at scale to address such misperceptions might be relatively straightforward: better data visualizations of cross‐party attitudes on key issues. In a large‐scale (N = 6603)

Moral trade‐offs reveal foundational representations that predict unique variance in political attitudes British Journal of Social Psychology (IF 3.2) Pub Date : 2024-07-09 Amrita Ahluwalia‐McMeddes, Adam Moore, Calum Marr, Zara Kunders
Moral Foundations Theory (MFT) explains variation in moral judgements on the basis of multiple innate, intuitive foundations and has been subject to criticism over recent years. Prior research has tended to rely on explicit self‐report in the Moral Foundations Questionnaire (MFQ). In contrast, we seek to capture intuitive choices between foundations in a novel task – the Moral Foundations Conflict

Motivations to engage in collective action: A latent profile analysis of refugee supporters British Journal of Social Psychology (IF 3.2) Pub Date : 2024-07-09 Lisette Yip, Emma F. Thomas, Ana‐Maria Bliuc, Mihaela Boza, Anna Kende, Morgana Lizzio‐Wilson, Gerhard Reese, Laura G. E. Smith
What motivates people to participate in collective action? Some actions such as symbolic or online actions are often critiqued as performative allyship, motivated by personal gain rather than genuine concern for the cause. We aim to adjudicate this argument by examining the quality of motivations for acting, drawing on the insights of self‐determination theory and the social identity approach. Using

The motivations and reputational consequences of spreading conspiracy theories British Journal of Social Psychology (IF 3.2) Pub Date : 2024-07-06 Shen Cao, Jan‐Willem van Prooijen, Mark van Vugt
Some people deliberately spread conspiracy theories. What are the reputational benefits and costs of doing so? The Adaptive‐Conspiracism hypothesis proposes that it pays to be vigilant against possible conspiracies, especially in case of intergroup threat. Those who spread conspiracy theories may therefore be seen as valuable group members. Few studies have focused on the reputational impact of spreading

A mixed‐methods approach to understand victimization discourses by opposing feminist sub‐groups on social media British Journal of Social Psychology (IF 3.2) Pub Date : 2024-07-05 Christina Maxwell, Hema Preya Selvanathan, Sam Hames, Charlie R. Crimston, Jolanda Jetten
Opposing social movements are groups that have conflicting objectives on a shared social justice issue. To maximize the probability of their movement's success, groups can strategically portray their group in a favourable manner while discrediting their opposition. One such approach involves the construction of victimization discourses. In this research, we combined topic modelling and critical discursive

Objective/BackgroundConservative ideology, broadly speaking, has been widely linked to greater happiness and meaning in life. Is that true of all forms of a good life? We examined whether a psychologically rich life is associated with political orientation, system justification, and Protestant work ethic, independent of two other traditional forms of a good life: a happy life and a meaningful life

“I Think I Just like Having Sex”: A Qualitative Study of Sexual Assault Survivors and Their Sexual Pleasure Sex Roles (IF 3.0) Pub Date : 2024-07-02 Erin O’Callaghan, Katherine Lorenz
Sexual assaults’ effects on survivors’ sexual pleasure have been well-documented in the literature. However, much of this research is quantitative in nature and focuses on the negative effects of assault on sexual satisfaction. The present study seeks to address a gap in the literature that has failed to ask survivors what they enjoy about having sex and the pleasure they derive from sex. Through a

The core tendencies underlying prosocial behavior: Testing a person–situation framework Journal of Personality (IF 3.2) Pub Date : 2024-07-02 Natalie Popov, Isabel Thielmann
Objective and BackgroundAccording to a recently proposed theoretical framework, different personality traits should explain pro‐social behavior in different situations. We empirically tested the key proposition of this framework that each of four “core tendencies” (i.e., the shared variance of related traits) specifically predicts pro‐social behavior in the presence of a different situational affordance

The present research examined whether consideration of individuals' certainty in their holism can enhance the ability of this individual difference to predict how they respond to contradiction‐relevant outcomes. Across four studies, participants first completed a standardized measure of holistic‐analytic thinking. Then, they rated how certain they were in their responses to the holism scale or were

The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID‐19) pandemic has had a detrimental effect on people's mental health. Drawing on the palliative function of ideologies, we suggest that people rely on system‐justifying beliefs to mitigate psychological distress during the pandemic. We conducted three studies with correlational and experimental designs to examine whether and how system‐justifying beliefs can buffer

Different power perceptions based on socially situated needs: Findings from a qualitative study among Asian Americans British Journal of Social Psychology (IF 3.2) Pub Date : 2024-06-22 Hu Young Jeong, Johanna Ray Vollhardt, Michelle S. Twali, John Tawa
While power is often defined and operationalized as control or influence over others, alternative conceptualizations define power as the ability to meet various fundamental needs. We argue that this conceptualization may better capture how marginalized minority group members understand their group's power or powerlessness. However, there is little research examining how people themselves construe group‐based

Unethical prosocial behaviour and self‐dehumanization: The roles of social connectedness and perceived morality British Journal of Social Psychology (IF 3.2) Pub Date : 2024-06-22 Jingyan Wang, Hong Zhang
Unethical prosocial behaviour (UPB) refers to acts where people violate widely held moral rules to benefit others. In light of previous research on the association between immoral behaviours and dehumanization, we examined whether and how engaging in UPB would impact the tendency to self‐dehumanize. Across four studies (valid N = 1640), we found that UPB led to less self‐dehumanization than unethical

Socialization experiences around having an intersex variation have lasting impacts on intersex individuals’ well-being. Understanding commonalities in socialization experiences of intersex children and adolescents can inform influential figures in the lives of intersex individuals on how to provide improved support and positive socialization.

Individuals and governments often fail to take action to address climate change owing largely to widespread politicization of the issue and related discourse. In response to recent appeals for non‐partisan approaches to pro‐environmentalism, we propose that highlighting one's responsibility to future generations (RFG) could offer promise across the political spectrum. We argue that RFG may be effective

Music artists can be powerful sources of representation about what it means to have a high status. Previous literature has shown that artists display their high status by singing about economic factors, such as driving expensive cars. Yet, we do not know whether artists also showcase a high status in their lyrics by identifying with a particular social group and showing power via sexual objectification

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
