Identity-based motivations and anticipated reckoning: Contributions to gift-giving theory from an identity-stripping context

Jill G. Klein, Tina M. Lowrey, Cele C. Otnes, J.G. Klein, more

Journal of Consumer Psychology > 2015 > 25 > 3 > 431-448

We utilize the Identity-Based Motivation (IBM) model to examine gift giving within the identity-stripping context of Nazi concentration camps, as reported in the memoirs of Holocaust survivors. By exploring gift giving in this crisis-laden context, we demonstrate the fundamental role gifts can play in reestablishing personal and social identities. In doing so, we provide insights into the motivations...

Group membership alters the threshold for mind perception: The role of social identity, collective identification, and intergroup threat

Leor M. Hackel, Christine E. Looser, Jay J. Van Bavel, L.M. Hackel, more

Journal of Experimental Social Psychology > 2014 > 52 > Complete > 15-23

Human faces are used as cues to the presence of social agents, and the ability to detect minds and mental states in others occupies a central role in social interaction. In the current research, we present evidence that the human propensity for mind perception is bound by social group membership. Specifically, we show how identification with different social groups influences the threshold for mind...

Defensive Partisanship? Evidence that In‐Party Scandals Increase Out‐Party Hostility

Zachary K. Rothschild, Lucas A. Keefer, Julianna Hauri

Political Psychology > 42 > 1 > 3 - 21

Contemporary U.S. politics is characterized by polarization and interpartisan antipathy. This is accompanied by a media landscape saturated with coverage of political scandals. Applying a social identity perspective, we examined whether exposure to scandals that threaten partisan's moral group image (i.e., in‐party scandals), may motivate defensive hostility against opposing partisans. Across three...

Distancing from a stigmatized social identity: State of the art and future research agenda on self‐group distancing

Ruth Veelen, Jenny Veldman, Colette Van Laar, Belle Derks

European Journal of Social Psychology > 50 > 6 > 1089 - 1107

Despite equal rights, minority groups such as ethnic minorities, LGBTQ + people, and people with mental or physical disabilities face discrimination on a day‐to‐day basis in subtle and hard‐to‐recognize forms. As discrimination slips beneath the surface, it becomes difficult to fight the stigma using collective social identity coping mechanisms. Instead, individual mobility responses such as distancing...

Group evaluations as self‐group distancing: Ingroup typicality moderates evaluative intergroup bias in stigmatized groups

Iniobong Essien, Sabine Otten, Juliane Degner

European Journal of Social Psychology > 50 > 6 > 1108 - 1124

Outgroup favoritism among members of stigmatized groups can be seen as a form of self‐group distancing. We examined how intergroup evaluations in stigmatized groups vary as a function of ingroup typicality. In Studies 1 and 2, Black participants (N = 125,915; N = 766) more strongly preferred light‐skinned or White relative to dark‐skinned or Black individuals the lighter their own skin tone. In Study...

The workplace experiences of BAME professional women: Understanding experiences at the intersection

Victoria Opara, Ruth Sealy, Michelle K. Ryan

Gender, Work & Organization > 27 > 6 > 1192 - 1213

Situated within workplace equality and discrimination scholarship, this article focuses on intersectional identity narratives. We seek to better understand the workplace experiences of British Black, Asian and minority ethnic (BAME) professional women, and how these experiences impact on a range of wellbeing outcomes. The absence of research relating to BAME professional women reflects a failure to...

A gentle reminder that mean does not imply modal behavior: Few are in‐group biased in minimal groups

Anders Sand

Scandinavian Journal of Psychology > 61 > 6 > 794 - 802

Previous research reports that people organized into newly formed, arbitrary groups (i.e., minimal groups) are on average in‐group biased. However, that people on average behave in a certain way does not imply that most people behave that way. Here, I report four studies (n = 224) demonstrating in‐group biased average behaviors driven by a minority of about 30% participants. Further, only 14% reported...

What is intersectionality and why is it important in oral health research?

Vanessa Elaine Muirhead, Adrienne Milner, Ruth Freeman, Janine Doughty, more

Community Dentistry and Oral Epidemiology > 48 > 6 > 464 - 470

This paper is the second of two reviews that seek to stimulate debate on new and neglected avenues in oral health research. The first commissioned narrative review, “Inclusion oral health: Advancing a theoretical framework for policy, research and practice”, published in February 2020, explored social exclusion, othering and intersectionality. In it, we argued that people who experience social exclusion...

Child maltreatment is linked to difficulties in identifying with social groups as a young adult

Fabio Sani, Marina Herrera, Karolina Bielawska

British Journal of Developmental Psychology > 38 > 4 > 491 - 496

Subjective feelings of disconnectedness from social groups have been found to be detrimental to mental health. However, little is known about the factors determining people’s ability to attach to groups. We contend that child maltreatment will impair people’s ability to group identification across the lifespan, and present a cross‐sectional study involving 396 young adults from Spain, aimed at testing...

Shared social identification in mass gatherings lowers health risk perceptions via lowered disgust

Daniella Hult Khazaie, Sammyh S. Khan

British Journal of Social Psychology > 59 > 4 > 839 - 856

Previous research concerning mass gathering‐associated health risks has focused on physical factors while largely neglecting the role of psychological factors. The present research examined the effect of experiencing shared social identification on perceptions of susceptibility to health risks in mass gatherings. Participants in Study 1 were asked to either recall a crowd in which they shared a social...

Saving a victim from himself: The rhetoric of the learner’s presence and absence in the Milgram experiments

David Kaposi

British Journal of Social Psychology > 59 > 4 > 900 - 921

This paper contests what has remained a core assumption in social psychological and general understandings of the Milgram experiments. Analysing the learner/victim’s rhetoric in experimental sessions across five conditions (N = 170), it demonstrates that what participants were exposed to was not the black‐and‐white scenario of being pushed towards continuation by the experimental authority and pulled...

Making connections: Social identification with new treatment groups for lifestyle management of severe obesity

Sammyh S. Khan, Mark Tarrant, Katarina Kos, Mark Daly, more

Clinical Psychology & Psychotherapy > 27 > 5 > 686 - 696

Groups are regularly used to deliver healthcare services, including the management of obesity, and there is growing evidence that patients' experiences of such groups fundamentally shape treatment effects. This study investigated factors related to patients' shared social identity formed within the context of a treatment group for the management of severe obesity. A cross‐sectional survey was administered...

Framework model for consumer choices: the interplay of social identity, trends, norms and values

Anna Horodecka

Przegląd Prawno-Ekonomiczny > 2019 > 4 > 43-72

W ostatnich latach ekonomiści odnoszą się do społecznie osadzonego modelu jednostki. Rozważają także wpływ społeczeństwa na indywidualne wybory dokonywane przez instytucje. Niektórzy ekonomiści wzmacniają rolę kultury jako mediatora między społeczeństwem a jednostką. Inni autorzy koncentrują się na roli tożsamości społecznych. Te ostatnie umożliwiają jednostce dostosowanie się do społeczeństwa i przestrzeganie...

Follow the Crowd: How Social Information and Social Identity Influence Investing Decisions

Stephen Kuselias

Abacus > 56 > 3 > 407 - 435

Increasingly, jurisdictions around the world have been enacting standards that formally allow organizations to offer equity using the crowdfunding model. Using the Internet, the crowdfunding model raises capital by soliciting from a large number of people (i.e., the crowd). A key feature of crowdfunding that has been embraced by regulators is the use of social information to inform investors as a...

The Volatility of Collective Action: Theoretical Analysis and Empirical Data

Winnifred Louis, Emma Thomas, Craig McGarty, Morgana Lizzio‐Wilson, more

Political Psychology > 41 > S1 > 35 - 74

Collective action is volatile: characterized by swift, unexpected changes in intensity, target, and forms. We conduct a detailed exploration of four reasons that these changes occur. First, action is about identities which are fluid, contested, and multifaceted. As the content of groups’ identities change, so do the specific norms for the identities. Second, social movements adopt new tactics, or...

Subjective status and perceived legitimacy across countries

Mark J. Brandt, Toon Kuppens, Russell Spears, Luca Andrighetto, more

European Journal of Social Psychology > 50 > 5 > 921 - 942

The relationships between subjective status and perceived legitimacy are important for understanding the extent to which people with low status are complicit in their oppression. We use novel data from 66 samples and 30 countries (N = 12,788) and find that people with higher status see the social system as more legitimate than those with lower status, but there is variation across people and countries...

Biocultural diversity in Late Pleistocene/Early Holocene Africa: Olduvai Hominid 1 (Tanzania) biological affinity and intentional body modification

John C. Willman, Raquel Hernando, Marie Matu, Isabelle Crevecoeur

American Journal of Physical Anthropology > 172 > 4 > 664 - 681

Objectives The dentition of Olduvai Hominid 1 (OH1) exhibits an anomalous pattern of dental wear that was originally attributed to either intentional cultural modification (filing) or plant processing behaviors. A differential diagnosis of the wear and assessment of the biological affinity of OH1 is presented. Materials and Methods Macroscopic and microscopic observations of all labial and buccal...

Community group membership protects the well‐being of adults experiencing socio‐economic disadvantage

Catherine Haslam, Tegan Cruwys, Melissa Xue‐Ling Chang, Bethany Eckley, more

Journal of Community & Applied Social Psychology > 30 > 4 > 381 - 387

The present research examined the mechanisms through which community groups improve well‐being in adults (N = 156) experiencing socio‐economic disadvantage. Analysis showed that joining a group improved outcomes by enhancing people's group identification and wider sense of belonging to multiple groups and that this effect was stronger for more socio‐economically disadvantaged participants.

How can ‘we’ help? Exploring the role of shared social identity in the experiences and benefits of volunteering

Debra Gray, Clifford Stevenson

Journal of Community & Applied Social Psychology > 30 > 4 > 341 - 353

Previous research on volunteering has largely focused on the individual characteristics and experiences of volunteers, or on their relationship with a volunteering organisation, neglecting the group dynamics of volunteering. To address this gap, we apply a social identity and “Social Cure” perspective in a thematic analysis of interviews with 40 volunteers from across the South of England. This analysis...

Differential roles of push and pull factors on escape for travel: Personal and social identity perspectives

Noela Michael, Munyaradzi W. Nyadzayo, Ian Michael, Sreejith Balasubramanian

International Journal of Tourism Research > 22 > 4 > 464 - 478

This study examines the effects of push and pull motivations linked to an individual's personal and social identities as key antecedents to escape for travel. In terms of push factors, escape for travel is driven from a personal identity perspective by the need for evaluation of self and regression and from a social identity perspective by the need for social interaction but not enhancement of kinship...
