Corruption erodes people's beliefs in morality and justice
In this research, we argue that corruption adversely affects individuals' perceived morality of politicians and their sense of justice, eroding some key values by which societies are guided. We further analyzed how the erosion of these key values might be negatively associated with people's well‐being. We found support for our contentions through multiple studies, including a cross‐national study comprising 82 countries surveyed over 32 years (St…
Breaking Bread
This study examines the role of ethnic cuisine as a potential mechanism for fostering outgroup tolerance. Data were collected via a web survey administered to a stratified, nationally representative sample of White adults from the United Kingdom ( N = 1,025). Results showed that greater enjoyment and frequency of ethnic food consumption were significantly associated with lower perceptions of immigrants as cultural and economic threats and with de…
Leaders or Villains? The Role of Corruption in Shaping the Stereotypes of Politicians
The ways in which politicians are stereotyped contribute to perceptions of the legitimacy of their power, status and leadership. In this research, we examined how corruption impacts the stereotypes of politicians. By examining stereotype content, we posited that corruption should elicit morality‐related traits, while in contexts of no corruption, both morality and competence should emerge as key dimensions. With two experiments ( N combined = 272…
Exploring the interaction between negative and positive intergroup contact among disabled people
This study integrates research on intergroup contact and the rejection–identification model to examine how negative and positive contact interact to influence both the health and well-being as well as the group identification (assessed as ingroup affect, ingroup ties, and centrality) of disabled people. We analysed data from a week-long diary study (Study 1; N = 83) and a longitudinal study (Study 2; N = 87) with three waves separated by 1 year. …
“No Walk, No Work”
O presente artigo reflete em torno do modo como, no contexto da Arte Atual, o ato ou ação do “caminhar” se tornou numa importante modalidade prática do pensamento para os territórios da teoria e da prática artística. À luz destas ideias, que tomam a caminhada enquanto instrumento de experimentação estética, procurar-se-á refletir acerca do seu uso, revisando alguns momentos da História da Arte, com o intuito de, a partir do trabalho de alguns aut…
Territórios impossíveis
O presente artigo tem como objetivo analisar, a partir dos conceitos de território, desterritorialização e reterritorialização dos filósofos franceses Gilles Deleuze e Félix Guattari, as conceções de natureza e artifício na sua possível relação com os domínios do pensamento e das práticas artísticas atuais. Em diálogo com estas, procurar-se-á entender o modo como as esferas de produção e artealização da arte existem mergulhadas num continuum de f…
Too old for technology? Stereotype threat and technology use by older adults
Older adults are often stereotyped as having less technological ability than younger age groups. As a result, older individuals may avoid using technology due to stereotype threat, the fear of confirming negative stereotypes about their social group. The present research examined the role of stereotype threat within the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Across two studies, experiencing stereotype threat in the technological domain was indirectly…
The Role of Short-Term and Longer Term Immigration Trends on Voting for Populist Radical Right Parties in Europe
The success of populist radical right parties (PRRPs) in Europe has, in part, been attributed to growing immigration, but previous findings have found an inconsistent relationship between immigration and voting for PRRPs. We address previous inconsistencies by suggesting a time-focused perspective on intergroup relations. We disentangle short-term from longer term immigration trends and argue that a recent increase in immigration should predict P…
Cognitive functioning mediates the relationship between self-perceptions of aging and computer use behavior in late adulthood
Although information and communication technologies have become an integral part of contemporary societies, substantial proportions of the older population remain distant from these digital tools. This stresses the importance of identifying age-specific factors that facilitate or prevent technology adoption among older age groups. Despite being powerful determinants of behavior and health in late adulthood, little is known about the role of stere…
Effects of neighbourhood religious diversity and religious and national identity on neighbourhood trust
This paper examines the relationship between religious diversity, religious and national identity, and neighbourhood trust. Using data from 6,089 individuals in England matched to census-based statistical estimates for 300 local areas, we find that religious diversity is negatively associated with neighbourhood trust. Further analyses tested indirect relationships between religious diversity and neighbourhood trust to examine whether higher level…

The interaction between social equality and personal assistance
Several countries have enacted personal assistance (PA) legislation over the past few decades. Although this policy has been associated with improvements in the quality of life, here we explore how it interacts with the social environment. We examine how the existence of PA legislation influences the effect of social equality on the health and well-being of disabled people. Multilevel analysis was performed using data from the European Social Sur…
Does Increasing Immigration Affect Ethnic Minority Groups
Immigration is increasing around the world. Academic work suggests that increasing immigration reduces social cohesion and subjective well-being, but these studies mainly focused on white majority populations. Using the 2002 to 2014 European Social Survey, we analyze data from 5,149 ethnic minority respondents living in twenty-four European countries. We examine the association between immigration and respondents' well-being, mediated by two crit…
The Association of Group‐Based Discrimination with Health and Well‐Being
Discrimination has negative consequences for the health and well‐being (HWB) of individuals belonging to disadvantaged groups. Due to social and attitudinal barriers, we argue that disabled people comprise one of the groups most affected by discrimination. Using data from the European Social Survey, including representative samples from 32 countries surveyed in seven waves (2002–2014), we compared the effects of ableism on HWB with discrimination…
The Good, the Bad, and the Long‐Term Implications of Social Diversity
Demographic trends reveal that modern societies have become more heterogeneous in terms of their ethnic composition. Concerns about social diversity and its implications have received critical scholarly attention, and it has become a prominent topic in several social sciences. The recent but already impressive amount of published research has examined the impact of social diversity (e.g., ethnic, religious diversity) on societal variables such as…
Corruption in Latin America
Latin America has experienced a series of recent corruption scandals, resulting in an unprecedented uncertainty in political leadership across the whole region. Within this context, we have conducted a survey study comprising nine countries in Latin America ( n = 1,250) examining the stereotype content of politicians. We tested a dual effects model in which the stereotypes of politicians were predicted to shape perceptions of justice directly and…
What hostile and benevolent sexism communicate about men’s and women’s warmth and competence
Ambivalent sexism theory (Glick & Fiske, 1996) distinguishes between two interrelated forms of sexism: Hostile and benevolent. Although this theory motivated a large body of work examining how endorsement of these views impacts on social interactions and women’s performance, no research has yet examined what these forms of sexism are seen to communicate about men and women. We report three studies examining the image that benevolent and hostile s…

The opportunities and challenges of diversity
Demographic trends reveal that modern societies have become increasingly diverse. Within the social sciences, these changes have been reflected in concerns about the implications of social diversity. Although early research noted that diversity may have negative consequences for societies and individuals, more recent scholarship has indicated that diversity is not always translated into negative outcomes. These inconsistent findings initiated a s…
Exposure to sexism can decrease implicit gender stereotype bias
Two studies examined the effect of exposure to sexism on implicit gender bias, focusing specifically on stereotypes of men as competent and women as warm. Male and female participants were exposed to sexism or no sexism. In both Experiment 1 (Implicit Association Task; N = 115) and Experiment 2 (Go/No‐go Association Task; N = 167), women who had been exposed to sexist beliefs demonstrated less implicit gender stereotype bias relative to women who…
A Longitudinal Study of the Effects of Discrimination on the Acculturation Strategies of International Students
The current study investigated the impact of discrimination on the acculturation strategies of international students in the United Kingdom. In a longitudinal study that followed students ( N = 113) for 1 year, the authors drew on social identity theory to understand the processes by which discrimination affects their acculturation strategies. Specifically, the study examined an indirect effect by which perceived discrimination affects acculturat…
Well‐being in cross‐cultural transitions
Two studies examined the effect of acculturation–contact discrepancies on well‐being. Specifically, we tested the prediction that well‐being will be compromised when cultural minorities' acculturation preferences are not met by the intergroup and intragroup contact in a new society. Study 1 found that for Polish immigrants ( n = 55) acculturation–contact discrepancies were associated with compromised well‐being. Study 2 followed a cohort of inter…
To Believe or Not to Believe in a Just World? The Psychological Costs of Threats to the Belief in a Just World and the Role of Attributions
Belief in a Just World (BJW) research has typically studied how individuals maintain and defend their beliefs from possible threats. However, none of this work has examined the psychological costs of threats to one's BJW. In the present research we tested its consequences on self-esteem. Focusing on threats related to relevant in-groups, we aimed to (1) understand the role of group identification in these processes and (2) identify the psychologi…
Minority goals for interaction with the majority
Four studies investigated the conditions under which minority group members respond to group‐based discrimination with increased identification with their group. We propose that minorities' interaction goals should serve as a moderator: seeking distance from the majority might keep minority identification alive in the face of perceived discrimination. These predictions were tested correlationally in Study 1 among Chinese immigrants in Australia (…
A longitudinal investigation of the rejection–identification hypothesis
The rejection–identification model (RIM; ) is supported by a number of previous studies (e.g., ; ). This suggests that rejection by an outgroup can lead minority group members to identify more with their ingroup, thereby buffering them from the negative effects of discrimination. However, contradictory findings have been produced by other research (e.g., ; ; ; ), suggesting that the relationship between rejection and identification is far from be…
