    Jiin Jung, Aaron Bramson et al.ARTICLEAmerican Psychologist2021Citada por: 1

    The present research investigates how psychological mechanisms and social network structures generate patterns of cultural change and diversity. The two psychological mechanisms studied here are cultural drift and indirect minority influence; the former is parameterized by an error rate ε) and the latter by a leniency threshold (λ). The patterns of cultural change are examined in terms of magnitude (small vs. large), speed (gradual vs. rapid), an…

  • It's all relative

    Open AccessJames T Siegel, Danielle R Blazek et al.ARTICLEJournal of Health Psychology2021Citada por: 2Referências: 42

    Guided by vested interest theory, the impact of educating potential organ donors about the beneficial experiences afforded to families of deceased donors was assessed. Participants were informed about these benefits by taking a survey that asked them to indicate both their awareness, and the appeal, of numerous existing benefits (e.g. grief services). We employed a double-sided mixed design. Both the true experimental design and the quasi-experim…

  • Controlling Language and Irony

    Thomas V Staunton, Eusebio M Alvaro et al.ARTICLEBasic and Applied Social Psychology2020

    High-controlling (HC) language is explicit, clear, and efficient; however, it can be perceived as threatening, thus risking rejection. The benefits and drawbacks of using HC language presents a dilemma for message designers. Psychological reactance researchers have begun to examine strategies designed to utilize the virtues of HC language while mitigating the vices. We conducted three experiments to examine the effectiveness of irony as another s…

    Andrew Lac, William D Crano et al.ARTICLEDevelopmental Psychology2013Citada por: 1Referências: 2

Using a sample of 351 participants (18 to 20 years of age), the research integrated two theoretical traditions: attachment theory and theory of planned behavior (TPB). The predictive contribution of both theories was examined in the context of …

  • How Minorities Prevail

    Open AccessWilliam D Crano, Viviane SeyranianARTICLEJournal of Social Issues2009Citada por: 5Referências: 79

    The pioneering efforts of Moscovici in the late 1960s motivated social psychologists to understand how minority groups affected the majority, and conversely, how the majority affected the minority. The underlying processes of influence have been found to be quite different, and understanding their operation provides insight into the processes of social influence, persuasion, and intragroup conflict and cooperation. This review tracks some of the …

  • Dimensions of Majority and Minority Groups

    Open AccessViviane Seyranian, Hazel R Atuel et al.ARTICLEGroup Processes & Intergroup…2008Citada por: 12Referências: 16

    Several definitions of majority and minority groups can be found in the social psychological literature. They involve numeric size, power/status, and counternormative position, but size is most commonly used in experimental research to manipulate minority/minority status. Does this practice mirror real-world conceptualizations? To address this question, 77 participants were asked to describe majority and minority groups using a structured openend…

Study 2, in whic…

  • Attitudes and Persuasion
