That's interesting! The role of epistemic emotions and perceived credibility in the relation between prior beliefs and susceptibility to fake-news
Commensality constitutes communalism: Producing emergent bonds in experimental small groups by sharing food and drink
Relational models theory provides an alternative framework to study group and intergroup processes. One of four models people use to constitute groups is communal sharing (CS). Ethnographic and experimental evidence suggests that CS is produced by concrete and symbolic enactments of connections between bodies (cuddling, touching, synchronicity, commensality). We tested the effect of commensality on CS and ingroup favouritism in four Experiments w…
Leaders’ influence on collective action: An identity leadership perspective
Little “we’s”: How common identities improve behavior differently for ethnic majority and minority children
This field experiment tested whether inducing common inclusive representations (i.e., one group, dual identity) during contact influences intergroup relations differently for ethnic majority and minority children by changing their metaperceptions and intergroup emotions differently. White ( N = 113) and Black ( N = 111) 8- to 10-year-old children were exposed to interactive mixed-ethnicity sessions in schools emphasizing either categorization as …
É cada um para o que nasce: Desenvolvimento das atribuições causais da pobreza infantil na infância e soluções percebidas para a pobreza
O presente estudo analisa o desenvolvimento das atribuições causais da pobreza infantil, o papel do estatuto sócio económico nestas atribuições e as soluções que as crianças identificam para a pobreza. Foram entrevistadas crianças com idades entre os 6 e 12 anos (N = 107), e os resultados mostram a prevalência da externalização das causas da pobreza, nomeadamente através de explicações fatalistas (e.g. sorte) e estruturalistas (e.g. desemprego). …
Leave or remain? European identification, legitimacy of European integration, and political attitudes towards the EU
In this paper, we look at the relationship between European identification and political support for (or opposition to) EU membership. First, we argue that conceptualizing political attitudes towards the EU as a direct product of European identification (a) neglects the distinction between the social reality of Europe and the political reality of the EU and (b) leads to psychological reductionism. We propose that the relationship should instead b…
Protective or harmful? Exploring the ambivalent role of social identification as a moderator of intergroup stress in sojourners
Reparation Demands and Collective Guilt Assignment of Black South Africans
The present research studied reparation demands of born-free Black South African adolescents as members of a former victimized group from a social psychological perspective. Two cross-sectional studies tested whether identification indirectly predicts reparation demands via assignment of collective guilt to White South Africans; and whether this indirect relation is moderated by cross-group friendship. The results support both hypotheses and show…
The Social Developmental Construction of Violence and Intergroup Conflict
Socio-Cultural Factors as Antecedents of Cross-Cultural Adaptation in Expatriates, International Students, and Migrants: A Review
Currently, international mobility is common. Living abroad requires adaptation to the new culture, and adaptation outcomes are influenced by various socio-cultural factors. The literature examining these factors is vast but highly specialized. This article reviews studies on adaptation in various groups of cross-cultural travelers to identify the social and cultural contextual antecedents that have been overlooked in each of the specialized resea…

Prejudice towards gay men and a need for physical cleansing
Efficiency and defense motivated ingroup projection: Sources of protoypicality in intergroup relations
The contexts and structures of relating to others: How memberships in different types of groups shape the construction of interpersonal relationships
A study tested hypotheses derived from relational models theory on how four models - communal sharing, authority ranking, equality matching, and market pricing - are used to structure relationships in different types of social groupings. Portuguese participants rated 10 relationships on the Modes of Relationships Questionnaire and reported their shared group memberships. The four-factor structure of the models was confirmed, and a bottom-up appro…
Superordinate identities and intergroup conflict: The ingroup projection model
This chapter summarises results from a research programme on the psychological basis of tolerance and discrimination in intergroup relations, with particular consideration of the role of superordinate identities. According to the ingroup projection model, a relevant superordinate group provides dimensions and norms for comparisons between ingroup and outgroup. Groups gain positive value or status when they are considered prototypical for the (pos…
Of bikers, teachers and Germans: Groups' diverging views about their prototypicality
The in‐group projection model hypothesizes that members of social groups generalize attributes of their in‐group to a superordinate category that provides dimensions for comparisons between in‐group and out‐group (in‐group projection). As a result, both groups in an intergroup situation should disagree about their relative prototypicality for the superordinate category. Three studies confirmed this prediction. In Study 1 (N = 54), it was found th…
When “different” means “worse”: In-group prototypicality in changing intergroup contexts
The Ingroup as Pars Pro Toto: Projection From the Ingroup Onto the Inclusive Category as a Precursor to Social Discrimination
In an approach to intergroup discrimination and tolerance, it is assumed that the outgroup’s difference from the ingroup is evaluated with reference to the prototype of the higher-order category that includes both groups. Two correlational studies yielded evidence that (a) group members tend to perceive their ingroup as relatively prototypical for the inclusive category (projection), (b) members highly identified with both ingroup and inclusive c…
Inclusion in a superordinate category, in-group prototypicality, and attitudes towards out-groups
Towards tolerance: Representations of superordinate categories and perceived ingroup prototypicality
Perceived legitimacy of intergroup status differences: Its prediction by relative ingroup prototypicality
Research demonstrates that the perceived legitimacy of intergroup status differences has profound effects on intergroup attitudes, emotions and behavior. However, there has only been little intergroup research that predicts the perception of legitimacy. We hypothesize that the perception of legitimate or illegitime status relations depends upon the perceived relative prototypicality of the ingroup for the inclusive category. Since the prototype o…
