Social Category Modulation of the Happy Face Advantage
The size of the happy face advantage—faster categorization of happy faces—is modulated by interactions between perceiver and target social categories, with reliable happy face advantages for ingroups but not necessarily outgroups. The current understanding of this phenomenon is constrained by the limited social categories typically used in experiments. To better understand the mechanism(s) underpinning social category modulation of the happy face…
An Intervention Addressing Impostor Phenomenon in Undergraduate Physics and Astronomy
The experience of the impostor phenomenon, when a person doubts themselves and believes that they are underqualified and do not belong in a position as a result, can be a challenge for undergraduate physics students. In a small-scale interview study, we found that the impostor phenomenon was frequently reported by physics undergraduates. On this basis, we developed an intervention to target the impostor phenomenon. The intervention had three phas…
Discipline-based social identity and organizational identity as predictors of approaches to learning and evaluation of teaching
The present research aimed to tease apart the meaning of the “student” identity in higher education by distinguishing the concepts and affordances of discipline-based social identity and organizational identity. Across three studies we examine discipline-based and organizational social identities’ relations to educational outcomes and evaluations of the student experience. Our first study ( n = 203) examines the relationships between identity, en…
Exploring the links between psychological flexibility, individual well‐being, and relationship quality
The ability to engage flexibly with thoughts and behavior in line with the demands of a situation—termed psychological flexibility —has been linked to individual well‐being. This registered report presents two studies that investigate the links between psychological flexibility, individual well‐being, and relationship quality. Using structural equation modeling, Study 1 found that people who were more psychologically flexible reported higher leve…
