    Open AccessAnneke Vrugt, Carolijn VetARTICLESocial Behavior and Personality…2009

    In this study 480 native Dutch passers-by (240 men and 240 women) were approached with a request to participate in an investigation. The request was made by either a female or male experimenter wearing either a smile or a neutral expression. Results showed that a smiling experimenter elicited a smile from participants more often than when a neutral expression was displayed. Furthermore, there was a distinct correlation between a participant's smi…

  • Smiling and self‐presentation of men and women for job photographs

    Open AccessAnneke Vrugt, Marieke Van EechoudARTICLEEuropean Journal of Social…2002References: 23

    The present research studied the factors that influence the smiling behaviour of men and women. We assumed that men and women who actively engage in self‐presentation use smiling as a strategy to take advantage of the expectations of others in order to realize their own goals. In the research situation, the participants imagined that they wanted to obtain a certain part‐time job. We expected that gender‐role expectations, the gender‐typing and st…

  • Goal orientations, perceived self-efficacy and study results amongst beginners and advanced students

    Open AccessAnneke Vrugt, Frans J Oort et al.ARTICLEBritish Journal of Educational…2002Cited by: 3

    Background: On the basis of previous research, it was expected that perceived self-efficacy and social comparison would contribute to pursued goals and that these goals would influence course grades. It was further expected that a task orientation would contribute to perceived self-efficacy, and that an ego orientation would contribute to social comparison.Aims: The central question in the present study is whether the relationships between the ab…

  • The Contribution of Bodily Posture to Gender Stereotypical Impressions

    Open AccessAnneke Vrugt, Mara LuyerinkARTICLESocial Behavior and Personality…2000

    The present study investigated the way in which the bodily posture, viz, the sitting position, of men and women contributes to gender stereotypical impressions. We expected that men would more often adopt a “wide” sitting position (legs apart and arms away from the trunk), while women would more often adopt a “closed” sitting position (upper legs against each other and arms against the trunk) and that these sitting positions would generally be se…

  • Stereotypes with Respect to Elderly Employees: The Contribution of Attribute Information and Representativeness

    Open AccessAnneke Vrugt, Marc J Schabracq et al.ARTICLEJournal of Community & Applied…1996References: 2

    The present study has investigated whether stereotypes about older employees with a university education are influenced by attribute, i.e. individuating, information and the representativeness of the employee for his social group. Written descriptions were used in which the age of the employee (younger than 30 or older than 55), attribute information (preference for fixed tasks, fixed tasks with little variation or varying were varied tasks), and…

  • Perceived self-efficacy, social comparison, affective reactions and academic performance

    Open AccessAnneke VrugtARTICLEBritish Journal of Educational…1994Cited by: 1

    The present study is based on Bandura's theory of perceived self-efficacy and on Wills' theory of downward comparison. We expected that perceived self-efficacy and downward comparison, separately and in combination, would contribute to the positive feelings of university students regarding their skills and by way of these feelings to their study performance. The results largely support this expectation. Both perceived self-efficacy and downward c…

  • Preferential treatment of women and psychological reactance theory: An experiment

    Open AccessAnneke VrugtARTICLEEuropean Journal of Social…1992References: 3

    Male academic staff members received a Low‐ or High‐threat (freedom restricting) description of measures for the preferential treatment of women in job selection for academic staff functions. The High‐threat condition evoked more psychological reactance than the Low‐threat condition. Persons with high self‐esteem manifested a more negative attitude in the High‐threat than in the Low‐threat condition. Social position did not interact significantly…
