  • The effect of common humanity on forgiveness and collective action does not generalise to all victim groups

    Open AccessÖzden Melis Uluğ, Yasemin Gülsüm Acar et al.ARTICLEGroup Processes & Intergroup…2026References: 5

    Prior work has found that making common human identity salient increases forgiveness of perpetrators but reduces collective action intentions among victims of historical atrocities. We conducted three experiments to investigate the generalisability of this effect among Alevis—a religious minority found mainly in Turkey. Study 1 ( N = 222) found that the common human identity manipulation was unsuccessful and did not lead to differences in forgive…

  • Secrecy in Everyday Life

    Open AccessValentina Bianchi, Katharine H Greenaway et al.ARTICLEPersonality and Social Psychology…2025

    Secrecy is common, yet we know little about how it plays out in daily life. Most existing research on secrecy is based on methods involving retrospection over long periods of time, failing to capture secrecy “in the wild.” Filling this gap, we conducted two studies using intensive longitudinal designs to present the first picture of secrecy in everyday life. We investigated momentary contextual factors and individual differences as predictors of …

  • Do expressive suppression and cognitive reappraisal affect memory

    Katharine H Greenaway, Sylvia Chu Lin et al.ARTICLEEmotion2025

    A widely cited idea in the emotion regulation literature holds that expressive suppression impairs memory while cognitive reappraisal has no effect on or may enhance memory relative to control. However, empirical evidence for these effects has been inconsistent. To provide a definitive test, we conducted four well-powered experiments with more than 4,000 participants to examine the effects of reappraisal and suppression of negative emotion (Exper…

  • Do unto others: People use similar strategies to regulate their own emotions and the emotions of others

    Shir Ginosar Yaari, Lisanne S Pauw et al.ARTICLEEmotion2025

    Do people use similar strategies to regulate their own emotions (i.e., intrapersonal or self-oriented emotion regulation) and to regulate the emotions of others (i.e., interpersonal or other-oriented emotion regulation)? By answering this question, we try to shed light on why people regulate the emotions of others the way they do. We reasoned that because people imagine themselves as the target when deciding how to regulate others' emotions (Ball…

  • Trait emotion differentiation is associated with more instrumental emotion regulation motives when people feel negative in daily life

    Aya Uchida, Katharine H Greenaway et al.ARTICLEEmotion2025

    Emotion differentiation-the ability to precisely label emotions-reflects a nuanced understanding of one's emotional experiences. Researchers posit that this nuance may be associated with knowing how one can use their emotions. As a result, we hypothesize emotion differentiation may be linked with holding instrumental emotion regulation motives, which involve regulating emotions to attain their benefits beyond solely feeling better or worse. In th…

  • It's a match: Exploring joint emotion regulation profiles among mixed-sex couples

    Open AccessPauline Verhelst, Eva Ceulemans et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social and Personal…2025Cited by: 1References: 64

    How do couples differ from other couples in how they regulate their own and their partner's emotions? Although research on emotion regulation is blooming, insights into joint emotion regulation profiles-that is, the overlap between partners' specific strategies to regulate themselves and their partner-remain limited. To address this gap, we identified joint intra- and interpersonal emotion regulation profiles in 120 mixed-sex couples; clustering …

  • Dynamics of Social Experiences in the Context of Extended Lockdown

    Open AccessAnh Tran, Valentina Bianchi et al.ARTICLESocial Psychological and…2024

    Social interaction and loneliness have received much research interest. However, the direction of their relationship is unclear—does social interaction shape loneliness, or does loneliness shape willingness to interact? We explored dynamics of these social experiences under exceptional circumstances: COVID-19 lockdowns, which were necessary for public health but impacted people’s social lives. We investigated the relationship between social inter…

  • Uncertainty moderates the emotional consequences of reappraisal, social sharing, and rumination in daily life

    Ella K Moeck, Katharine H Greenaway et al.ARTICLEEmotion2024

    People must often wait for important but uncertain outcomes, like medical results or job offers. During such uncertain waiting periods , there is uncertainty around an outcome that people have minimal control over. Uncertainty makes these periods emotionally challenging, raising the possibility that emotion regulation strategies may have different effects while people wait for an uncertain outcome versus after they learn that outcome. To test thi…

  • Regulating emotions about secrets

    Open AccessValentina Bianchi, Katharine H Greenaway et al.ARTICLEEmotion2024

    Secrecy is common and psychologically costly. Research shows that secrets have high emotional stakes, but no research has directly tested how people regulate their emotions about secrets. To fill this gap, we conducted an experimental study (Study 1), then moved to studying secrecy "in the wild" to capture regulatory processes as they unfold in everyday life (Studies 2 and 3). In Study 1 ( N = 498), people reported using different strategies to r…

  • Why do we engage in everyday interpersonal emotion regulation

    Open AccessAnh Tran, Katharine H Greenaway et al.ARTICLEEmotion2024

    Interpersonal emotion regulation occurs when people influence others' emotions (extrinsic regulation) or turn to others to influence their own emotions (intrinsic regulation). Research on interpersonal regulation has tended to focus on how people regulate emotions, with little interrogation of why people do it, despite the importance of motives in driving emotion regulation goals and strategy selection. To fill this gap, we conducted a systematic…

  • Meta‐identification: Perceptions of others’ group identification shape group life

    Open AccessNiklas K Steffens, Katharine H Greenaway et al.ARTICLEEuropean Journal of Social…2024Cited by: 1References: 117

    In the present research, we introduce and develop the concept of meta‐identification – perceptions of others’ identification with a group – and examine its capacity to shape group life. Across two cross‐sectional studies and three experiments ( N total = 3992), we investigate the relationship between participants’ meta‐identification in an intragroup context and their group meaningfulness, collective self‐efficacy, organisational citizenship beha…

  • Physical Attractiveness Biases Judgments Pertaining to the Moral Domain of Purity

    Open AccessChristoph Klebl, Joshua J Rhee et al.ARTICLEPersonality and Social Psychology…2023

    Research on the Beauty-is-Good stereotype shows that unattractive people are perceived to have worse moral character than attractive individuals. Yet research has not explored what kinds of moral character judgments are particularly biased by attractiveness. In this work, we tested whether attractiveness particularly biases moral character judgments pertaining to the moral domain of purity, beyond a more general halo effect. Across four preregist…

  • Everyday emotional functioning in Covid-19 lockdowns

    Ella K Moeck, Rachel Freeman-Robinson et al.ARTICLEEmotion2023

    Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, policy makers have tried to balance the effectiveness of lockdowns (i.e., stay-at-home orders) with their potential mental health costs. Yet, several years into the pandemic, policy makers lack solid evidence about the toll of lockdowns on daily emotional functioning. Using data from two intensive longitudinal studies conducted in Australia in 2021, we compared the intensity, persistence, and regulation of emotio…

  • Does interpersonal emotion regulation effort pay off

    Anh Tran, Katharine H Greenaway et al.ARTICLEEmotion2023

    Interpersonal emotion regulation shapes people's emotional and relational experiences. Yet, researchers know little about the regulation processes that influence these outcomes. Recent works in the intrapersonal emotion regulation space suggest that motivational strength, or effort , people invest in regulation might be the answer. We applied this motivated approach for the first time in the interpersonal space-looking at both intrinsic and extri…

  • The bright side of secrecy: The energizing effect of positive secrets

    Michael L Slepian, Katharine H Greenaway et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality and Social…2023

    Existing wisdom holds that secrecy is burdensome and fatiguing. However, past research has conflated secrecy with the kinds of adverse events that are often kept secret. As a result, it is unclear whether secrecy is inherently depleting, or whether these consequences vary based on the underlying meaning of the secret. We resolve this confound by examining the consequences of positive secrets. In contrast to the prior research, five experiments (N…

  • Electing to Take Control: Political Identification and Personal Control

    Open AccessKatharine H GreenawayARTICLEPolitical Psychology2023Cited by: 2References: 37

    Engaging in the political process is one way that individuals can exert control over society in general. Yet, emerging research suggests that engaging with political groups also helps people feel more in control of the course of their own lives. The present research examined whether this is always the case, using the natural experiment afforded by political events to probe the psychological mechanisms underpinning the relationship between group i…

  • A Social-Identity Theory of Information-Access Regulation (Sitiar): Understanding the Psychology of Sharing and Withholding

    Open AccessWilliam Bingley, Katharine H Greenaway et al.ARTICLEPerspectives on Psychological…2022

    Secrecy, privacy, confidentiality, concealment, disclosure, and gossip all involve sharing and withholding access to information. However, existing theories do not account for the fundamental similarity between these concepts. Accordingly, it is unclear when sharing and withholding access to information will have positive or negative effects and why these effects might occur. We argue that these problems can be addressed by conceptualizing these …

  • Emotion regulation in everyday life: Mapping global self-reports to daily processes

    Peter Koval, Elise K Kalokerinos et al.ARTICLEEmotion2022

    Recent theory conceptualizes emotion regulation as occurring across three stages: (a) identifying the need to regulate, (b) selecting a strategy, and (c) implementing that strategy to modify emotions. Yet, measurement of emotion regulation has not kept pace with these theoretical advances. In particular, widely used global self-report questionnaires are often assumed to index people's typical strategy selection tendencies. However, it is unclear …

  • Ugliness Judgments Alert us to Cues of Pathogen Presence

    Open AccessChristoph Klebl, Katharine H Greenaway et al.ARTICLESocial Psychological and…2021

    Little is known about the psychology of ugliness. We propose that ugliness judgments are linked to the behavioral immune system, alerting us to objects that may contain potentially harmful diseases. Exploring this possibility, in five studies ( N = 1,552), we found that ugly human faces (Studies 1a and 1b), ugly animals (Study 2), and—to a lesser degree—ugly buildings (Study 2) elicit disgust controlling for other avoidance-motivated emotional re…

  • Emotion and its Management: The Lens of Language and Social Psychology

    Open AccessC Gallois, Eric J Vanman et al.ARTICLEJournal of Language and Social…2021

    In this paper, we briefly review the large research literature on emotion in social psychology, and show how it is now firmly embedded in language and communication. As a springboard, we look at the history of emotion studies in JLSP. Then, we consider theory and methodology, and evaluate how standard and more recent methods of measurement have led to new ways of looking at the communication of emotion, including in real-life contexts. We conclud…

  • Emotion experience and expression goals shape emotion regulation strategy choice

    Katharine H Greenaway, Elise K Kalokerinos et al.ARTICLEEmotion2021

    Research has begun to investigate how goals for emotion experience-how people want to feel-influence the selection of emotion regulation strategies to achieve these goals. We make the case that it is not only how people want to feel that affects strategy selection, but also how they want to be seen to feel. Incorporating this expressive dimension distinguishes four unique emotion goals: (1) to experience and express emotion; (2) to experience but…

    4,708) that use multiple methods including minimal group paradigms, correlational, longitudinal, and experimental designs to investigate the effect of shared social identity across diverse risk contexts. Studies 1 and 2 provided evidence for the basic premise of the model, showing that ingroup members were perceived as posing lower risk and inspired greater risk taking behavior than outgroup members. Study 3 found that social identification was a…
