The Switch to Daylight Saving Time and the Perceived Inappropriateness of Norm Violations
Social norms serve as efficient guidelines that specify which behavior is adequate in a given social context. Building on Conservation of Resources Theory, we argue that this is specifically the case under disruptive states and hypothesized that switching to daylight saving time result in harsher evaluations of norm violations. In a quasiexperimental study ( N = 724), individuals rated norm violations on the Monday following the switch to dayligh…
Ostracism and opinion extremization
Unholy alliances
Group identification can be both beneficial (a “social cure”) and detrimental (a “social curse”) for performance and well-being, which makes it crucial to explore its boundary conditions. Building on the norm enactment hypothesis and the influence hypothesis, we propose the group’s achievement norms as one such boundary condition. We argue that group identification predicts higher well-being and task performance if achievement norms are average, …

Testing the mixed-blessings model
It is well established that emphasizing a biogenetic etiology of mental health problems in anti-stigma interventions inadvertently increases potentially stigmatizing attitudes. The “mixed-blessings” model suggests that biogenetic explanations and greater stigma are linked by essentialism. The present study tests this hypothesis experimentally. In this online experiment, 367 subjects read either a biogenetic or a psychosocial explanation for the e…
Working with a sleep‐deprived or a cognitively enhanced team member compromises motivation to contribute to group performance
How does knowing another team member is cognitively impaired or enhanced affect people's motivation to contribute to the team's performance? Building on the Effects of Grouping on Impairments and Enhancements (GIE) framework, we conducted two between‐subjects experiments ( N total = 2,352) with participants from a representative, nationwide sample of the working population in Germany. We found that another group member's impairment (sleep depriva…

Is Work Engagement Exhausting? The Longitudinal Relationship Between Work Engagement and Exhaustion Using Latent Growth Modeling
The relationship between exhaustion and work engagement has received considerable attention during the past decades. Although the theoretical proposition exists that work engagement may increase exhaustion over time, previous research has been mixed. Drawing on the transactional stress model and applying latent growth modeling, we aim to provide a more comprehensive picture of the work engagement–exhaustion relationship over time. In two longitud…
Interactive effects of social network centrality and social identification on stress
The present study aimed to integrate the social identity approach to health and well-being with social network analysis. Previous research on the effects of social network centrality on stress has yielded mixed results. Building on the social identity approach, we argued that these mixed results can be explained, in part, by taking into account the degree to which individuals identify with the social network. We hence hypothesized that the effect…
The effects of option generation on post-decisional regret in everyday life decision-making
The how and the when of the social cure
In this article, we aim at theoretical specification and integration of mechanisms proposed within the Social Identity Approach to Health and Well‐being. We differentiate group‐level and individual‐level effects of shared social identity by distinguishing three different aspects: individual identification , group identification , and individually perceived group identification . We discuss specific group‐level mechanisms (i.e., mutual social supp…
The Association of the 24 Hour Distribution of Time Spent in Physical Activity, Work, and Sleep with Emotional Exhaustion
Previous research identified time spent in physical activity, sleeping, and working as predictors of emotional exhaustion. However, this research did not take into account the interdependence of these time-use components. Since daily time is limited to 24 h, time spent in one specific activity (e.g., sleep) cannot be used for any other activity (e.g., physical activity). We conducted a one-week daily sampling study to assess the compositional eff…

Experimental evidence for the effects of task repetitiveness on mental strain and objective work performance
People frequently have to work in high repetitive jobs. Previous research has focused exclusively on the effects of task repetitiveness on well‐being, while neglecting effects on work performance. In the present study, we aimed to fill this void by conducting two workplace simulations with experimental manipulations of task repetitiveness. Participants worked for about 5 hours at either a computer workstation, compiling computer hardware packages…

In 1999, van der Doef and Maes published a systematic review focusing on the Job-Demand–Control (JDC) model (Karasek, 1979) and the Job Demand–Control (-Support) (JDCS) model (Johnson & Hall, 1988) in relation to psychological well-being. Their review covered the period from 1979 to 1997. The present paper updates and extends this review. Covering research from 83 studies published between 1998 and 2007, our review revealed three major results: F…
