  • Effects of Psychological Distance on Mental Abstraction: A Registered Report of Four Tests of Construal-Level Theory

    Open Access•Sofia Calderon, Erik Mac Giolla et al.•ARTICLE•Advances in Methods and Practices…•2026

    Construal-level theory (CLT) proposes that psychological distance influences the level of abstraction at which something is mentally construed: Things perceived as less probable (likelihood) or further away from the here (spatial distance), now (temporal distance), or self (social distance) are thought about more abstractly. In this international multilab study, we tested four basic hypotheses derived from core assumptions of CLT and explore pote…

    Open Access•M Verkuyten, Kumar Yogeeswaran et al.•ARTICLE•Political Psychology•2025•References: 63

    How do attitudes toward free speech and hate speech restrictions change across the adult lifespan? The current research utilizes data from five annual waves of longitudinal data from 2019 to 2024 ( N > 50,000) to examine the extent to which cohort, period, and age effects contribute to changes in attitudes toward free speech and hate speech among ethnic majority and minority group members during a period of changing societal norms about freedom o…

  • Information Regarding Shared Genes Between Humans Improves Attitudes Towards World Members

    Open Access•Kangning Du, John A Hunter et al.•ARTICLE•European Journal of Social…•2025•References: 46

    Laypeople reason that different races share 68% of their genes. In fact, the Human Genome Project indicates that humans, regardless of race, share 99.9% of our genetic material and that only 1/200th of 1% has been used to group people into the five classically conceived races. We reasoned that information about shared genetics might compel participants to extend their ingroup to include those formerly in the outgroup. In three studies, we showed …

  • Macro‐Level Climate and Minority Voice: How Indigenous Multiculturalism Relates to Collective Action

    Open Access•Jenny Gale, Kumar Yogeeswaran et al.•ARTICLE•European Journal of Social…•2025•References: 64

    Inequalities and discrimination against Indigenous minorities are pervasive in post‐colonial societies. Collective action is critical for Indigenous minorities to redress these injustices. Integrating research on collective action, macro‐level norms and multiculturalism, we argue that macro‐level climates characterized by non‐Indigenous endorsement of Indigenous multiculturalism policies are likely associated with Indigenous minorities’ collectiv…

  • What Drives Tolerance? Investigating Integration Models and Minority Engagement

    Open Access•Maïlys Samba, Kumar Yogeeswaran et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Community & Applied…•2025•References: 8

    The present research examines the role of different integration models on tolerance based on coexistence versus respect and the willingness of the majority group to engage in intergroup contact with French individuals of Maghrebi origin. We conducted two studies amongst French majority group members, one correlational (Study 1; N = 320) and one experimental (Study 2; N = 445). Results from Study 1 indicated that multiculturalism and intercultural…

  • Perceiving multiple truths: Does dialectical thinking harmonize colourblind and multicultural ideals

    Open Access•Jenny Gale, Kumar Yogeeswaran•ARTICLE•British Journal of Psychology•2024•Cited by: 1•References: 60

    Multicultural and colourblind approaches to managing diversity are often conceptualized to be antagonistic. However, in principle, both have underlying motives for social justice, making it important to understand how they may be psychologically reconciled. In the present research, we examined dialectical thinking as an individual characteristic or condition under which people may endorse them in a conciliatory way. Across five studies (three pre…

  • Being tolerated as a minority group member: An Experimental Study With Virtual Teams

    Open Access•Laura Adelman, M Verkuyten et al.•ARTICLE•The Journal of Social Psychology•2024•References: 2

    Research on the experience of being tolerated has focused on single events, ignoring the important question of whether the experience of being tolerated depends on previous experiences. We examined whether the experience of being tolerated has a negative impact on minority team members depending on whether they had previously been rejected or fully accepted. In a pre-registered study with 440 participants, we used a recently developed experimenta…

  • Intolerance of Transgressive Protest Actions: The Differential Roles of Deontological and Utilitarian Morality

    Open Access•M Verkuyten, Laura Adelman et al.•ARTICLE•Personality and Social Psychology…•2023

    The current research examines intolerance of protest actions by focusing on two major questions: (a) How intolerant are people of transgressive protest actions of their least-liked versus most-liked groups? and (b) how do individual differences in deontological and utilitarian moral predisposition relate to intolerance of transgressive protest actions by these two groups? In two survey-embedded experiments using nationally representative samples …

  • The social psychology of intergroup tolerance and intolerance

    Open Access•M Verkuyten, Kumar Yogeeswaran et al.•ARTICLE•European Review of Social…•2023

    Living with cultural, religious, and ideological diversity inevitably creates situations where people are confronted with beliefs, values, or practices that they disapprove of. In such situations, people may consider reasons to nevertheless tolerate what they disapprove of (i.e., forbearance tolerance), or reject these (i.e., intolerance). In the current review, we consider empirical research on the processes of intergroup tolerance and consider …

  • The Impact of Relationship Context on Dissociation-Induced Shame Using Vignette Scenarios

    Open Access•Martin J Dorahy, Kate McKeogh et al.•ARTICLE•Psychological Reports•2023

    Research supports an association between dissociation and elevations in feelings of shame. Yet, some work suggests this connection may be influenced by interpersonal relationship context, with shame heightened when dissociation is experienced with a close friend compared to when alone or with an acquaintance. The current studies sought to further clarify the relational context in which dissociation appears to maximize shame activation. Participan…

  • Testing the asymmetry hypothesis of tolerance: Thinking about socially disruptive protest actions

    Open Access•M Verkuyten, Kumar Yogeeswaran et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Social and Political…•2023•References: 18

    Under the asymmetry hypothesis, political tolerance and intolerance differ in their underlying psychology, making it easier to persuade the tolerant to become less tolerant than to convince the intolerant to become more tolerant. Using a representative sample of the Dutch population (N = 546), we examined this hypothesis for people’s tolerance or intolerance of socially disruptive protest actions of their least-liked group. Focusing on the releva…

  • Does county-level implicit national exclusion predict political participation among Asian Americans

    Kumar Yogeeswaran, Jenny Gale et al.•ARTICLE•Cultural Diversity & Ethnic…•2023•Cited by: 1

    Asian Americans reported greater political participation in counties with higher aggregate-levels of implicit and explicit American = White associations. Possible mechanisms accounting for the unexpected and counterintuitive relation between the national exclusion of Asian Americans and political participation among Asian Americans are discussed.

  • Majority group attitudes toward Indigenous and immigrant peoples: The role of group identifications and territorial ownership perceptions

    Nadine E N Kuipers, Borja Martinovic et al.•ARTICLE•Peace and Conflict Journal of…•2023

    Group-based land ownership claims remain a topic of debate in settler societies. While scholars have shown that group identification and territorial ownership perceptions influence intergroup relations between settlers and Indigenous peoples, it remains unclear how various forms of identity matter for ingroup and outgroup ownership perceptions. Furthermore, little is known on how ownership perceptions might explain attitudes toward both Indigenou…

  • Political tolerance and the golden rule: Reciprocity increases acceptance of normative protest actions of disliked groups

    Open Access•M Verkuyten, Kumar Yogeeswaran et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Community & Applied…•2023•References: 19

    The golden rule is a widespread moral guide for preventing conflict across cultures and religions, and reciprocity is foundational to political tolerance. This raises the question of whether the golden rule has an impact on one's willingness to tolerate political protest actions of disliked ideological groups. In the current research, we examined whether making salient golden rule reciprocity impacts on political tolerance of one's least‐liked gr…

  • Hate Begets Warmth? The Impact of an Anti-Muslim Terrorist Attack on Public Attitudes toward Muslims

    Open Access•Sadi Shanaah, Kumar Yogeeswaran et al.•ARTICLE•Terrorism and Political Violence•2023•Cited by: 2

    This article examines the impact of the 15th March 2019 far-right terrorist attack against Muslims in Christchurch, New Zealand on public opinion toward Muslims. It also examines whether the impact of the attack varies for individuals across the political spectrum. We make use of data from the 2019 New Zealand Attitudes and Values Study (N = 47,951) to compare the attitudes of New Zealanders before and after the attack. Using a range of statistic…

  • National identity predicts public health support during a global pandemic

    Open Access•Jay Joseph Van Bavel, Aleksandra Cichocka et al.•ARTICLE•Nature Communications•2022

    Changing collective behaviour and supporting non-pharmaceutical interventions is an important component in mitigating virus transmission during a pandemic. In a large international collaboration (Study 1, N = 49,968 across 67 countries), we investigated self-reported factors associated with public health behaviours (e.g., spatial distancing and stricter hygiene) and endorsed public policy interventions (e.g., closing bars and restaurants) during …

  • Predicting attitudinal and behavioral responses to Covid-19 pandemic using machine learning

    Open Access•Tamara Pavlovic, Tomislav Pavlović et al.•ARTICLE•PNAS Nexus•2022

    At the beginning of 2020, COVID-19 became a global problem. Despite all the efforts to emphasize the relevance of preventive measures, not everyone adhered to them. Thus, learning more about the characteristics determining attitudinal and behavioral responses to the pandemic is crucial to improving future interventions. In this study, we applied machine learning on the multi-national data collected by the International Collaboration on the Social…

  • The Impact of Emotional versus Instrumental Reasons for Dual Citizenship on the Perceived Loyalty and Political Tolerance of Immigrant-Origin Minorities

    Open Access•M Verkuyten, Jenny Gale et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Experimental Political…•2022•Cited by: 1•References: 17

    An increasing number of states permit dual citizenship, but there are public concerns about divided loyalties of dual citizens which might lead to intolerance of their political rights. We propose and test whether these concerns depend on the emotional versus instrumental reasons immigrants express for acquiring their second, host society citizenship. Using a survey experiment on a nationally representative sample of native-born Dutch, we find th…

    Three experiments integrated several theories in psychology and sociology to identify the conditions under which multiculturalism has positive versus negative effects on majority group members' attitudes and behavioral intentions toward ethnic minorities. On the basis of social cognitive construal theories, we predicted and found that construing multiculturalism in abstract terms by highlighting its broad goals reduced White Americans' prejudice …

    Ideologies can legitimate inequality and undermine collective action. Yet research overlooks the effects culture-specific ideologies—ideologies that develop within a specific sociohistorical context —have on collective action support. We address this oversight by arguing that two culture-specific ideologies that deny the contemporary relevance of past injustices (historical negation) and reject Indigenous culture from the nation’s identity (symbo…

  • Intergroup Toleration and Its Implications for Culturally Diverse Societies

    Open Access•M Verkuyten, Kumar Yogeeswaran et al.•ARTICLE•Social Issues and Policy Review•2018•Cited by: 14•References: 38

    In recent decades, tolerance has been proposed as a necessary response to the global rise in cultural and religious diversity. Tolerance is widely embraced in community, national, and international policies, in relation to many types of differences between people and groups. However, in both public and academic discourse, the notion of tolerance appears to have various meanings, which limits our ability to create, evaluate, and implement effectiv…

  • Hidden consequences of political efficacy: Testing an efficacy–apathy model of political mobilization

    Political efficacy-the belief that one can influence politics-is a key predictor of people's involvement in social movements. Political institutions that are open to change should, however, be seen as just. Thus, political efficacy may ironically undermine minority group members' support for collective action by simultaneously increasing their belief in the fairness of the system. The current study aims to examine this possibility in a national s…

  • Interculturalism: A new diversity ideology with interrelated components of dialogue, unity, and identity flexibility

    Open Access•M Verkuyten, Kumar Yogeeswaran et al.•ARTICLE•European Journal of Social…•2020•Cited by: 13•References: 48

    Increased cultural diversity has led to considerable debate on how to best promote intergroup harmony within pluralistic nations. In the current research, we consider the nature of interculturalism, a new diversity ideology extensively discussed by political philosophers and policy‐makers in Europe and beyond. Interculturalism consists of three interrelated components of dialogue, unity, and identity flexibility. Using data ( N = 2,364) from thre…

  • I Have a Dream” of a Colorblind Nation? Examining the Relationship between Racial Colorblindness, System Justification, and Support for Policies that Redress Inequalities

    Open Access•Kumar Yogeeswaran, M Verkuyten et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Social Issues•2018•Cited by: 11•References: 32

    One of Dr. Martin Luther King's most memorable quotes came from his famous “ I have a dream ” speech, which arguably called for a racially colorblind society. Today, colorblindness represents a complex ideology used in education, businesses, and governments, with both positive and negative implications for intergroup relations. On the one hand, colorblindness is used to promote fairness and equality between groups by asking people to ignore group…

    While a large body of social psychological research has shed light on the nature of prejudice and how to reduce it, we argue that such work does not address situations of cultural or religious outgroup beliefs and practices that are considered incompatible with one's own. The present theoretical article contrasts a prejudice‐reduction approach with a toleration‐based approach to consider the differences each have with regard to the attitude objec…

    Three experiments integrate research from political science and social psychology to examine the consequences of two competing visions of American national identity.

    Various diversity ideologies including assimilation, colorblindness, and multiculturalism have been promoted with mixed results about their costs and benefits. In the current research, we consider the impact of a new diversity ideology, interculturalism, discussed and debated by political philosophers and policy-makers as the “way forward.” Across three experiments ( N = 1230) in two ethnically diverse nations, we examined the causal impact of pr…

    In Western societies, generalized prejudice and anti-Muslim sentiments can be major drivers of the rejection of Muslim religious practices. However, people can also reject such practices for other reasons, such as concerns about civil liberties or the secular nature of the state. With national samples of German and Dutch majority members ( N = 3,703), we used a multiple-acts-multiple-actors design to simultaneously examine attitudes toward four r…

    Tolerance, the acceptance of disapproved conduct of others, is considered an indispensable feature of diverse societies. Yet tolerance can be expressed in one of two distinct ways, which is not reflected in the literature. In one way, tolerance is passive and involves suppressing the inclination to interfere with the disapproved conduct of others. In the other way, tolerance is active and involves endorsing the ability of others to engage in a di…

However, being the target of tolerance might harm well-being, which we examined in three studies (a survey and two experiments) among a total of 1,054 members of various racial/ethnic minority groups in the United States. In Study 1, we found that perceiving oneself to be tolerated on the basis of one's ethnic…

The present research utilizes a national sample of European New Zealanders to examine whether the relationship between colorblind endorsement and outgroup attitudes is moderated by perceivers' indivi…

    Open Access•M Verkuyten, Kumar Yogeeswaran et al.•ARTICLE•Social Issues and Policy Review•2018•Cited by: 14•References: 38

    In recent decades, tolerance has been proposed as a necessary response to the global rise in cultural and religious diversity. Tolerance is widely embraced in community, national, and international policies, in relation to many types of differences between people and groups. However, in both public and academic discourse, the notion of tolerance appears to have various meanings, which limits our ability to create, evaluate, and implement effectiv…

    One of Dr. Martin Luther King's most memorable quotes came from his famous “ I have a dream ” speech, which arguably called for a racially colorblind society. Today, colorblindness represents a complex ideology used in education, businesses, and governments, with both positive and negative implications for intergroup relations. On the one hand, colorblindness is used to promote fairness and equality between groups by asking people to ignore group…

Temporal fluctuations in ethnic diversity at the metropolitan level were assessed using data from four decennial U.S. censuses (1980–2010) and distinguishing three dimensions of context ethnic diversity (minority representation, variety, and integration). Project Implicit data (2011–2017) ind…

    Social media has changed the way we live. It is now so integral to daily life that it is one of the top activities that people spend their time on each day. Given its ubiquity, it is important to understand what kinds of personality traits draw people toward social media and whether social media changes personality. The present study utilizes a longitudinal design with a large nationally representative sample ( N = 11,629) to examine the bidirect…

  • The Negative Implications of Being Tolerated: Tolerance From the Target’s Perspective

    Open Access•M Verkuyten, Kumar Yogeeswaran et al.•ARTICLE•Perspectives on Psychological…•2020

    Intergroup toleration is a requirement for living with diversity and actively promoted by local, national, and international bodies. However, although psychological researchers have extensively considered the implications of being discriminated, little is known about the psychological consequences of being tolerated. In this article, we argue that beyond the freedoms implied by tolerance, being “merely” tolerated also implies social identity thre…

    Various diversity ideologies including assimilation, colorblindness, and multiculturalism have been promoted with mixed results about their costs and benefits. In the current research, we consider the impact of a new diversity ideology, interculturalism, discussed and debated by political philosophers and policy-makers as the “way forward.” Across three experiments ( N = 1230) in two ethnically diverse nations, we examined the causal impact of pr…
