The Middle Dot Challenge: Influence of Gender-Fair Language on Representations and Stereotypical Associations of Science and Care Jobs
Can gender-fair language (GFL) shift gendered representations and stereotypical associations of science (masculine) and care (feminine) jobs? In the first preregistered study ( N participants = 338 and N trials = 9,464), the influence of GFL—using the middle dot—on gender representations of science and care jobs was assessed with self-reports. GFL shifted these representations towards gender parity compared to masculine and feminine generics. We …

The Effects of Social Distance and Gender on Moral Decisions and Judgments: A Reanalysis, Replication, and Extension of
In morality, social distance should influence judgments and decisions. Singer et al.’s (2019) Everyday Moral Conflict Situations scale was created to assess altruistic versus egoistic choices in everyday moral contexts depending on social distance manipulated at the item level. Via a reanalysis of their data, we found an unreported interaction effect between social distance and gender on behavioral choices. We conducted a conceptual replication (…
Examining the effects of socioeconomic status indicators on the association between growth mindset and sense of belonging to school
Paradigm constraints on moral decision‐making dynamics
Investigating decision making with two‐alternative forced choice (2AFC) tasks may artificially constrain decisions, especially in the moral domain where we may want to express nuance. We aimed at examining whether paradigm constraints—that is, binary (as in 2AFC tasks) versus continuous response mode—constrained early decision‐making dynamics, as traceable in mouse movements. In the moral domain, long sentences are often used, and we therefore de…

The moderating role of socioeconomic status on the relationship between teacher social support and sense of belonging to school
BackgroundTeacher social support (TSS) has been identified as one of the most important factors of success and well-being for students. Yet, there is a gap in the literature regarding the impact of students' socioeconomic status (SES) on their perceptions of TSS, and whether SES may impact the strength of the relationship between teacher social support and students' sense of belonging to school (SBS).AimsIn this preregistered study, we aimed at f…
Study protocol for an adapted personal project analysis to measure vertical inter-goal relations on physical activity and diet
This study will provide insights into how the emerging adult population relate healthy behaviors, specifically physical activity and a healthy diet, to their personal values. The degree to which individuals are able to pursue a health goal is also influenced by other life goals, and therefore the conflicting and facilitating relations between health goals and other life goals will also be examined. This study contributes to multiple health behavi…
A multilevel account of social value‐related reasons behind mastery goals
BACKGROUND: A growing literature focuses on reasons behind achievement goal endorsement, and mastery-approach goals (MG) specifically, and how these reasons influence academic performance. Past research provides evidence that student-level social value-related reasons behind MG moderate the MG-performance link in adolescents and young adults. However, we ignore whether this moderation is best conceived of as a student-level effect (i.e., students…
Toward the use of approach/avoidance tendencies as attitude measures: Individual‐ and group‐level variability of the ingroup bias
Approach/avoidance paradigms could constitute an interesting alternative in measuring intergroup attitudes, notably if they overcome one criticism often addressed toward classic indirect tasks: Measuring attitudes beyond the influence of cultural knowledge. Using intergroup stimuli and a population likely to be exposed to a similar cultural knowledge, we observed two informative results regarding this issue: Approach/avoidance effects measured by…
Belief in school meritocracy as an ideological barrier to the promotion of equality
In the educational system, social inequalities are reproduced and legitimated. As a consequence, the implementation of interventions that reduce the SES achievement gap in education may face important ideological barriers. The purpose of the present article is to test the belief in school meritocracy as one of these barriers. In three studies, participants' willingness to see an equalizing pedagogical intervention implemented in one's own univers…
The Experience of Low‐SES Students in Higher Education: Psychological Barriers to Success and Interventions to Reduce Social‐Class Inequality
The economic decline of the Great Recession has increased the need for a university degree, which can enhance individuals’ prospects of obtaining employment in a competitive, globalized market. Research in the social sciences has consistently demonstrated that students with low socioeconomic status (SES) have fewer opportunities to succeed in university contexts compared to students with high SES. The present article reviews the psychological bar…

Tracking and simulating dynamics of implicit stereotypes: A situated social cognition perspective
Adopting a situated social cognition perspective, we relied on different methodologies-1 computational and 3 empirical studies-to investigate social group-related specificities pertaining to implicit gender-domain stereotypes, as measured by a mouse-tracking adapted Implicit Association Test (IAT) and IAT(-like) tasks. We tested whether the emergence of implicit stereotypes was partially determined by associations congruent with the self, by visu…
Improving Low Achievers’ Academic Performance at University by Changing the Social Value of Mastery Goals
Recent research has shown that, in a university context, mastery goals are highly valued and that students may endorse these goals either because they believe in their utility (i.e., social utility), in which case mastery goals are positively linked to achievement, or to create a positive image of themselves (i.e., social desirability), in which case mastery goals do not predict academic achievement. The present two experiments induced high versu…
Assessing does not mean threatening: The purpose of assessment as a key determinant of girls' and boys' performance in a science class
BackgroundIs it possible to reach performance equality between boys and girls in a science class? Given the stereotypes targeting their groups in scientific domains, diagnostic contexts generally lower girls' performance and non-diagnostic contexts may harm boys' performance.AimThe present study tested the effectiveness of a mastery-oriented assessment, allowing both boys and girls to perform at an optimal level in a science class.SampleParticipa…
