In a society where sexual objectification is pervasive, women may experience self-objectification as an external motivator for their appearance management, thus experiencing reduced bodily self-determination. We here tackle two specific strategies of appearance management in response to low self-determination, namely body concealment and exposure. In two studies, we investigate the association between bodily self-determination, body concealment, …
The Words of (Non-)Humanity
Derogatory labels increase dehumanization in bystanders; research however has yet to investigate whether the same applies to victims themselves. In three preregistered studies ( N total = 1146), we predicted that women targeted with sexist slurs would dehumanize themselves. Participants imagined or recalled a situation in which a man addressed them with a generic insult, a sexist slur, or no insult. Then, we assessed self-dehumanization (primary …
Folk devils? Perceived lack of traditional values explains youth-related stereotypes of sexual minorities and Black men
Back to basics
Successful groups are seen as more agentic and therefore more human— Consequences for group perception
The Spatial Ingroup Bias
In four studies, we test the hypothesis that people, asked to envisage interactions between an ingroup and an outgroup, tend to spatially represent the ingroup where writing starts (e.g., left in Italian) and as acting along script direction. Using soccer as a highly competitive intergroup setting, in Study 1 ( N = 100) Italian soccer fans were found to envisage their team on the left side of a horizontal soccer field, hence playing rightward. St…
A Cross-Cultural Replication on Humanness Attribution
Previous research showed that targets achieving (vs. not) a goal were ascribed more humanness. We conceptually replicate previous studies by involving a population of English and Arabic speakers to test cross-cultural replicability of the effect and the contribution of sensorimotor systems in agency representation. Participants ( N tot = 637) saw animations, where goal achievement and trajectory were manipulated. They evaluated agency, communion,…
The “gay agenda
Despite the fact that gay men and lesbian women face significant economic disparities compared to their heterosexual counterparts, people appear to believe that the opposite is true, a phenomenon which has been dubbed the “myth of gay affluence.” In the current research ( N tot = 2,162), we address the consequences of this belief. Specifically, we hypothesize and find that believing that gay men and lesbian women are financially well off—either c…

Predictors of Attitudes Toward Gay Men and Lesbian Women in 23 Countries
Dominant accounts of sexual prejudice posit that negative attitudes toward nonheterosexual individuals are stronger for male (vs. female) targets, higher among men (vs. women), and driven, in part, by the perception that gay men and lesbian women violate traditional gender norms. We test these predictions in 23 countries, representing both Western and non-Western societies. Results show that (1) gay men are disliked more than lesbian women across…
Denial of gender discrimination is associated with better subjective well‐being among women
Despite the fact that women face socially and politically sanctioned disadvantages every day, a large percentage of women and men report that gender discrimination is no longer a problem. Across three studies, which together include over 20,000 participants from 23 countries, we test the hypothesis that denial (vs. We further show that this happens above and beyond personal experiences with sexism (Study 1) and that the association is stronger in…
