Tolerance and perceived threat matter! Understanding employment discrimination against immigrants in the Spanish labour market / ¡La tolerancia y la amenaza percibida importan! Entender la discriminac…
The threat-based skill paradox suggests that the employability of immigrants decreases compared to nationals as they possess more advanced skills because they are considered a threat to national job applicants. Extending previous research, the present study explores whether the perceived threat to the Spanish labour market generated by an applicant for high- and low-status jobs and the evaluations received (on stereotypes, emotions and facilitati…
The role of intergroup emotions at understanding the acculturation preferences toward valued and devalued immigrants in Mexico and Spain
Lights and shadows of counter-attitudinal strategies to reduce prejudice: Impact of the identity threat and prior ethnic orientations
Two preregistered experiments compared the effect of a counter-attitudinal strategy with a control and a reflective condition (Experiment 1, n = 689) or an outgroup-variability condition (Experiment 2, n = 634) on attitudes toward Moroccan immigrants in Spain, exploring the role of identity threat in the process among participants with high (vs. low) racism and ethnocultural empathy. Results showed that the exposure to counter-attitudinal content…
The central role of social exclusion when representing ethnic minorities and its association with intergroup attitudes
A mixed-methods approach was used to analyze the social representations of four ethnic minorities in southern Spain. Following a between-subjects design, Spanish participants (n = 532) were assigned to evaluate either Romanian Roma, Spanish Roma, Moroccan, or Romanian non-Roma people, with a free-association task and scales of stereotypes, emotions, and behavioral tendencies. Results showed that Romanian Roma was the most devalued target, eliciti…
Can identity fusion foster social harmony? Strongly fused individuals embrace familiar outgroup members unless threatened
Past research has established that people whose identities are deeply aligned (“fused’) with a group endorse hostility toward distant outgroups (e.g., foreigners). We propose that identity fusion can have the opposite effect under certain conditions. Specifically, when the outgroup is familiar and non-threatening, strongly fused persons may be positively disposed toward its members. Four studies tested this hypothesis. In the baseline control con…
Awareness of the psychological bias of naïve realism as a subtle strategy for improving stereotypes towards Moroccan women in Spain
The present research explored whether the exposure to the psychological bias of naïve realism (i.e., the conviction that one’s own views are objective, and the other’s views are biased) could promote stereotype change along the dimensions of morality, sociability, and competence. Due to their double discrimination, we considered Moroccan women living in Spain as the target group. Participants (307 Spaniards; Mage = 35.92, SD = 13.37; 61.6% women)…
Ambivalent Effects of Positive Contact Between Women and Men on Collective Actions for Women’s Rights
Positive intergroup contact, under some conditions, can undermine the interest of members of both socially disadvantaged and advantaged groups to act for equality. However, little is known about whether similar effects appear in a unique form of intergroup relations, gender relations. In two correlational studies and two experiments, we investigated the relationships among quality of contact, perceived discrimination, fusion with the feminist mov…
Active and Passive Facilitation Tendencies at Work Towards Sexy and Professional Women: The Role of Stereotypes and Emotions
Stereotypes have important social consequences, such as promoting female discrimination in the workplace, which depends on how women are categorized. Extending prior work, here we analyze how two important female subgroups, women who are categorized as professional or sexy women, are evaluated on key dimensions of stereotype content (morality, sociability, and competence), positive and negative emotions, and facilitation behavioral tendencies (ac…
Tolerance towards difference: Adaptation and psychometric properties of the Spanish version of a new measure of tolerance and sex-moderated relations with prejudice
The present research aims at adapting to the Spanish context and language a measure of tolerance toward diversity recently developed, at analyzing its psychometric properties, and at examining the moderating effect of participants’ sex on the relations between tolerance and prejudice. We conducted two studies considering two Spanish samples taken from the general population. In Study 1 (N = 586; 70.5 % females; Mage = 37.77, SD = 12.34) we confir…
Threat Enhances Aggressive Inclinations Among Devoted Actors Via Increase in Their Relative Physical Formidability
Devoted actors—those who share sacred values with a group with which they are fused—are particularly willing to self-sacrifice to defend their group or values when they are threatened. Here, we explore whether they are also prone to aggressive inclinations toward those who endanger their group or convictions. To that end, we examined the effect of threat and the two components of the devoted actor framework—identity fusion and sacred values—on ag…
Why people abandon groups: Degrading relational vs collective ties uniquely impacts identity fusion and identification
Gulliver’s Politics: Conservatives Envision Potential Enemies as Readily Vanquished and Physically Small
Political conservatives have been widely documented to regard out-group members as hostile, perceive individuals of ambiguous intent as malevolent, and favor aggressive solutions to intergroup conflict. A growing literature indicates that potential violent adversaries are represented using the dimensions of envisioned physical size/strength to summarize opponents’ fighting capacities relative to the self or in-group. Integrating these programs, w…
The devoted actor's will to fight and the spiritual dimension of human conflict
The effects of stereotype content on acculturation preferences and prosocial tendencies: The prominent role of morality
Legitimacy Moderates the Relation Between Perceived and Ideal Economic Inequalities
The majority's perceptions about adaptation to the host society of different immigrant groups: The distinct role of warmth and threat
Contemplating the ultimate sacrifice: Identity fusion channels pro-group affect, cognition, and moral decision making
Although most people acknowledge the moral virtue in sacrificing oneself to save others, few actually endorse self-sacrifice. Seven experiments explored the cognitive and emotional mechanisms that underlie such endorsements. Participants responded to 1 of 2 moral dilemmas in which they could save 5 members of their country only by sacrificing themselves. Over 90% of participants acknowledged that the moral course of action was to sacrifice onesel…
Explaining majority members’ acculturation preferences for minority members: A mediation model
Mantenimiento y adaptación cultural de diferentes grupos inmigrantes: Variables Predictoras
This study aimed to analyze the cultural maintenance and adaptation dimensions expressed by Moroccan, Romanian, and Ecuadorian immigrants in Spain, as well as psychosocial and social-demographic variables that predicted such tendencies. A correlational study was carried out with immigrants of Moroccan (N = 71), Romanian (N = 74), and Ecuadorian origin (N = 70) who responded to a questionnaire reporting their tendency to maintain the original cult…
