Changes in perceived age discrimination over time
Age discrimination at work represents a major challenge with detrimental impacts on employees and organizations. Although age discrimination theories suggest that workers experience increasing levels of age discrimination over time, prior evidence suggests that there may be substantial heterogeneity in the way perceived age discrimination changes over time. Conceptualizing age discrimination at work as a stressor, and integrating the model of exp…
The impact of diversity statements on age diversity
Many organizations are committed to age diversity and inclusion, aiming for a fair treatment and balanced representation of younger and older employees in all units of the organization. However, the continuing workplace discrimination against mature workers demonstrates that older employees are often excluded and remain underrepresented. Hence, organizations still struggle to reach their diversity goals and finding ways to effectively foster empl…
Selective incivility
Immigrants play an increasingly important role in local labor markets. Not only do they grow steadily in number but also in cultural, educational, and skill diversity, underlining the necessity to distinguish between immigrant groups when studying discrimination against immigrants. We examined immigrant employees' subtle discrimination experiences in a representative sample in Switzerland, controlling for dispositional influences. Results showed …
Perceived Competition Explains Regional Differences in the Stereotype Content of Immigrant Groups
This research investigates differences in the stereotype content of immigrant groups between linguistic regions. We expected that immigrant groups who speak the local language of a specific linguistic region would be perceived as more competitive within this region than in another linguistic region. Further, we expected these differences would underlie regional differences in stereotype content, albeit only for the warmth dimension. Predictions w…
Trust in medical organizations predicts pandemic (H1N1) 2009 vaccination behavior and perceived efficacy of protection measures in the Swiss public
Lay perceptions of collectives at the outbreak of the H1N1 epidemic
Lay perceptions of collectives (e.g., groups, organizations, countries) implicated in the 2009 H1N1 outbreak were studied. Collectives serve symbolic functions to help laypersons make sense of the uncertainty involved in a disease outbreak. We argue that lay representations are dramatized, featuring characters like heroes, villains and victims. In interviews conducted soon after the outbreak, 47 Swiss respondents discussed the risk posed by H1N1,…
Ethical Blindness
Keeping the vermin out
Integrating evolutionary and social representations theories, the current study examines the relationship between perceived disease threat and exclusionary immigration attitudes in the context of a potential avian influenza pandemic. This large‐scale disease provides a realistic context for investigating the link between disease threat and immigration attitudes. The main aim of this cross‐sectional study ( N = 412) was to explore mechanisms throu…
The influence of personality and life events on subjective well-being from a life span perspective
Life Markers in Biographical Narratives of People from Three Cohorts
Human development is often understood as an interplay between biological, sociohistorical, and social factors, as well as individual developmental actions. However, historical influences on development have rarely been investigated. The present study discusses societal change in the course of this century and investigates its impact on the life course by analyzing biographical narratives. This impact is illustrated by results from a study where p…
