  • Power to Detect What? Considerations for Planning and Evaluating Sample Size

    Open AccessRoger Giner-Sorolla, Roger Giner‐sorolla et al.ARTICLEPersonality and Social Psychology…2024

    ACADEMIC ABSTRACT: In the wake of the replication crisis, social and personality psychologists have increased attention to power analysis and the adequacy of sample sizes. In this article, we analyze current controversies in this area, including choosing effect sizes, why and whether power analyses should be conducted on already-collected data, how to mitigate the negative effects of sample size criteria on specific kinds of research, and which p…

  • Risking the social bond: Motivations to defend or to repair when dealing with displeasing information

    Open AccessStine Torp Løkkeberg, Nicolay Gausel et al.ARTICLECurrent Psychology2023

    Our choice to withhold or disclose displeasing information to another can motivate concern about damage to our social bonds. In two experiments, using two different samples of university students in Norway, ( N = 174 and N = 217), we found that withholding unpleasant information led to greater concern for self- image and social-image than did disclosure. We also found that withholding elicited more shame, inferiority and rejection than disclosure…

  • Social-functional characteristics of Chinese terms translated as “shame” or “guilt”: A cross-referencing approach

    Open AccessDaqing Liu, Roger Giner-Sorolla et al.ARTICLECognition & Emotion2023

    Previous research has found a rich lexicon of shame and guilt terms in Chinese, but how comparable these terms are to “shame” or “guilt” in English remains a question. We identified eight commonly used Chinese terms translated as “shame” and “guilt”. Study 1 assessed the Chinese terms’ intensities, social characteristics, and action tendencies among 40 Chinese speakers. Testing term production in the reverse direction, Study 2 asked another Chine…

  • Ironically enjoyed music: An investigation of the unique self-regulatory value of irony as part of the enjoyment of music

    Open AccessAnnemieke J M van den Tol, Roger Giner-Sorolla et al.ARTICLEPsychology of Music2022

    Ironic enjoyment occurs when people enjoy music despite or because of it being evaluated as bad. Although initial qualitative results suggest that this phenomenon fulfills a variety of self-regulatory functions that are also found in enjoyed music, to date no research has experimentally tested how important these functions are in ironically enjoyed music, in comparison to naturally enjoyed music. In two between-subjects experiments, participants …

  • Perceptions of Emotional Functionality: Similarities and Differences Among Dignity, Face, and Honor Cultures

    Open AccessAngela T Maitner, Jamie Decoster et al.ARTICLEJournal of Cross-Cultural…2022

    Emotions are linked to wide sets of action tendencies, and it can be difficult to predict which specific action tendency will be motivated or indulged in response to individual experiences of emotion. Building on a functional perspective of emotion, we investigate whether anger and shame connect to different behavioral intentions in dignity, face, and honor cultures. Using simple animations that showed perpetrators taking resources from victims, …

  • Intergroup apologies from both sides: Perceptions of goals and satisfaction in two European contexts

    Roger Giner‐sorolla, Nebojsa Petrovic et al.ARTICLEPeace and Conflict Journal of…2022Cited by: 1References: 6

    Direct comparisons of reactions on both sides of a collective political apology, within the same study, are rare in published research. We report two studies conducted contemporaneously with past apologies, that focused on satisfaction and group-relevant outcomes of the apology. Study 1 surveyed English (apologising group) and Irish Nationalist (recipient group) respondents (N = 99) about the British apology in 2010 for the Bloody Sunday massacre…

  • Members of Transgressor Groups Prefer Reparations to Come From Third Parties: An Extension of Interpersonal Findings on Moral Emotions

    Maciej Sekerdej, Roger Giner-Sorolla et al.ARTICLESocial Psychology2022Cited by: 1References: 34

    Interpersonal research has shown that guilt motivates perpetrators to compensate victims at the expense of a third party, indicating that the emotion's goal involves reparative outcomes rather than self-mortification. However, this motivation has yet to be tested in an intergroup context. Based on findings about ingroup wrongdoing, compensation was expected to draw primarily on shame rather than guilt. Three experiments (total N = 617) showed tha…

  • Assigning moral roles within the Second World War in Europe: National similarities, differences, and implications for group‐level moral representations

    Open AccessRoger Giner‐sorolla, Denis Hilton et al.ARTICLEAsian Journal Of Social Psychology2021

    The moral roles assigned to nations that took part in the Second World War cast a shadow over contemporary international politics. To understand contemporary moral beliefs about the war, we took 11 mostly student samples from 9 nations that took part in the European theatre of war (total N = 1,427). We asked respondents, in free and scaled listings, to identify the war’s heroes, villains, victims, and recipients of help. Nations and individuals s…

  • From crisis of evidence to a “crisis” of relevance? Incentive-based answers for social psychology’s perennial relevance worries

    Roger Giner-Sorolla, Roger Giner‐sorollaARTICLEEuropean Review of Social…2019

    Current controversies in social psychology have sparked the promotion of new rules for evidence in the field. This “crisis of evidence” echoes prior concerns from the 1970s about a so-called “crisis of social psychology”, with such issues as replication and statistical significance once more under examination. I argue that parallel concerns about the relevance of our research, raised but not completely resolved in the 1970s crisis, also deserve a…

  • A consensus-based transparency checklist

    Open AccessBalazs Aczel, Barnabas Szaszi et al.ARTICLENature Human Behaviour2019Cited by: 4References: 8

    We present a consensus-based checklist to improve and document the transparency of research reports in social and behavioural research.

  • Imagined contact with atypical outgroup members that are anti-normative within their group can reduce prejudice

    Open AccessOrkun Yetkili, Dominic Abrams et al.ARTICLEJournal of Experimental Social…2018Cited by: 4References: 42

    Can imagining contact with anti-normative outgroup members be an effective tool for improving intergroup relations? Extant theories predict greatest prejudice reduction following contact with typical outgroup members. In contrast, using subjective group dynamics theory, we predicted that imagining contact with anti-normative outgroup members canpromote positive intergroup attitudes because these atypical members potentially reduce intergroup thre…

  • Communicating Moral Motives: The Social Signaling Function of Disgust

    Open AccessTom R Kupfer, Roger Giner-Sorolla et al.ARTICLESocial Psychological and…2017

    Disgust motivates pathogen avoidance, but it is unclear why it is also reported toward moral violations. Previous explanations have focused on identifying the type of violation specific to disgust. Here, we propose that people express disgust toward any type of moral violation in order to communicate particular motives. Unlike anger, which can be seen as self-interested, disgust communicates a more principled, moral motivation. Two experiments sh…

  • It was only harmless banter!” The development and preliminary validation of the moral disengagement in sexual harassment scale

    Open AccessThomas E Page, Tom Page et al.ARTICLEAggressive Behavior2016Cited by: 3References: 117

    Sexual harassment represents aggressive behavior that is often enacted instrumentally, in response to a threatened sense of masculinity and male identity. To date, however, theoretical attention to the social cognitive processes that regulate workplace harassment is scant. This article presents the development and preliminary validation of the Moral Disengagement in Sexual Harassment Scale (MDiSH); a self-report measure of moral disengagement in …

  • CAD Revisited: Effects of the Word Moral on the Moral Relevance of Disgust (and Other Emotions)

    Open AccessPascale Sophie Russell, Jared Piazza et al.ARTICLESocial Psychological and…2013

    The CAD model posits a mapping of contempt, anger, and disgust onto the moral codes of community, autonomy, and divinity, respectively. A recent study by Hutcherson and Gross posited moral disgust as the dominant other-condemning emotion across all three moral codes. However, the methodology used may have incidentally increased the relevance of disgust. In the current experiment, one condition repeated Hutcherson and Gross’s procedure, while in a…

  • Saying sorry: Shifting obligation after conciliatory acts satisfies perpetrator group members

    Erica Zaiser, Roger Giner-Sorolla et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality and Social…2013Cited by: 9References: 11

    How are intergroup conciliatory acts (apologies and reparations) evaluated by members of the perpetrator group offering them? This research tests whether these outcomes can be predicted by obligation shifting: the perception that a conciliatory act has shifted the onus away from the perpetrators and onto the victim group. Four experiments in different contexts examined 3 possible outcomes for members of the perpetrator group: satisfaction with th…

  • The Replication Recipe: What makes for a convincing replication

    Open AccessMark J Brandt, Hans I Jzerman et al.ARTICLEJournal of Experimental Social…2013Cited by: 92References: 39

    Psychological scientists have recently started to reconsider the importance of close replications in building a cumulative knowledge base; however, there is no consensus about what constitutes a convincing close replication study. To facilitate convincing close replication attempts we have developed a Replication Recipe, outlining standard criteria for a convincing close replication. Our Replication Recipe can be used by researchers, teachers, an…

  • Bodily moral disgust: What it is, how it is different from anger, and why it is an unreasoned emotion

    Pascale Sophie Russell, Roger Giner-Sorolla et al.ARTICLEPsychological Bulletin2013Cited by: 19

    With the recent upswing in research interest on the moral implications of disgust, there has been uncertainty about what kind of situations elicit moral disgust and whether disgust is a rational or irrational player in moral decision making. We first outline the benefits of distinguishing between bodily violations (e.g., sexual taboos, such as pedophilia and incest) and nonbodily violations (e.g., deception or betrayal) when examining moral disgu…

  • The importance of honor concerns across eight countries

    Open AccessValeschka Martins Guerra, Roger Giner‐sorolla et al.ARTICLEGroup Processes & Intergroup…2012Cited by: 11References: 11

    Honor concerns are considered an important part of one’s self-image, and strongly associated to cultural values. However, there is a lack of research studies that explore these concerns in more than two cultural communities. Across eight countries (Brazil, Israel, Japan, Macedonia, New Zealand, Spain, United Kingdom, and United States), participants (total N = 1098) answered the Honor Scale and the Community, Autonomy, and Divinity Scale. Individ…

  • Moral Anger Is More Flexible Than Moral Disgust

    Open AccessPascale Sophie Russell, Roger Giner-Sorolla et al.ARTICLESocial Psychological and…2011

    The research examines whether anger rather than disgust is more likely to be responsible for changes in moral judgment, after individuals consider potential circumstances. Participants first read a scenario that described a moral violation (harm or fairness vs. purity) and then gave their initial moral judgment and emotions toward the act. They were then asked to list things that could change their opinion and were provided with an opportunity to…

  • Moral anger, but not moral disgust, responds to intentionality

    Pascale Sophie Russell, Roger Giner-Sorolla et al.ARTICLEEmotion2011

    We propose that, when people judge moral situations, anger responds to the contextual cues of harm and intentionality. On the other hand, disgust responds uniquely to whether or not a bodily norm violation has occurred; its apparent response to harm and intent is entirely explained by the coactivation of anger. We manipulated intent, harm, and bodily norm violation (eating human flesh) within a vignette describing a scientific experiment. Partici…
