A cross‐cultural investigation of the effects of individual privilege, group identification and societal perceptions on global consciousness
Amidst growing polarization and nationalism across societies, global consciousness (GC) provides an important construct for addressing the political challenges of our era. GC is a holistic and complex psychological orientation constituted by the distinct components of awareness, identity and morality. The current studies investigated whether measures of individual privilege (income, education, subjective status, frequent travel and multilingual c…
The role of cosmopolitan orientation in Covid-19-related attitudes
On the Concordance of Romantic and Sexual Feelings and Identity Among University Students in Taiwan
Intergroup benefits of metacognitive cultural self? Cultural self-awareness and multicultural involvement on attitudes towards migrants
The investigation of attitudes towards different groups is crucial for improving intergroup relations and increasing acceptance of diversity. The present research examined the potential of metacognitive understanding of cultural self in improving attitudes towards migrants, as individuals reflectively consider their cultural assumptions in evaluating migrants. We tested the effect of individuals’ awareness of culture’s influence on the self (i.e.…
Similar outgroups
Do we like or dislike members of outgroups who seem similar to our ingroup? The psychological literature has offered two opposing answers. Research on distinctiveness threat suggests that we are more likely to perceive members of similar outgroups as threatening: outgroup members sharing high similarity with the ingroup may blur group boundaries, endangering clear ingroup identity and positive self‐regard. The literature on similarity attraction,…
Helping Others in Virtual Reality Increases Prosocial Self-understanding Among Adolescents
Us versus Them
Taiwan, the first country in Asia to provide same-sex couples a legal right to marriage, has witnessed furious debate on both sides. To understand this debate, we combined content analysis and the Linguistic Inquiry and Word Count (LIWC) method to capture themes and states of mind reflected in the news articles. Arguments based in human rights and reflecting heterosexual preferences which were observed elsewhere also dominated the discourses in T…
History of Falls, Dementia, Lower Education Levels, Mobility Limitations, and Aging Are Risk Factors for Falls among the Community-Dwelling Elderly
A history of falling, low education levels, aging, mild dementia, and certain mobility limitations were strong risk factors for future falling accidents in elderly Taiwanese community dwellers
Cultural Factors Facilitating or Inhibiting the Support for Traditional Household Gender Roles
Movement toward gender equality has occurred worldwide for the past century; nevertheless, some people still strongly endorse traditional gender norms. We investigated the associations of societal characteristics (gross domestic product [GDP] per capita and the gender empowerment measure) and cultural characteristics, including Hofstede's, Schwartz's, and Welzel's scores (hierarchy vs. egalitarianism, person vs. social focus, mastery vs. harmony,…
Linking parental socialization about discrimination to intergroup attitudes
Using a unique, non-Western sample, this study demonstrated the role that parental socialization about past discrimination, in combination with belief in group-based dominance, plays in the construction of group identity and intergroup attitudes among members of historically disadvantaged ethnic groups.

When objective group membership and subjective ethnic identification don’t align
When objective group membership and subjective ethnic identification don’t align, which has a greater impact on how people feel towards the groups they affiliate with, and why? Deprived of many distinctiveness markers typically found in intergroup relations (e.g., physical features, obvious status differences), Taiwanese society provides a perfect natural context to explore the impact of objective group membership (Taiwanese nationality) versus s…
Social Dominance in Context and in Individuals
We tested the internal reliability and predictive validity of a new 4-item Short Social Dominance Orientation (SSDO) scale among adults in 20 countries, using 15 languages ( N = 2,130). Low scores indicate preferring group inclusion and equality to dominance. As expected, cross-nationally, the lower people were on SSDO, the more they endorsed more women in leadership positions, protecting minorities, and aid to the poor. Multilevel moderation mod…

Lesbians in Empirical Psychological Research
Lesbians have been consistently ignored in empirical psychological research. The current research extends Lee and Crawford's (2007 Lee, I.-C. and Crawford, M. 2007. Lesbians and bisexual women in the eyes of scientific psychology. Feminism & Psychology, 17: 109–127. [Crossref], [Web of Science ®] , [Google Scholar]) comprehensive review, which used both quantitative and qualitative approaches to analyze the amount and kind of research on lesbians…
Intergroup consensus/disagreement in support of group-based hierarchy
A meta-analysis examined the extent to which socio-structural and psycho-cultural characteristics of societies correspond with how much gender and ethnic/racial groups differ on their support of group-based hierarchy. Robustly, women opposed group-based hierarchy more than men did, and members of lower power ethnic/racial groups opposed group-based hierarchy more than members of higher power ethnic/racial groups did. As predicted by social domina…
Changing Boundaries of Ethnic Identity and Feelings Toward Ingroup/ Outgroup
Subjective group identification may not always be based on common biological origins or group salience, but rather, due to changes in group power. The present cross-temporal meta-analysis documents the transformation of Taiwan residents' identification as both Taiwanese and Chinese during recent decades, in which the legitimacy of Chinese power over Taiwan was changed. The relations between identification and feelings toward Taiwanese and Chinese…
The living arrangement may differentially influence IDU parents' motivation to reduce HIV risk as a function of gender
Studies that examine data from drug-abusing parents typically investigate the impact of parental behavior on their children's well-being and focus almost exclusively on the impact of mothers. Other approaches have examined the level of parental involvement among parents in drug treatment and find that a higher level of parental involvement is related to lower levels of addiction severity. Recent research examines the specific role of fathers and …

Examining the Decay of HIV Risk Reduction Outcomes Following a Community-Friendly Intervention Targeting Injection Drug Users in Treatment
It has become crucial for risk reduction interventions targeting injection drug users (IDUs) in treatment to be "community-friendly" and potent over time so that limited resources may be optimally utilized. This study examined (1) the extent to which observed post-intervention effects--including enhanced HIV-related knowledge, motivation, behavioral skills, and drug- and sex-risk reduction behavior--decayed over time and (2) whether repeating the…
Lesbians and Bisexual Women in the Eyes of Scientific Psychology
Social science research has contributed to the destigmatization of homosexuality which, in turn, has affected the topics researchers choose to study. We examined psychological research that focused on lesbians and bisexual women from 1975 to 2001 to determine if the frequency and content of this research reflect the increasingly positive view of sexual minorities in society. The results indicate that non-heterosexual people were included in less …
Social Relationships and Sexism in the United States and Taiwan
This research examines the cultural origins of sexism and how it is enacted within cultures. The harmonious tenor of Taiwanese collectivism and the competitive individualism of American culture are hypothesized to afford benevolent sexism and hostile sexism, respectively. Whereas hostile sexism was expected to affect Americans' bias in favor of men more than benevolent sexism, benevolent sexism should affect Taiwanese bias favoring men more than …
