Best Version of Yourself? TikToxic Effects of That-Girl Videos on Mood, Body Satisfaction, Dieting Intentions, and Self Discipline
The “That Girl” self-optimization trend on TikTok, promoting beauty and productivity, had over 17.4 billion views by August 2024. “That Girl” video clips showcase perfectly organized daily routines, fitness activities, and healthy eating—allegedly to inspire other users to aspire to similar flawlessness. Based on social comparison theory, the “That Girl” archetype serves as an upward comparison target. We expected detrimental effects of viewing “…
Scrutinizing sexism in comedy under the lens of social identity threat and prejudiced norm theory: Are leadership aspirations and benevolent sexism affected
Perceived gender differences and the supposed flaws of women are frequently conveyed in comedy formats – yet the consequences of such humor may differ for female and male recipients. Theory and research on stereotype threat and social identity threat suggest that stereotyping or devaluing communication against women can lead to their decreased identification with domains in which they are negatively stereotyped. Additionally, according to prejudi…

The cultural identity and psychological well-being of adolescents with a migrant background fluctuate over time, influenced by the social context. Stereotype vulnerability contributes to lower levels of psychological well-being among adolescents with a migrant background in Austria. Our findings highlight the necessity to partition the variance of constructs to avoid confounding of between-person and within-person effects. (PsycInfo Database Reco…

Immigrant students’ educational trajectories: The influence of cultural identity and stereotype threat
Research has shown that stereotype threat can inhibit immigrant students to unlock their full potential. Individual differences in cultural identity could be associated with immigrants’ stereotype vulnerability. This longitudinal study (n = 516) investigates the influence of recurring experiences of stereotype threat at school, and how adolescent immigrants’ cultural identity and stereotype vulnerability affect their educational achievement. The …
On the eeriness of service robots with emotional capabilities
The uncanny valley hypothesis suggests that high human-likeness of humanoid robots is associated with feelings of uncanniness (eeriness, creepiness). Based on the literature on mind perception two aspects of human-likeness were distinguished. An experiment showed that a robot's capacity to feel (experience) leads to stronger feelings of uncanniness than a robot's capacity to plan ahead and to exert self-control (agency), which is still more uncan…
