The gender gap in the care economy is larger in highly developed countries: Sociocultural explanations for paradoxical findings
Despite the growing demand for care economy employees (e.g., nurses, teachers, and social workers), men remain underrepresented in these careers. While economically developed countries support more equal rights for women and men, their labor markets are highly gender segregated (Charles, 1992, 2003). We conducted a focused investigation of this paradoxical pattern in the care economy, testing whether gender gaps in care economy career interest ar…
Biased perception of distributions: Anchoring, interpolation and smoothing as potential causes
Perceiving the degree of variation in the social and non-social environment is a cognitive task that is important for many judgments and decisions. In the present research, we investigated cognitive underpinnings of how people estimate the average value of segments of a statistical distribution (e.g., what is the average income of the richest 25% of a population?). In three experiments (total N = 222), participants learned about the values of exp…
Gender Gap in Parental Leave Intentions: Evidence from 37 Countries
Despite global commitments and efforts, a gender‐based division of paid and unpaid work persists. To identify how psychological factors, national policies, and the broader sociocultural context contribute to this inequality, we assessed parental‐leave intentions in young adults (18–30 years old) planning to have children (N = 13,942; 8,880 identified as women; 5,062 identified as men) across 37 countries that varied in parental‐leave policies and…
The identification-guilt paradox revisited – Evidence for a curvilinear relationship between group-level self-investment and group-based guilt
Empirical evidence on the relationship between strength of in-group identification and collective guilt is mixed. Some studies point to anegative relationship, other work has found apositive or no link. We assume that the relationship between identification (group-level self-investment and self-definition) and collective guilt is inverted U-shaped (quadratic). Furthermore, we expect that self-investment in the group should be more central for the…
(Not) Thinking about you: Differences in victims’ and perpetrators’ self‐focus after interpersonal and intergroup transgressions
We tested the hypothesis that, following a transgression, victims and perpetrators differ in their focus of attention. In three studies (total N = 740), we manipulated participants’ social role (victim vs. perpetrator) in a hypothetical scenario (Studies 1 and 2) and in a perceived real conflict (Study 3) in an interpersonal (Studies 1 and 2) and an intergroup (Study 3) context. Results from all studies confirmed that victims show a stronger self…
A Social Identity Model of Pro-Environmental Action (Simpea).
Large-scale environmental crises are genuinely collective phenomena: they usually result from collective, rather than personal, behavior and how they are cognitively represented and appraised is determined by collectively shared interpretations (e.g., differing across ideological groups) and based on concern for collectives (e.g., humankind, future generations) rather than for individuals. Nevertheless, pro-environmental action has been primarily…
The two-dimensions-five-components structure of in-group identification is invariant across various identification patterns in different social groups
In-group identification has been suggested to consist of two-dimensions (group based self-definition and self-investment) that hierarchically relate to five lower order components (individual self-stereotyping, in-group homogeneity, satisfaction, solidarity, and centrality). The goal of the present research was to test the generalizability of the two-dimensions-five-components structure of in-group identification across identities with which peop…
Closing ranks: Ingroup norm conformity as a subtle response to threatening climate change
We tested the hypothesis that climate change threat increases group-based cognition and action tendencies. As ingroups can provide extended primary control, we expected climate change threat to increase conformity with ingroup norms and group protective behavior. In three studies ( N = 404), we experimentally manipulated climate change threat (Studies 1–3) and group norm content (Studies 2 and 3). We found that participants under climate change t…
Collective efficacy increases pro-environmental intentions through increasing self-efficacy
Comparison of the Effects of Individual and Group-Level Perspective Taking on Intergroup Reconciliation
We investigated the effects of different perspective taking instructions on emotional variables in the context of intergroup reconciliation. In three experiments we found that individual-level and group-level perspective taking increased willingness to compensate an outgroup for historical transgressions of the ingroup. The data suggests that the two forms of perspective taking trigger different psychological processes. Individual-level perspecti…
Absolute moral standards and global identity as independent predictors of collective action against global injustice
Today's global challenges necessitate the cooperation of the international community. In two studies, this paper investigates global identity and absolute moral standards as two important predictors of solidarity and collective action intentions. In Study 1 ( N = 450), we found evidence for parallel direct effects of global identity and absolute standards on intergroup solidarity and indirectly on collective action intentions. Similar, albeit wea…
Psychological foundations of xenophilia: The role of major personality traits in predicting favorable attitudes toward cross-cultural contact and exploration
Building on an integration of research findings on intergroup behavior from multiple fields of scientific inquiry (biological and cultural paleoanthropology, social psychology), as well as research on the HEXACO personality framework (e.g., Ashton & Lee, 2007), 3 independent studies (total N = 1,007) were conducted to introduce and test a fresh personality perspective on human xenophilia. Even though the studies focused on different criteria (Stu…

Lebenskunst im Alltag. Analyse der Werke von Peter Handke, Thomas Bernhard und Brigitte Kronauer
Barth, Markus. im Alltag. Analyse der Werke von Peter Handke, Thomas Bernhard and Brigitte Kronauer Wiesbaden: Deutscher Universitats-Verlag, 1998. xv + 376 pp. DM 84.00. One emerges from this excellent analysis of the oeuvres of Peter Handke, Thomas Bernhard and Brigitte Kronauer with greater understanding of and appreciation for the three authors. Markus Barth's book is a celebration of reading, especially close and re-reading, because these th…
Bem: Questions and Considerations
“The authors of BEM do not intend to degrade Christ to a mere founder of the holy sacraments, or the Holy Spirit to a mere instrument of sacramental miracle working. But they say so many and such powerful things in praise of the sacraments that one would almost think that the perfection, validity, and glory of the work of Christ needs ecclesiastical assistance in order to be effective... The document should in fact be ‘received’ just as it is. It…
Traditions in Ephesians
Ephesians is a most rewarding, pehaps inexhaustible hunting ground for everyone eager to detect traditions whose forms and contents were used in the composition of a New Testament book. While a quotation formula (‘he, or, it says’) is used only twice in Ephesians, in 4. 8 for a biblical Psalm and in 5. 14 for an awakening call of debatable origin, unmarked quotations and allusions abound. They stem from oral and written, hymnic and pose, liturgic…
