Resolving Social Dilemmas: Dynamic, Structural, and Intergroup Aspects
This book presents an accessible and state-of-the-art survey of current research on social dilemmas. A social dilemma arises when actions that are justifiable in terms of individual rationality (e.g. over-harvesting resources, or using private instead of public transportation) threaten the common good and in the long run the individual’s own self-interest as well. The study of social dilemmas has important links with many areas in psychology, as …
Two experimental tests of trust in in‐group strangers: The moderating role of common knowledge of group membership
The role that shared group membership plays in decisions to trust others is now well established within social psychology. A close reading of this literature, however, shows that this process is often moderated by other variables. Currently, we examined one potential moderator of this process. In particular, we evaluated the role that common knowledge of a shared social group membership between self and a to‐be‐trusted stranger provides as a basi…
Global Social Identity and Global Cooperation
This research examined the question of whether the psychology of social identity can motivate cooperation in the context of a global collective. Our data came from a multinational study of choice behavior in a multilevel public-goods dilemma conducted among samples drawn from the general populations of the United States, Italy, Russia, Argentina, South Africa, and Iran. Results demonstrate that an inclusive social identification with the world co…
Social identity change: Shifts in social identity during adolescence
This study investigated the proposition that adolescence involves significant shifts in social identity as a function of changes in social context and cognitive style. Using an experimental design, we primed either peer or gender identity with a sample of 380 early‐ (12–13 years), mid‐ (15–16 years), and late‐adolescents (18–20 years) and then measured the effect of the prime on self‐stereotyping and ingroup favouritism. The findings showed signi…
The Role of Attachment in Current and Future Parent Caregiving
Few studies have investigated how attachment bonds between older parents and their adult children influence adult children's provision of care and older parents' seeking of support from kin. The aim of this study was to investigate how the attachment orientations of adult children (N = 119) and older parents (N = 148) predict family caregiving and perceptions of carer burden. Across both samples (that were unrelated), attachment dimensions were a…
Group-Based Trust in Strangers: The Role of Stereotypes and Expectations
Across two studies, we provide evidence for group-based trust in strangers. Specifically, when we offered participants a choice between an unknown monetary allocation made by an in-group (university or major) or an out-group allocator, both of whom had total control over the distribution of an identical sum of money, participants strongly preferred the in-group allocator. This preference occurred regardless of whether the stereotype of the in-gro…
Tripartite Self-concept Change: Shifts in the Individual, Relational, and Collective Self in Adolescence
This study investigated changes in the tripartite self-concept in a sample of pre-, early-, mid-, and late-adolescents. Participants provided self-descriptions under conditions that primed either a personal or social context. As expected, adolescents showed fluctuating use of the individual, relational, and collective levels of self. The collective and individual self became more prominent, particularly in later adolescence, while the relational …
Self-Categorization, Status, and Social Influence

Beyond prejudice as simple antipathy: Hostile and benevolent sexism across cultures
The authors argue that complementary hostile and benevolent components of sexism exist across cultures. Male dominance creates hostile sexism (HS), but men's dependence on women fosters benevolent sexism (BS)--subjectively positive attitudes that put women on a pedestal but reinforce their subordination. Research with 15,000 men and women in 19 nations showed that (a) HS and BS are coherent constructs that correlate positively across nations, but…
Can Gender Inequalities Be Eliminated
In previous work we used a conceptualization of double standards to develop a theory explaining how similar performances may lead to different levels of attributed ability when performers belong to different status groups (e.g., gender, ethnicity). The theory predicts that the effect of double standards will be reduced when objective standards are presented explicitly. Using the dyadic influence paradigm from status characteristics research, we t…
Relative Ability, Paths of Relevance, and Influence in Task-Oriented Groups
In task-oriented groups, people accept influence more from others whom they believe, on the basis of diffuse and specific status characteristics as well as prior performances, to have greater ability at the task. Past research has treated difference in ability as a binary variable (better or worse); it is not known whether magnitude of difference in performances translates into relative magnitude of inferred ability, and thence into degrees of di…

Ethnic Accent as a Status Cue
Les auteurs tentent de verifier l'hypothese selon laquelle l'accent dans le langage est un indice de statut utilise pour inferer l'identite ethnique du sujet. L'experience est menee grâce a 1 groupe d'anglo-australiens et un groupe de grecs-australiens
Self‐extensions: A Conceptualization
Trust and the Consumption of a Deteriorating Common Resource
This study examines the relationship between generalized expectations about others' behavior (interpersonal trust) and consumption of a regenerating resource in a simulated commons dilemma. Eighty subjects were assigned to one of four feedback conditions in a split-plot factorial design (trust X feedback X blocks). Resources were programmed to deteriorate at four different rates. However, subjects believed they were acting in groups of five, and …
Vicarious Exposure to a Task as a Basis of Evaluative Competence
Patterns of Gaze in Cooperative and Competitive Negotiation
On the basis of theoretical assumptions about the information needs of cooperative and competitive negotiators, it was predicted that experimental manipulation of motivational orientation should produce different patterns of gaze and mutual gaze. The frequency and duration of gaze and mutual gaze of naive subjects in 28 dyads was monitored by video cameras. As predicted, the average length of gaze and mutual gaze was greater for cooperators, whil…
