  • Impacts of Unethical Behavior on Self-Esteem

    Open AccessYuan Liang, Lingling Huang et al.ARTICLEPersonality and Social Psychology…2025

    Previous studies have reported mixed findings on how and why unethical behavior affects self-esteem. To address this issue, a contingent dual-process model is proposed and tested. The model postulates a negative impact of unethical behavior on self-esteem through decreased morality, a positive effect through increased competence, and the relative strength of these two paths depending on system-justifying motives. Studies using unethical behavior …

  • People in relationally mobile cultures report higher well-being

    Liuqing Wei, Alexander English et al.ARTICLEEmotion2024

    In cultures with high relational mobility, relationships are free and flexible. People can make new friends easily, and they have the freedom to leave unsatisfying relationships. In cultures with low relational mobility, relationships are more fixed, and people have less freedom to leave relationships. We argue that people experience higher well-being if they have the freedom to exit toxic relationships and find new partners easily. In Study 1, w…

  • Turning a blind eye

    Open AccessXuyun Tan, Yue Zhang et al.ARTICLEInternational Journal of Psychology2021

    Findings on the effect of social status on corruption perception are mixed. To make sense of the mixed results, three studies were conducted to examine whether meritocracy moderates this effect. In Study 1, we measured all variables using a questionnaire‐based correlational design. In the preregistered Study 2, we adopted an experimental design in which we manipulated social status using a false feedback paradigm and measured corruption perceptio…

  • How healthcare workers respond to Covid-19

    Open AccessYunjiao Chen, Xuyun Tan et al.ARTICLEActa Psychologica2021

    Healthcare workers play a vital role in the fight against COVID-19. Based on Terror Management Theory (TMT), the present research examined whether a close relationships defense mechanism reduces anxiety among healthcare workers (N = 729) in China. Our results suggest that this defense mechanism, as indexed by relationship satisfaction, serves as an effective terror management source after exposure to reminders of death (MS; mortality salience). T…

  • The Structural Dilemma of Citizen Participation

    Open AccessXuyun Tan, Xuejiao Dou et al.ARTICLEJournal of Pacific Rim Psychology2021

    In the context of rapid social change, the perception of social stratification has far-reaching and complex influences on human psychology and behavior, including citizen participation. The current research explored the interactive influence of social status and subjective social mobility on citizen participation. Two studies used experimental methods to manipulate subjective social mobility and social status, respectively, to examine the interac…

  • Powerful postures do not lead to risky behaviors

    Open AccessOutong Chen, Yang Zhao-Ning et al.ARTICLEJournal of Pacific Rim Psychology2019

    Recent research has found that a specific manipulation of body postures can influence psychological states associated with power, including an individual’s feeling of power and risk-taking tendency, but the results vary. The purpose of this study is to replicate previous studies. A pilot experiment examined the validity of 10 postures extracted from multiple former studies. Only 4 postures were consistent with former studies. Experiment 1 replica…

  • The moderating effect of general system justification on the relationship between unethical behavior and self-esteem

    Yuan Liang, Liu Li et al.ARTICLESelf and Identity2018

To make sense of these results, the current research examined the moderating role of general system justification on the relationship between unethical behavior and self-esteem. Study 1 and Study 2, using a bribery scenario and an actual cheating behavior respectively, indicated that unethical behavior was positively related to self-estee…

  • Working for the Hierarchical System

    Open AccessXuyun Tan, Li Liu et al.ARTICLEPolitical Psychology2017Cited by: 5References: 50

    Corruption has a wide range of corrosive effects on societies, but it is widespread throughout the world. There is a question, however, as to whether corruption is endorsed as an outcome of a legitimate hierarchy and meritocracy. To address this issue, the present study examines the associations between meritocratic ideology and the indicators of corruption by performing two empirical studies with correlational and experimental designs. In Study …

  • Polluted Air Increases Perceived Corruption

    Open AccessZhenwei Huang, Wenwen Zheng et al.ARTICLEJournal of Pacific Rim Psychology2016

    Drawing upon the moral cleanness metaphor and the power height metaphor, we proposed the clear sky effect: polluted air increases perceived corruption. To test the effect, we established a correlation (Studies 1 and 2) and causal link (Studies 3, 4, and 5) between haze pollution and corruption perception. This correlation is unique, in that, of various air pollutants, only the major haze indicator was positively correlated with corruption percept…
