  • Werte in fachübergreifenden Lehrplantexten für das gegliederte Schulwesen in Bayern

    Open Access•Annette Scheunpflug, Andrea E Abele-Brehm et al.•ARTICLE•Zeitschrift für Erziehungswissensch…•2024

    In diesem Beitrag geht es um Wertekonfigurationen in Lehrplantexten unterschiedlicher Schularten. Mit der empirischen Studie werden die fachübergreifenden Richtlinien von vier Lehrplänen in Bayern inhaltsanalytisch untersucht und die darin vorfindlichen Wertespektren nach Schulart verglichen. Die Studie knüpft an einen in den letzten Jahrzehnten kaum empirisch bearbeiteten Diskurs zu Werten in Lehrplänen an und ist in diesem Sinne explorativ. Das…

  • Body posture and interpersonal perception in a dyadic interaction: A Big Two analysis

    Open Access•Andrea E Abele-Brehm, Vincent Yzerbyt•ARTICLE•European Journal of Social…•2021•References: 56

    Body posture influences feelings about the self, but little is known about its impact on social cognition more generally. We apply the Big Two framework (Agency/Competence, Communion/Warmth) and study how body posture influences interpersonal perception in a dyadic interaction. In three experiments, we studied dyads with different body postures (Exps. 1 and 2: expanded/restricted; Exp. 3: expanded/neutral). Dyad members worked on a joint task, an…

  • Navigating the social world: Toward an integrated framework for evaluating self, individuals, and groups

    Andrea E Abele-Brehm, Naomi Ellemers et al.•ARTICLE•Psychological Review•2020

    Social evaluation occurs at personal, interpersonal, group, and intergroup levels, with competing theories and evidence. Five models engage in adversarial collaboration, to identify common conceptual ground, ongoing controversies, and continuing agendas: Dual Perspective Model (Abele & Wojciszke, 2007); Behavioral Regulation Model (Leach, Ellemers, & Barreto, 2007); Dimensional Compensation Model (Yzerbyt et al., 2005); Stereotype Content Model (…

  • Comparing the facets of the big two in global evaluation of self versus other people

    Open Access•Andrea E Abele-Brehm, Nicole Hauke•ARTICLE•European Journal of Social…•2020•Cited by: 3•References: 58

    The Big Two of agency and communion can be divided into the facets of agency‐assertiveness, agency‐competence, communion‐morality, and communion‐warmth. The present research studies how these facets are related to global evaluation of self versus others. In five studies we tested whether self‐evaluation is reliably related to agency‐assertiveness (H1), and evaluation of others to communion‐morality (H2). Participants had to describe themselves (o…

  • Individual self > relational self > collective self—But why? Processes driving the self‐hierarchy in self‐ and person perception

    Open Access•Andreas D Nehrlich, Jochen E Gebauer et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality•2019

    Objective The self has three parts: individual, relational, and collective. Typically, people personally value their individual self most, their relational self less, and their collective self least. This self‐hierarchy is consequential, but underlying processes have remained unknown. Here, we propose two process accounts. The content account draws upon selves' agentic–communal content, explaining why the individual self is preferred most. The te…

  • Two faces of the self: Actor-self perspective and observer-self perspective are differentially related to agency versus communion

    Nicole Hauke, Andrea E Abele-Brehm•ARTICLE•Self and Identity•2019

    Communion is evaluated more positively and people are more concerned if their communion is discredited, but their self-esteem is dominated by agency. For reconciling these results we present an extended Dual Perspective Model that distinguishes the actor-self perspective (self-as-identity) and the observer-self perspective (self-as-reputation) and the facets of agency (assertiveness, competence) and communion (warmth, morality). Self-as-identity …

  • Attitudes Toward Open Science and Public Data Sharing: A Survey Among Members of the German Psychological Society

    Andrea E Abele-Brehm, Mario Gollwitzer et al.•ARTICLE•Social Psychology•2019•References: 18

    Central values of science are, among others, transparency, verifiability, replicability, and openness. The currently very prominent Open Science (OS) movement supports these values. Among its most important principles are open methodology (comprehensive and useful documentation of methods and materials used), open access to published research output, and open data (making collected data available for re-analyses). We here present a survey conduct…

  • Facets of the Fundamental Content Dimensions: Agency with Competence and Assertiveness—Communion with Warmth and Morality

    1.808). Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses supported our model. Both the two-factor model and the four-factor model showed good fit indices across countries. Participants answered additional measures intended to demonstrate the fruitfulness of distinguishing the facets. The findings support the model's construct validity by positioning the fundamental dimensions and their facets within a network of self-construal, values, impression man…

    What is the role of parents, peers and teachers in shaping school experiences and informing the career choice of males and females? Does the school context matter, and to what extent do educational experiences influence young people's self-concept, values and their outlook to the future? Do teenage aspirations influence later outcomes regarding educational attainment and the assumption of work and family related roles? These questions and more ar…

  • Preference for Other Persons' Traits Is Dependent on the Kind of Social Relationship

    Andrea E Abele, Andrea E Abele-Brehm et al.•ARTICLE•Social Psychology•2013•Cited by: 7•References: 33

    Three studies test the proposition that people appreciate others' traits relative to the kind of relationship they have. Hypotheses are derived from the dual-perspective model, according to which the fundamental content dimensions of traits, agency, and communion are linked differently to the perspectives of actor versus observer; and that the kind of relationship between both persons is a moderator of the perspective-trait link. Study 1 shows th…

  • The Density of the Big Two: How Are Agency and Communion Structurally Represented

    Susanne Bruckmüller, Andrea E Abele et al.•ARTICLE•Social Psychology•2013•Cited by: 15•References: 29

    Communion and agency are fundamental dimensions of social perception and judgment. Previous research revealed a primacy of communion in social information processing. The present research investigates whether there is a similar asymmetry in the "density" of communion and agency. We test whether communal content is more densely clustered in memory than agentic content, that is, more similar to other communal content than agentic content is similar…

  • Empathic Perspective Taking and the Situational Malleability of the Communal Self-concept

    Mirjam Uchronski, Andrea E Abele-Brehm et al.•ARTICLE•Self and Identity•2012

    Previous research has suggested that communal self-descriptions might be less malleable than agentic ones. We propose that the communal self-concept is malleable as well, and that empathic perspective taking activates the communal self-concept. In two studies, participants watched a video and were either instructed to empathically take the perspective of the target person or to remain objective and detached. In Study 1, we used a repeated-measure…

  • Framing gender differences: Linguistic normativity affects perceptions of power and gender stereotypes

    Open Access•Susanne Bruckmüller, Peter Hegarty et al.•ARTICLE•European Journal of Social…•2012•Cited by: 11•References: 31

    When unknown groups and equal status groups are compared by contrasting one group (“the effect to be explained”) against another (“the linguistic norm”), the group positioned as the norm is sometimes perceived as more powerful, more agentic, and as less communal. Such perceptions may contribute to status‐linked stereotypes, as group differences are spontaneously described by positioning higher‐status groups as the linguistic norm. Here, 103 parti…

  • Self‐esteem is dominated by agentic over communal information

    Open Access•Bogdan Wojciszke, Wiesław Baryła et al.•ARTICLE•European Journal of Social…•2011•Cited by: 17•References: 43

    We present a Double Perspective Model (DPM) explaining why agency (competence) and communion (warmth) constitute two basic content dimensions of social cognition. Every social action involves two perspectives: of the agent (a person who performs an action) and of the recipient (a person at whom the action is directed). Immediate cognitive goals of the agent and recipient differ, which results in heightened accessibility and weight of content refe…

  • The bigger one of the “Big Two”? Preferential processing of communal information

    Open Access•Andrea E Abele, Andrea E Abele-Brehm et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Experimental Social…•2011•Cited by: 45•References: 46

    An important aim of person perception is to guide people in their actions towards others and an especially important question in this regard is whether to approach a target or not. A target's traits can be differentiated into the “Big Two” fundamental content dimensions of agency and communion. Four studies test the hypothesis that relative to agentic traits communal traits – which can also be conceptualized as “other-profitable” traits – are pro…

    Open Access•Bogdan Wojciszke, Andrea E Abele et al.•ARTICLE•European Journal of Social…•2009•Cited by: 35•References: 41

    Liking and respect are proposed as two dimensions of interpersonal attitudes. Whereas liking–disliking reflects personal preferences, respect–disrespect reflects deference. Four studies involving a variety of samples and target persons showed that: (1) liking is more strongly influenced by communal than agentic qualities of the target, (2) respect is more strongly influenced by agentic than communal qualities of the target, (3) influence of commu…

  • Towards an operationalization of the fundamental dimensions of agency and communion: Trait content ratings in five countries considering valence and frequency of word occurrence

    Despite many convergences in theorizing and research on the two fundamental dimensions of social judgment the operationalizations differ considerably across studies and possible confounds (valence, frequency of word occurrence) are not always controlled. The present study was meant as a first step towards a more standardized operationalization by providing trait words which are clearly distinct in content (agency and communion) but comparable in …

  • The primacy of communion over agency and its reversals in evaluations

    Open Access•Bogdan Wojciszke, Andrea E Abele-Brehm•ARTICLE•European Journal of Social…•2008•Cited by: 33•References: 17

    Agency (A) and communion (C) are basic dimensions of social judgment and C is typically more important than A. Building on the two‐interest account of bidimensionality of social cognition, we hypothesized that this “C over A” pattern is typical for judging distant persons but is attenuated or even reversed when people judge the self or interdependent persons. In Study 1 we found that the construal of events leading to changes in a target's evalua…

  • The influence of success and failure experiences on agency

    Open Access•Andrea E Abele, Andrea E Abele-Brehm et al.•ARTICLE•European Journal of Social…•2008•Cited by: 10•References: 31

    Agency is—besides communion—a basic dimension of traits. It can be specifically linked to behavioral outcomes, to status, mastery, self‐esteem and to success. The present paper analyzes the situational malleability of agency. Two studies tested whether an individual's agency (but not communion) is situationally influenced by the experience of success versus failure at a task, as well as whether this effect is the same for men and women.

    On the basis of previous research, the authors hypothesize that (a) person descriptive terms can be organized into the broad dimensions of agency and communion of which communion is the primary one; (b) the main distinction between these dimensions pertains to their profitability for the self (agency) vs. for other persons (communion); hence, agency is more desirable and important in the self-perspective, and communion is more desirable and impor…

    A joint impact hypothesis on symptom experience is introduced that specifies the role of negative mood and self-focus, which have been considered independently in previous research. Accordingly, negative affect only promotes symptom experience when people simultaneously focus their attention on the self. One correlational study and 4 experiments supported this prediction: Only negative mood combined with self-focus facilitated the experience (see…

These conditions were compared with detection performance in displays containing key features of emotional faces not forming the perceptual gestalt of a face. Supporting the notion of a threat detection advantage, Experiment 1 found that threatening faces …

  • Effects of Experience and Advice on Process and Performance in Negotiations

    Open Access•Wolfgang Steinel, Andrea E Abele-Brehm et al.•ARTICLE•Group Processes & Intergroup…•2007•Cited by: 2•References: 8

    This experiment ( N = 68 dyads) tested the influence of experience and advice on behavior and joint outcomes in integrative two-party negotiations. Dyads in an advice condition received short tactical advice to question fixed-pie assumptions and to exchange information. Afterward, they negotiated once. Dyads in an experience condition negotiated twice in successive rounds. Finally, dyads in an experience-and-advice condition negotiated twice and …

  • Agency and communion from the perspective of self versus others

    Andrea E Abele, Andrea E Abele-Brehm et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality and Social…•2007•Cited by: 154

    On the basis of previous research, the authors hypothesize that (a) person descriptive terms can be organized into the broad dimensions of agency and communion of which communion is the primary one; (b) the main distinction between these dimensions pertains to their profitability for the self (agency) vs. for other persons (communion); hence, agency is more desirable and important in the self-perspective, and communion is more desirable and impor…

  • Towards an operationalization of the fundamental dimensions of agency and communion: Trait content ratings in five countries considering valence and frequency of word occurrence

    Open Access•Andrea E Abele-Brehm, Mirjam Uchronski et al.•ARTICLE•European Journal of Social…•2008•Cited by: 37•References: 16

    Despite many convergences in theorizing and research on the two fundamental dimensions of social judgment the operationalizations differ considerably across studies and possible confounds (valence, frequency of word occurrence) are not always controlled. The present study was meant as a first step towards a more standardized operationalization by providing trait words which are clearly distinct in content (agency and communion) but comparable in …

  • The primacy of communion over agency and its reversals in evaluations

    Open Access•Bogdan Wojciszke, Andrea E Abele-Brehm•ARTICLE•European Journal of Social…•2008•Cited by: 33•References: 17

    Agency (A) and communion (C) are basic dimensions of social judgment and C is typically more important than A. Building on the two‐interest account of bidimensionality of social cognition, we hypothesized that this “C over A” pattern is typical for judging distant persons but is attenuated or even reversed when people judge the self or interdependent persons. In Study 1 we found that the construal of events leading to changes in a target's evalua…

  • The influence of success and failure experiences on agency

    Open Access•Andrea E Abele, Andrea E Abele-Brehm et al.•ARTICLE•European Journal of Social…•2008•Cited by: 10•References: 31

    Agency is—besides communion—a basic dimension of traits. It can be specifically linked to behavioral outcomes, to status, mastery, self‐esteem and to success. The present paper analyzes the situational malleability of agency. Two studies tested whether an individual's agency (but not communion) is situationally influenced by the experience of success versus failure at a task, as well as whether this effect is the same for men and women. Supportin…

  • Two dimensions of interpersonal attitudes: Liking depends on communion, respect depends on agency

    Open Access•Bogdan Wojciszke, Andrea E Abele et al.•ARTICLE•European Journal of Social…•2009•Cited by: 35•References: 41

    Liking and respect are proposed as two dimensions of interpersonal attitudes. Whereas liking–disliking reflects personal preferences, respect–disrespect reflects deference. Four studies involving a variety of samples and target persons showed that: (1) liking is more strongly influenced by communal than agentic qualities of the target, (2) respect is more strongly influenced by agentic than communal qualities of the target, (3) influence of commu…

  • Self‐esteem is dominated by agentic over communal information

    Open Access•Bogdan Wojciszke, Wiesław Baryła et al.•ARTICLE•European Journal of Social…•2011•Cited by: 17•References: 43

    We present a Double Perspective Model (DPM) explaining why agency (competence) and communion (warmth) constitute two basic content dimensions of social cognition. Every social action involves two perspectives: of the agent (a person who performs an action) and of the recipient (a person at whom the action is directed). Immediate cognitive goals of the agent and recipient differ, which results in heightened accessibility and weight of content refe…

  • The bigger one of the “Big Two”? Preferential processing of communal information

    Open Access•Andrea E Abele, Andrea E Abele-Brehm et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Experimental Social…•2011•Cited by: 45•References: 46

    An important aim of person perception is to guide people in their actions towards others and an especially important question in this regard is whether to approach a target or not. A target's traits can be differentiated into the “Big Two” fundamental content dimensions of agency and communion. Four studies test the hypothesis that relative to agentic traits communal traits – which can also be conceptualized as “other-profitable” traits – are pro…

  • Empathic Perspective Taking and the Situational Malleability of the Communal Self-concept

    Mirjam Uchronski, Andrea E Abele-Brehm et al.•ARTICLE•Self and Identity•2012

    Previous research has suggested that communal self-descriptions might be less malleable than agentic ones. We propose that the communal self-concept is malleable as well, and that empathic perspective taking activates the communal self-concept. In two studies, participants watched a video and were either instructed to empathically take the perspective of the target person or to remain objective and detached. In Study 1, we used a repeated-measure…

  • Framing gender differences: Linguistic normativity affects perceptions of power and gender stereotypes

    Open Access•Susanne Bruckmüller, Peter Hegarty et al.•ARTICLE•European Journal of Social…•2012•Cited by: 11•References: 31

    When unknown groups and equal status groups are compared by contrasting one group (“the effect to be explained”) against another (“the linguistic norm”), the group positioned as the norm is sometimes perceived as more powerful, more agentic, and as less communal. Such perceptions may contribute to status‐linked stereotypes, as group differences are spontaneously described by positioning higher‐status groups as the linguistic norm. Here, 103 parti…
