The unexpected importance of expectations in self-conscious emotions
Prominent accounts suggest that people feel self-conscious emotions when they evaluate their self-caused, identity-relevant behavior as a success or failure (Tracy & Robins, 2004)-even if they expected to succeed or fail. We propose a novel, alternative account that builds on those prior by considering expectations. People feel self-conscious emotions when they evaluate their self-caused, identity-relevant behavior as discrepant from expectations…
Intergroup contact in virtual reality
This study employed virtual reality (VR) to examine how avatar embodiment (self vs stranger), virtual human race (ingroup vs outgroup), and contact valence (positive vs negative) influence intergroup attitudes. US participants ( N = 262) assigned to avatars displaying a stranger’s face, rather than their own, showed greater acceptance of outgroup virtual humans. Perceived identifiability mediated the influence of avatar face on self-other overlap…
Two sides of a coin
This study explores how Chinese migrants in Singapore navigate their overseas lives through social media use. Survey data collected from Chinese migrants reveals that social media use serves as a double-edged sword: while it is positively associated with migrants’ life satisfaction, it also heightens their perception of online discrimination. Furthermore, results also suggest an essential role of self-esteem: elevated self-esteem correlates with …
When experiencing discrimination predicts greater outgroup affiliation
Research has documented how groups cope with perceived discrimination by enhancing their identification with their minority ingroup and reducing their identification with the majority outgroup. However, these patterns have not been consistent across contexts nor examined in relation to discrimination encountered online. Through a survey of PRC Chinese immigrants in Singapore, we examine how online perceived discrimination relates to attitudes tow…
The Atemporal Silence of Aesthetics
This study investigates how transfeminine crossplay—imagined or enacted crossdressing as feminine characters from anime and manga—offers aesthetic resources for genderqueer experimentation. We situate this investigation in Singapore, an Asian sociopolitical context which privileges social harmony and penalizes vocal dissent. Through interviews with six crossplay fans (some identifying as transgender but not others), we unpack how they harness aes…
Mobile Media (Non-)Use as Expression of Agency
The literature on mobile media and marginalized groups has focused on the use of mobile media as an agentic, visible, and varied process related to individual empowerment. Conversely, nonuse is often presupposed to be a passive, invisible condition imposed by sociostructural forces. Our paper challenges this binary, positing that mobile media (non-)use can be an expression of agency motivated in response to structural constraints. We posit that (…
