Enactive mastery experience improves attitudes towards digital technology via self-efficacy – a pre-registered quasi-experiment
The purpose of this research is to improve attitudes towards digital technology. To this end, we compared two ways of introducing technology: an enactive mastery versus a vicarious experience. The former aimed at improving employees’ self-efficacy to use a robotic technology and, thereby, their attitudes towards it. We examined three attitude dimensions that are relevant when implementing new technology: (1) technology enthusiasm, (2) resistance …
Introducing digital technologies in the factory: Determinants of blue-collar workers’ attitudes towards new robotic tools
In the context of blue-collar work, digital technologies and robotic systems are introduced at a rapid speed. However, employees are not always motivated to adopt such new technologies. Thus, it is essential to understand the drivers of employees’ attitudes towards new technology at work (e.g. their enthusiasm about new technology or their insecurity or resistance to change). The present study examines (actual and desired) work characteristics as…
Flexibility mindsets: Reducing biases that result from spontaneous processing
Spontaneous (i.e., heuristic, fast, effortless, and associative) processing has clear advantages for human cognition, but it can also elicit undesirable outcomes such as stereotyping and other biases. In the current article, we argue that biased judgements and behaviour that result from spontaneous processing can be reduced by activating various flexibility mindsets. These mindsets are characterised by the consideration of alternatives beyond one…
Flexible minds make more moderate views: Subtractive counterfactuals mitigate strong views about immigrants’ trustworthiness
Public discourse on immigration has seemed to polarize over recent years—with some people strongly trusting, but others strongly distrusting immigrants. We examined whether a cognitive strategy could mitigate these biased outgroup judgments. Given that subtractive counterfactual thoughts (“If only I had not done X. . .”) facilitate cognitive flexibility and especially a relational processing style, we hypothesized that these thoughts (vs. additiv…
Out of sight, out of mind: Power-holders feel responsible when anticipating face-to-face, but not digital contact with others
A matter of flexibility: Changing outgroup attitudes through messages with negations
Attitudes toward outgroups are an important determinant of peaceful coexistence in diverse societies, but it is difficult to improve them. The current research studies the impact of messages with negations on outgroup attitudes, more specifically on outgroup trust. All studies were preregistered. Using different target groups, Studies 1 and 2 provide evidence for the prediction that communicating negations (e.g., "they are not deceptive") enhance…
Linking regulatory focus and threat–challenge: Transitions between and outcomes of four motivational states
Self-regulation research has flourished for the last three decades. In social psychology and beyond, a number of motivational approaches have been developed and these have provided new insights about numerous phenomena. However, a theoretical integration of these approaches is lacking, as are empirical comparisons across theories. This article seeks to make a step towards closing this gap. We do so by suggesting a model that specifies the relatio…

Whether power holders construe their power as responsibility or opportunity influences their tendency to take advice from others
Empirical evidence suggests that power elicits a generic tendency to disregard advice. We examined different responses power holders may show in their tendency to take advice depending on the construal of power. We report a field study and an experiment among managers and other powerful professionals (Studies 1 and 2) and an experiment in which participants were assigned to a powerful role (Study 3). Across studies, we found a higher tendency to …

From a Distance: The Impact of Approach and Avoidance Motivational Orientation on Perspective Taking
Egocentric anchoring, that is, overimputing one’s own perspective onto others constitutes a major obstacle for successful perspective taking. Accordingly, differentiating between the self and others is beneficial for perspective taking because it highlights the inadequacy of egocentric anchoring. The current research tested whether activating avoidance motivational orientation enhances perspective-taking performance (compared to approach motivati…
“While You Still Think, I Already Type”: Experienced Social Power Reduces Deliberation During E-Mail Communication
E-mail allows individuals to deliberate on their communication before sending it off. For instance, communication partners can easily take their time to ponder how best to frame a request before they actually send a message. Individuals at times strategically exploit this opportunity to deliberate in order to tailor messages to their communication partner, such as when communicating with a relatively more powerful person. As social power reduces …

The impact of discrepancies from ingroup norms on group members' well-being and motivation: Group-based self-regulation
The social identity approach assumes that group members are internally motivated to adhere to group norms. Even though there is plenty of evidence for this assumption, research on how group norms translate into behavior is scarce. If ingroup norms are internalized, they should elicit the same effect as individual standards. Derived from research on internally motivated individual standards, it was predicted that discrepancies from group norms res…
Being engaged at work and detached at home: A week-level study on work engagement, psychological detachment, and affect
Although earlier research has shown that work engagement is associated with positive outcomes for the employee and the organization, this paper suggests that employees also need time periods for temporarily disengaging (i.e., psychological detaching) from work. We hypothesized that work engagement and psychological detachment from work during off-job time predict high positive affect and low negative affect and that psychological detachment is pa…
