  • Receiving Social Support Motivates Long-Term Prosocial Behavior

    Open AccessChiara Trombini, Winnie Yun Jiang et al.ARTICLEJournal of Business Ethics2025

    Prosocial behavior—actions aimed to benefit other individuals, groups, or communities—are important for promoting and maintaining a healthy society. Extant research on the factors driving prosocial behavior has mainly addressed short-term effects, overlooking the factors that motivate long-term prosocial behavior. Building on attachment theory, we theorize that an interpersonal factor, receiving social support, can foster prosocial behavior in th…

  • Adding Fuel to the Collective Fire

    Open AccessClarissa Cortland, Zoe KiniasARTICLEPersonality and Social Psychology…2025

    We hypothesize a yet-unstudied effect of experiencing systemic stereotype threat on women’s collective action efforts: igniting women’s support for other women and motivation to improve organizational gender balance. Hypotheses are supported in two surveys (Study 1: N = 1,365 business school alumnae; Study 2: N = 386 women Master of Business Administration [MBA]), and four experiments (Studies 3–6; total N = 1,897 working women). Studies 1 and 2 …

    Global racism and colorism, the preference for fairer skin even within ethnic and racial groups, leads millions of women of African, Asian, and Latin descent to use products with chemical ingredients intended to lighten skin color. Drawing from literatures on the impact of chronic and situational disempowerment on behavioral risk-taking to enhance status, we hypothesized that activating feelings of disempowerment would increase women of color’s i…

  • Culture and gender inequality

    Open AccessZoe Kinias, Heejung S KimARTICLEGroup Processes & Intergroup…2011Cited by: 4References: 13

    Previous research linking perceptions of gender inequality and psychological well-being were considered in light of the proposition that people from different cultures differ in their beliefs about how justifiable gender inequality is, and this research investigated these differences and their psychological consequences using cross-cultural comparisons. The results show that Hong Kong Chinese women saw gender inequality as less unjust (Study 1) a…

  • The Group as a Resource

    Open AccessDavid K Sherman, Zoe Kinias et al.ARTICLEPersonality and Social Psychology…2007

    Self-affirmation theory proposes that people can respond to threats to the self by affirming alternative sources of self-integrity, resulting in greater openness to self-threatening information. The present research examines this at a group level by investigating whether a group affirmation (affirming an important group value) increases acceptance of threatening group information among sports teams and fans. In Study 1, athletes exhibited a group…
