Perceived institutional mindset is associated with college students’ psychological experiences and academic outcomes
Do students perceive mindset beliefs communicated by their colleges, and if so, how are they reflected in students’ psychological and academic outcomes? This research explores how students' important outcomes are linked to perceived institutional mindset: students’ perceptions of the degree to which their college views ability as immutable and unchangeable (an institutional fixed mindset) or malleable and expandable (an institutional growth minds…
The Interrelationships Between Sexual Problems and Sexual Satisfaction
Sexual problems in relationships are negatively correlated with sexual satisfaction, but the direction of this relationship remains unclear. Although most theorizing posits that changes in sexual problems precede changes in sexual satisfaction, most studies are cross-sectional, so they cannot assess directionality or capture any bidirectional effects. This study addressed this limitation by investigating the association between sexual problems an…
Girls are good at STEM
Girls and women face persistent negative stereotyping within STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics). This field intervention was designed to improve boys' perceptions of girls' STEM ability. Boys (N = 667; mostly White and East Asian) aged 9–15 years in Canadian STEM summer camps (2017–2019) had an intervention or control conversation with trained camp staff. The intervention was a multi-stage persuasive appeal: a values affirmation…
Gender representation and academic achievement among STEM‐interested students in college STEM courses
Substantial gender equity gaps in postsecondary degree completion persist within many science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines, and these disparities have not narrowed during the 21st century. Various explanations of this phenomenon have been offered; one possibility that has received limited attention is that the sparse representation of women itself has adverse effects on the academic achievement—and ultimately the p…
A Social-Belonging Intervention Benefits Higher Weight Students’ Weight Stability and Academic Achievement
Psychological interventions can narrow college achievement gaps between students from nonstigmatized and stigmatized groups. However, no intervention we know of has investigated effects for one highly stigmatized group: people of higher bodyweights. We analyzed data from a prematriculation social-belonging intervention trial at 22 colleges, which conveyed that adversity in the college transition is normative, temporary, and nondiagnostic of lack …
When seeing stigma creates paternalism
The present research examines the conditions under which educating non-stigmatized individuals about the experiences of members of stigmatized groups leads to paternalistic or more respectful views of the target. We propose that when these efforts ask members of non-stigmatized groups to focus only on the difficulties experienced by stigmatized targets, they will lead to more paternalistic views of targets because they portray targets as being in…
Why is it so hard to change? The role of self‐integrity threat and affirmation in weight loss
People are frequently dissatisfied with their body weight. Messages alleging that lower weight is esthetically preferable, healthier, and achievable likely trigger chronic self‐integrity threat, the sense that one's personal adequacy is in doubt. We examined whether self‐integrity threat, which creates stress and pressure to restore self‐integrity, contributes to the challenges of weight and behavior change. Weight‐dissatisfied women completed in…
Affirmation prevents long-term weight gain
Stereotype Threat
When members of a stigmatized group find themselves in a situation where negative stereotypes provide a possible framework for interpreting their behavior, the risk of being judged in light of those stereotypes can elicit a disruptive state that undermines performance and aspirations in that domain. This situational predicament, termed stereotype threat, continues to be an intensely debated and researched topic in educational, social, and organiz…
Two brief interventions to mitigate a “chilly climate” transform women’s experience, relationships, and achievement in engineering.
In a randomized-controlled trial, we tested 2 brief interventions designed to mitigate the effects of a “chilly climate” women may experience in engineering, especially in male-dominated fields. Participants were students entering a selective university engineering program. The social-belonging intervention aimed to protect students’ sense of belonging in engineering by providing a nonthreatening narrative with which to interpret instances of adv…
A little acceptance is good for your health
This research examines whether acceptance messages from close others about one's weight predict changes in stressful weight concern and body mass index (BMI) over time. Participants reported weight concern and BMI in three waves of data collection spanning approximately 9 months, and reported the messages they received from parents, friends, and romantic partners concerning their weight in the second wave of data collection. Participants normativ…
Perceived Risk and Quitting Behaviors
Perceived risk plays a significant role in predicting quitting smoking, more so for relatively simple behaviors
Self-affirmation as a deliberate coping strategy
The regulatory function of self-esteem
The authors draw on sociometer theory (e.g., Leary, 2004) and self-verification theory (e.g., Swann, 1997) to propose an expanded model of the regulatory function of self-esteem. The model suggests that people not only possess an acceptance signaling system that indicates whether relational value is high or low but also possess an epistemic signaling system that indicates whether social feedback is consistent or inconsistent with chronic perceive…
Interacting with sexist men triggers social identity threat among female engineers
Social identity threat is the notion that one of a person's many social identities may be at risk of being devalued in a particular context (C. M. Steele, S. J. Spencer, & J. Aronson, 2002). The authors suggest that in domains in which women are already negatively stereotyped, interacting with a sexist man can trigger social identity threat, undermining women's performance. In Study 1, male engineering students who scored highly on a subtle measu…
The perils of double consciousness
The cost of lower self-esteem
The authors draw upon social, personality, and health psychology to propose and test a self-and-social-bonds model of health. The model contends that lower self-esteem predicts health problems and that poor-quality social bonds explain this association. In Study 1, lower self-esteem prospectively predicted reports of health problems 2 months later, and this association was explained by subjective reports of poor social bonds. Study 2 replicated t…
