Radicalized Mainstream
Current debates question whether society’s mainstream is undergoing radicalization, introducing the oxymoron radicalized mainstream . In this theoretical meta-reflection, radicalization is defined as individuals’ increasing deviance from superordinate important, socially accepted norms by increasing conformity with (sub)group norms. Applying this notion to established radicalization theories, comparing social psychological and political science d…
Muslims and Non‐Muslims
Threat increases ethnocentric motivation and can thus trigger hostile intergroup behaviour. However, ingroup norms–whether promoting conflict or positive intergroup relations–should moderate these effects, with positive (vs. conflict) norms reducing, eliminating, or even reversing intergroup hostility following threat. We tested this hypothesis in a series of survey studies and experiments with Muslim and non‐Muslim samples in Germany (total N = …
Transfer between Science and Practice
The purpose of this article is to present approaches that can help reducing the gaps between research and practice in the field of refugee integration. We provide examples of research-practice transfer activities that we hope will be taken up by researchers in different fields and implemented for refugee integration in various countries. We describe examples of bi-directional transfer between social psychological researchers and practitioners wor…
Increased climate change skepticism among farmers? The roles of motivated cognition and social identity processes
Landwehr and colleagues (2023) surveyed climate change perceptions in Bavaria, focusing on the influence of socio-demographic and local environmental factors. They found that farmers exhibited higher climate change skepticism than other societal actor groups. In our attempt to explain these findings, we attribute climate change skepticism among farmers to motivated cognitions and social identity processes. Farmers may be motivated to deny climate…
The we—sum of its parts or something else
How could the idea of continuous identity be compatible with the fact that people live in social spheres (groups) which are subject to constant change? Taking an interdisciplinary approach, this article analyzes what is meant by social and collective identity in ordinary language, psychology, and philosophy. By comparing the ideas of the Social Identity Approach, Social Representations Theory , and Identity Process Theory with Vincent Descombes’ …
