  • Which leadership style do more narcissistic subordinates prefer in supervisors

    Open Access•Jennifer Eck, Christiane Schoel et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality•2025•References: 58

    BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Subordinates in Western cultures generally prefer supervisors with a democratic rather than autocratic leadership style. It is unclear, however, whether more narcissistic subordinates share or challenge this prodemocratic default attitude. On the one hand, more narcissistic individuals strive for power and thus may favor a democratic supervisor, who grants them power through participation. On the other hand, similarity a…

  • Do women only apply when they are 100% qualified, whereas men already apply when they are 60% qualified

    Open Access•Mona Salwender, Dagmar Stahlberg•ARTICLE•European Journal of Social…•2024•References: 41

    We tested the popular claim that women only apply for jobs when they are 100% qualified, whereas men apply already with as little as a 60% qualification fit. In Study 1, we presented a job advertisement and a CV with different levels of qualification fit. Participants were asked to imagine that the presented CV was their own and to indicate whether they would apply for the advertised job. No gender difference emerged in participants’ application …

  • The Politics Hurdle

    Open Access•Mona Salwender, Christiane Schoel et al.•ARTICLE•Social Psychological and…•2023

    We propose that an organizational culture where playing politics is important for advancement, compared with an organizational culture where showing competencies is important, elicits stronger lack of fit experiences for women than for men. In a pre-study, playing politics was perceived as dominant, typically male work behaviors, whereas showing competencies was perceived as competent, typically female work behaviors. We then tested in two experi…

  • Modern Notions of Accent-ism

    Open Access•Janin Roessel, Christiane Schoel et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Language and Social…•2020•Cited by: 18•References: 94

    Nonnative-accented speakers face prevalent discrimination. The assumption that people freely express negative sentiments toward nonnative speakers has also guided common research methods. However, recent studies did not consistently find downgrading, so that prejudice against nonnative accents might even be questioned at first sight. The present theoretical article will bridge these contradictory findings in three ways: (a) We illustrate that non…

  • Shedding New Light on the Evaluation of Accented Speakers

    Open Access•Janin Roessel, Christiane Schoel et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Language and Social…•2019•Cited by: 12•References: 75

    The present research unites two emergent trends in the area of language attitudes: (a) research on perceptions of nonnative speakers by nonnative listeners and (b) the search for general, basic mechanisms underlying the evaluation of nonnative accented speakers. In three experiments featuring an employment situation, German participants listened to a presentation given in English by a German speaker with a strong versus native-like accent (in Stu…

  • Can self-compassion improve sleep quality via reduced rumination

    Sebastian Butz, Dagmar Stahlberg•ARTICLE•Self and Identity•2018

    Poor sleep quality is highly prevalent in modern societies and can be associated with a multitude of problems for individuals and organizations, and also for society at large. Thus, there is a demand for efficient treatments. We suggest that short self-compassion interventions will improve sleep quality via reducing ruminative thoughts, a key variable associated with poor sleep quality. We ran three studies to test this hypothesis. In Study 1 (co…

  • What's in an accent? General spontaneous biases against nonnative accents

    Open Access•Janin Roessel, Christiane Schoel et al.•ARTICLE•European Journal of Social…•2018•Cited by: 21•References: 68

    Nonnative accents are prevalent in our globalized world and constitute highly salient cues in social perception. Whereas previous literature has commonly assumed that they cue specific social group stereotypes, we propose that nonnative accents generally trigger spontaneous negatively biased associations (due to a general nonnative accent category and perceptual influences). Accordingly, Study 1 demonstrates negative biases with conceptual IATs, …

  • The Bicultural Phenomenon

    Simon Schindler, Marc-André Reinhard et al.•ARTICLE•Social Psychology•2016•Cited by: 1•References: 38

    Cross-cultural research has indicated that bicultural individuals switch their behavioral patterns according to situational cultural frames. Based on self-categorization theory and evidence that being prototypical for an ingroup can increase ingroup identification, we investigated the idea that when being prototypical for a specific culture, bicultural individuals switch their cultural identification toward the culture for which they are prototyp…

  • Now you see it, now you don't

    Open Access•Isabel Thielmann, Edgar Erdfelder et al.•ARTICLE•European Journal of Social…•2015•Cited by: 1•References: 21

    Parental gender‐stereotyped perceptions of newborns—particularly their physical characteristics—have been discussed as important determinants of sex role socialization from birth on. However, corresponding empirical evidence is inconclusive. We propose that inconsistent findings on gender‐correlated perceptions are due to whether or not actual physical differences between newborn girls and boys are properly (statistically or experimentally) taken…

  • The risk of male success and failure

    Open Access•Marc-André Reinhard, Simon Schindler et al.•ARTICLE•Group Processes & Intergroup…•2013•Cited by: 2•References: 16

    Previous research has demonstrated that failure on a task may at times increase self-esteem, known as the failure-as-an-asset effect. This effect is observed when high-status group members (e.g., referring to management positions: men) show poor performance in a domain that is seen as a low-status domain—one in which the low-status group (e.g., referring to management positions: women) typically outperforms the high-status group. In line with soc…

  • "Attitudes Towards Languages" (AToL) Scale

    Open Access•Christiane Schoel, Janin Roessel et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Language and Social…•2013•Cited by: 17•References: 14

    Language attitudes may be differentiated into attitudes towards speakers and attitudes towards languages. However, to date, no systematic and differentiated instrument exists that measures attitudes towards language. Accordingly, we developed, validated, and applied the Attitudes Towards Languages (AToL) scale in four studies. In Study 1, we selected 15 items for the AToL scale, which represented the three dimensions of value, sound, and structur…

  • Mortality Salience Increases Personal Relevance of the Norm of Reciprocity

    Open Access•Simon Schindler, Marc-André Reinhard et al.•ARTICLE•Psychological Reports•2012

    Research on terror management theory found evidence that people under mortality salience strive to live up to salient cultural norms and values, like egalitarianism, pacifism, or helpfulness. A basic, strongly internalized norm in most human societies is the norm of reciprocity: people should support those who supported them (i.e., positive reciprocity), and people should injure those who injured them (i.e., negative reciprocity), respectively. I…

  • Repetition of Educational Aids Advertising Affects Attitudes

    Open Access•Simon Schindler, Marc-André Reinhard et al.•ARTICLE•Psychological Reports•2011

    In educational AIDS campaigns, initiators often use advertisements to warn about the threat of AIDS. The present Internet study (N = 283) tested the assumption of an inverted U-shaped relationship between the number of educational AIDS advertisements in a magazine and the perceived threat of AIDS among different groups (i.e., homosexual men and heterosexual men and women). This expectation was primarily based on signaling theory, which assumes th…

  • When autocratic leaders become an option—Uncertainty and self-esteem predict implicit leadership preferences

    Christiane Schoel, Matthias Bluemke et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality and Social…•2011•Cited by: 10•References: 31

    We investigated the impact of uncertainty on leadership preferences and propose that the conjunction of self-esteem level and stability is an important moderator in this regard. Self-threatening uncertainty is aversive and activates the motivation to regain control. People with high and stable self-esteem should be confident of achieving this goal by self-determined amelioration of the situation and should therefore show a stronger preference for…

  • Ego-Depletion and Risk Behavior

    Alexander Unger, Dagmar Stahlberg•ARTICLE•Social Psychology•2011•Cited by: 2•References: 36

    Ego-depletion theory postulates the existence of a mental resource that is necessary for self-regulation. If the resource is diminished by a task involving self-control, achievement in subsequent self-control tasks will be impaired. Three experiments examined whether ego-depletion limits people's intentionality regarding risk behavior (i.e., choosing an option that has a certain probability of resulting in an adverse outcome). It is assumed that …

  • Guiding trustful behavior

    Open Access•Rainer Greifeneder, Patrick Müller et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Behavioral Decision…•2010•Cited by: 4•References: 11

    Trust has been identified as a key ingredient to the prosperity of close relationships, organizations, and societies. While research mainly focused on the antecedents and consequences of trust, much less is known about how individuals assess whether there are enough reasons to warrant trustful action. Two experiments explored the how and when of this assessment, suggesting that antecedents may not only be integrated as content information per se …

  • Shaping cooperation behavior

    Open Access•Patrick Müller, Patrick A Müller et al.•ARTICLE•European Journal of Social…•2010•Cited by: 3•References: 38

    The present research investigates the influence on cooperative behavior of accessibility experiences associated with the retrieval of fairness‐relevant information from memory. We argue that the decision whether to cooperate in negotiations depends not only on information about the appropriateness of the negotiation procedure, but also on the experience of how difficult or easy it is to come up with this information. Supporting this hypothesis, i…

  • When failing feels good—Relative prototypicality for a high-status group can counteract ego-threat after individual failure

    Open Access•Marc-André Reinhard, Dagmar Stahlberg et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Experimental Social…•2009•Cited by: 3•References: 40

    n Two studies demonstrate that members of high-status groups (i.e., men and students of business administration) but not members of low-status groups (i.e., women and education students) react with an increase in state self-esteem after an alleged poor performance on a fictitious intelligence test. This Failure-as-an-Asset (FA) effect is only observed when the high-status ingroup (i.e., men) is outperformed by a low-status outgroup (i.e., women).…

  • Failure as an asset for high-status persons – Relative group performance and attributed occupational success

    Open Access•Marc-André Reinhard, Dagmar Stahlberg et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Experimental Social…•2007•Cited by: 5•References: 40

    According to research on social identity theory and on prescriptive norms and stereotypes people are viewed as prototypical of a group to the extent that they possess ingroup characteristics but not outgroup characteristics. Following this assumption, even failure might have positive effects for high-status persons when they underperform in low-status domains. In this case, individual failure may be viewed as indicative of strong prototypicality …

  • Why should I be generous when I have valued and accessible alternatives? Alternative exchange partners and OCB

    Open Access•Stefan Thau, Rebecca J Bennett et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Organizational Behavior•2004•Cited by: 3•References: 21

    An Erratum has been published for this article in Journal of Organizational Behavior 26(7) 2005, 873. Previous research on the relationship between alternative employment opportunities and cooperation has neglected the distinction between evaluations and restrictions. Thus, one cannot analyze the relationship between attractiveness of alternative employment opportunities and organizational citizenship behaviors (OCB) under different levels of per…

  • The influence of gender‐stereotyped perfumes on leadership attribution

    Open Access•Sabine Sczesny, Dagmar Stahlberg•ARTICLE•European Journal of Social…•2002•Cited by: 4•References: 24

    The classification of perfumes as ‘women's’ and ‘men's’ fragrances is based on certain gender stereotypes. In two experiments, female and male participants were asked to assume the role of a manager. In Experiment 1, they read an application for the position of a junior manager written by a male or female job applicant. Application papers were prepared with a typically masculine perfume, a typically feminine perfume or no perfume at all (control …

    This article reports on two experiments waith native speakers of German that were conducted to determine the influence of different types of German generics on the cognitive inclusion of women. The results of these studies show that masculine versus other types of generics influence the retrieval of male and female exemplars from memory. This is the first piece of empirical evidence for this kind of effect with regard to the German language

  • Preferences for and evaluation of self-relevant information depending on the elaboration of the self-schemata involved

    Open Access•Dagmar Stahlberg, Lars-Eric Petersen et al.•ARTICLE•European Journal of Social…•1999•References: 29

    Previous findings have shown that some reactions (e.g. satisfaction with feedback) are guided by self-enhancement theory, whereas other reactions (e.g. perceived feedback accuracy) have been shown to follow predictions of self-consistency theory. The Integrative Self-Schema Model (ISSM) assumes that these effects should be moderated by the elaboration of the self-schema involved: This assumption was tested in an experimental study: 72 participant…

    Previous research examined the predictions of the self-enhancement theory and the self-consistency theory regarding reactions to self-relevant feedback. In the present study two circumstances that are supposed to moderate self-enhancement and self-consistency motives have been examined: the elaboration of a self-conception and the discrepancy between the actual self and a personal standard. One hundred and fourteen participants received either po…

    The linguistic intergroup bias describes the tendency to communicate positive in-group and negative out-group behaviors more abstractly than negative in-group and positive out-group behaviors. This article investigated whether this bias is driven by differential expectancies or by in-group protective motives. In Experiment 1, northern and southern Italian participants (N = 151) described positive and negative behaviors of northern or southern pro…

    Christiane Schoel, Matthias Bluemke et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Personality and Social…•2011•Cited by: 10•References: 31

    We investigated the impact of uncertainty on leadership preferences and propose that the conjunction of self-esteem level and stability is an important moderator in this regard. Self-threatening uncertainty is aversive and activates the motivation to regain control. People with high and stable self-esteem should be confident of achieving this goal by self-determined amelioration of the situation and should therefore show a stronger preference for…

  • Ego-Depletion and Risk Behavior

    Alexander Unger, Dagmar Stahlberg•ARTICLE•Social Psychology•2011•Cited by: 2•References: 36

    Ego-depletion theory postulates the existence of a mental resource that is necessary for self-regulation. If the resource is diminished by a task involving self-control, achievement in subsequent self-control tasks will be impaired. Three experiments examined whether ego-depletion limits people's intentionality regarding risk behavior (i.e., choosing an option that has a certain probability of resulting in an adverse outcome). It is assumed that …

  • Mortality Salience Increases Personal Relevance of the Norm of Reciprocity

    Open Access•Simon Schindler, Marc-André Reinhard et al.•ARTICLE•Psychological Reports•2012

    Research on terror management theory found evidence that people under mortality salience strive to live up to salient cultural norms and values, like egalitarianism, pacifism, or helpfulness. A basic, strongly internalized norm in most human societies is the norm of reciprocity: people should support those who supported them (i.e., positive reciprocity), and people should injure those who injured them (i.e., negative reciprocity), respectively. I…

  • The risk of male success and failure

    Open Access•Marc-André Reinhard, Simon Schindler et al.•ARTICLE•Group Processes & Intergroup…•2013•Cited by: 2•References: 16

    Previous research has demonstrated that failure on a task may at times increase self-esteem, known as the failure-as-an-asset effect. This effect is observed when high-status group members (e.g., referring to management positions: men) show poor performance in a domain that is seen as a low-status domain—one in which the low-status group (e.g., referring to management positions: women) typically outperforms the high-status group. In line with soc…

  • "Attitudes Towards Languages" (AToL) Scale

    Open Access•Christiane Schoel, Janin Roessel et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Language and Social…•2013•Cited by: 17•References: 14

    Language attitudes may be differentiated into attitudes towards speakers and attitudes towards languages. However, to date, no systematic and differentiated instrument exists that measures attitudes towards language. Accordingly, we developed, validated, and applied the Attitudes Towards Languages (AToL) scale in four studies. In Study 1, we selected 15 items for the AToL scale, which represented the three dimensions of value, sound, and structur…

  • Now you see it, now you don't

    Open Access•Isabel Thielmann, Edgar Erdfelder et al.•ARTICLE•European Journal of Social…•2015•Cited by: 1•References: 21

    Parental gender‐stereotyped perceptions of newborns—particularly their physical characteristics—have been discussed as important determinants of sex role socialization from birth on. However, corresponding empirical evidence is inconclusive. We propose that inconsistent findings on gender‐correlated perceptions are due to whether or not actual physical differences between newborn girls and boys are properly (statistically or experimentally) taken…

  • The Bicultural Phenomenon

    Simon Schindler, Marc-André Reinhard et al.•ARTICLE•Social Psychology•2016•Cited by: 1•References: 38

    Cross-cultural research has indicated that bicultural individuals switch their behavioral patterns according to situational cultural frames. Based on self-categorization theory and evidence that being prototypical for an ingroup can increase ingroup identification, we investigated the idea that when being prototypical for a specific culture, bicultural individuals switch their cultural identification toward the culture for which they are prototyp…

  • Can self-compassion improve sleep quality via reduced rumination

    Sebastian Butz, Dagmar Stahlberg•ARTICLE•Self and Identity•2018

    Poor sleep quality is highly prevalent in modern societies and can be associated with a multitude of problems for individuals and organizations, and also for society at large. Thus, there is a demand for efficient treatments. We suggest that short self-compassion interventions will improve sleep quality via reducing ruminative thoughts, a key variable associated with poor sleep quality. We ran three studies to test this hypothesis. In Study 1 (co…

  • What's in an accent? General spontaneous biases against nonnative accents

    Open Access•Janin Roessel, Christiane Schoel et al.•ARTICLE•European Journal of Social…•2018•Cited by: 21•References: 68

    Nonnative accents are prevalent in our globalized world and constitute highly salient cues in social perception. Whereas previous literature has commonly assumed that they cue specific social group stereotypes, we propose that nonnative accents generally trigger spontaneous negatively biased associations (due to a general nonnative accent category and perceptual influences). Accordingly, Study 1 demonstrates negative biases with conceptual IATs, …

  • Shedding New Light on the Evaluation of Accented Speakers

    Open Access•Janin Roessel, Christiane Schoel et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Language and Social…•2019•Cited by: 12•References: 75

    The present research unites two emergent trends in the area of language attitudes: (a) research on perceptions of nonnative speakers by nonnative listeners and (b) the search for general, basic mechanisms underlying the evaluation of nonnative accented speakers. In three experiments featuring an employment situation, German participants listened to a presentation given in English by a German speaker with a strong versus native-like accent (in Stu…

  • Modern Notions of Accent-ism

    Open Access•Janin Roessel, Christiane Schoel et al.•ARTICLE•Journal of Language and Social…•2020•Cited by: 18•References: 94

    Nonnative-accented speakers face prevalent discrimination. The assumption that people freely express negative sentiments toward nonnative speakers has also guided common research methods. However, recent studies did not consistently find downgrading, so that prejudice against nonnative accents might even be questioned at first sight. The present theoretical article will bridge these contradictory findings in three ways: (a) We illustrate that non…
