The Influence of Accessibility on Perceptions of People with Disabilities (French Translation)
This is a French translation of an article that previously appeared in the CJDS. Prejudice and discrimination against people with disabilities can be masked through seemingly benign expressions such as communications of pity and provision of unwanted help. Such forms of paternalism have been theorized to arise in response to social conditions that fail to highlight people’s competencies. Following this logic, the present study assessed how the ac…

Following this logic, the present study assessed how the accessibility of an environment shapes perceptions of competence of, and feelings o…

Effects of Motivation Framing and Content Domain on Intentions to Eat Plant- and Animal-Based Foods
This study examined the effectiveness of persuasive messages intended to encourage people to eat more plant foods and fewer nonhuman animal foods. One hundred twelve participants reported their eating habits and read an article that emphasized health or ethical implications of food choices as well as a brochure that used autonomy promoting or controlling motivational framing to encourage eating plant foods. They then indicated their future eating…
Speciesism Predicts Prejudice Against Low-Status and Hierarchy-Attenuating Human Groups
A growing body of evidence demonstrates that attitudes toward nonhuman animals correlate with attitudes toward disadvantaged human groups. It has been suggested that the connection rests in the ideology of social dominance. Endorsement of social hierarchy and intergroup domination is thought to extend to both human intergroup and human– animal contexts. The present research tested this reasoning by examining the scope and basis of the relation be…
Social Dominance and Legitimizing Myths about Animal Use
The present study tested the hypothesis that the relation between social dominance orientation and the endorsement of legitimizing myths about the human use of nonhuman animals is moderated by the salience of that use. Eighty-two student participants read an article about agriculture that focused on either animal or crop production and then completed measures of legitimizing myths about animal use, speciesism, and social dominance orientation. In…

Optimism as a Mediator of the Relation Between Perceived Parental Authoritativeness and Adjustment Among Adolescents: Finding the Sunny Side of the Street
Authoritative parenting has been associated with positive outcomes for children and adolescents, but less is known about the mechanisms responsible for such effects. Two longitudinal studies examined the hypothesis that the relation between authoritative parenting and adolescents’ adjustment is mediated by adolescents’ level of dispositional optimism. In Study 1, university students’ perceptions that their parents were authoritative predicted hig…
Religion, Meaning, and Prejudice
Links between religion and prejudice have been interpreted to suggest that religion can both reduce and exacerbate prejudice. Here, the analysis of religion as a meaning system illuminates how religion can affect intergroup attitudes. Traditional psychological perspectives on religion and prejudice are summarized, followed by a discussion of religion and prejudice in cross‐cultural and cross‐religious contexts, involving varying target groups. Ne…
The Immigration Dilemma: The Role of Perceived Group Competition, Ethnic Prejudice, and National Identity
In this article, we discuss the role of perceived competition for resources in determining negative attitudes toward immigrants and immigration in North America. We first provide background information on immigration policies and levels of immigration to Canada and the United States. Following an overview of our theoretical perspective, we then describe the research we have conducted in Canada and the United States indicating that perceived zero‐…
Effects of Perceived Economic Competition on People’s Willingness to Help Empower Immigrants
Based on models of intergroup competition and social dominance, we examined the impact of perceived economic competition with immigrants on support for empowering and non-empowering forms of assistance for immigrants. In Study 1, a manipulation of perceived economic competition with immigrants caused attenuated support for empowerment but not for non-empowering forms of help. In Study 2, people higher in social dominance orientation were less wil…
For God and Country: Religion and the Endorsement of National Self-Stereotypes
To assess the relationship between personal religious motivation and spontaneous thoughts about one's nation, Canadian and American undergraduates completed a measure of religious orientation, and both listed and rated the importance of self-generated thoughts about their respective countries. Among Americans, intrinsic orientation predicted greater ascribed importance to the national heritage (e.g., freedom, equal opportunity, tradition, and fam…
Hate the Sin/Love the Sinner, or Love the Hater? Intrinsic Religion and Responses to Partner Abuse
Christopher T. Burris, Lynne M. Jackson, Hate the Sin/Love the Sinner, or Love the Hater? Intrinsic Religion and Responses to Partner Abuse, Journal for the Scientific Study of Religion, Vol. 38, No. 1 (Mar., 1999), pp. 160-174
An Intergroup Perspective on Religion and Prejudice
Based on the reasoning that religious groups evidence intergroup processes that can create prejudice, two studies examined the relation between religiosity and attitudes toward religious and non-religious others. In both studies, among more religious individuals, attitudes toward religious others were very positive and attitudes toward non-religious others were quite negative. These relations emerged on all measures of traditional religiosity use…
Intergroup Competition and Attitudes Toward Immigrants and Immigration: An Instrumental Model of Group Conflict
High levels of worldwide migration paired with increasingly negative attitudes toward immigrants and immigration in host countries indicate that it is crucial to gain an understanding of the bases of these attitudes. This article discusses one determinant of negative attitudes toward immigrants and immigration: perceived competition for resources. We present our instrumental model of group conflict, which suggests that competition for resources, …

Of Scripture and Ascription: The Relation between Religious Fundamentalism and Intergroup Helping
Two studies examined the role of religion and perceived value threat in determining people's approaches to solving problems faced by social groups. Individuals high in religious fundamentalism held the target groups homosexuals and single mothers responsible for an ostensible unemployment problem, and this relation was mediated by the perception that homosexuals and single mothers threatened their values. In contrast, individuals high in religiou…
The Relation of Jungian Psychological Type to Religious Attitudes and Practices
A Religious Beliefs and Practices Survey (RBPS) was designed to investigate the many relations, assumed to be obtained by pastoral counselors and spiritual directors, between religious orientation and Jungian psychological type. The RBPS and the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator were administered to 195 participants. Most differ- ences were found in respect to intuitive (N) and sensing (S) types: N types empha- sized the undefinability of divinity, whe…
Religious Orthodoxy and the Complexity of Thought about Religious and Nonreligious Issues
Two studies examined the relationship between religious orthodoxy and the complexity of thinking about religious and nonreligious issues. In both studies, participants who were high or low in religious orthodoxy wrote a paragraph outlining their thoughts about a religious issue (life after death in Study 1; existence of God in Study 2) and/or a nonreligious issue (capital punishment in Study 1; free trade between Canada and the U.S. in Study 2). …
Artifact in the Hypnosis—Creativity Relationship
Subjects who pretested high or low in hypnotic suggestibility took a creativity test either under hypnosis or in a waking state. All subjects made a global estimate of their general degree of creativity. Greater figural-spatial creativity was exhibited in the hypnosis condition than in the waking condition by both high and low suggestibles. Creativity self-reports were not corroborated by actual creative performance
