  • Fraternizing with the enemy

    Open AccessJonah Koetke, Karina Schumann et al.ARTICLEGroup Processes & Intergroup…2024Cited by: 1References: 8

    Extended contact (i.e., knowledge that an ingroup member has a close relationship with an outgroup member) often improves relations between groups. In the current research, we argue that such contact can also undermine relations within groups. Specifically, we propose a “fraternizing with the enemy” effect in which the fraternizer is viewed negatively by other ingroup members. In five preregistered experiments ( N = 2,035), we tested this effect …

  • Secret disclosure and social relationships in groups

    Open AccessG A Travaglino, Joseph M Levine et al.ARTICLEGroup Processes & Intergroup…2023References: 17

    Personal secrets are a ubiquitous fact of group life, but the conditions under which they are revealed have not been explored. In five studies, we assessed secret disclosure in groups governed by four models of human sociality (Communal Sharing, Equality Matching, Authority Ranking, Market Pricing; Fiske). In Studies 1a and 1b, participants indicated their willingness to disclose secrets in hypothetical groups governed by the models. In Studies 2…

  • Deviance Credit

    Open AccessDominic Abrams, G A Travaglino et al.ARTICLEJournal of Social Issues2018Cited by: 7References: 33

    Leaders often deviate from group norms or social conventions, sometimes innovating and sometimes engaging in serious transgressions or illegality. We propose that group members are prone to be more permissive toward both forms of deviance in the case of ingroup leaders compared to other ingroup members or outgroup members and leaders. This granting of “deviance credit” is hypothesized to be underpinned by perceptions of an ingroup leader's protot…

  • Factional conflict in groups

    Open AccessJoseph M Levine, John M LevineARTICLEGroup Processes & Intergroup…2017References: 16

    Disagreement between numerically larger (majority) and smaller (minority) factions in groups is both common and consequential. For these reasons, there is a long tradition of social psychological interest in the causes and consequences of such disagreement. Early work focused on minority members’ movement toward the majority (majority influence) and majority members’ (negative) perceptions and evaluations of those who refused to move. Later work …

  • Membership role and subjective group dynamics

    Open AccessIsabel R Pinto, José M Marques et al.ARTICLEGroup Processes & Intergroup…2016Cited by: 7References: 9

    Two studies examined participants’ evaluations of ingroup or outgroup normative and deviant members and changes in agreement with a prescriptive norm. In Experiment 1 ( N = 51), the normative target was either a full or marginal ingroup or outgroup member, and the deviant was a full member. In Experiment 2 ( N = 113), both targets were full or marginal members, or one was a full member and the other was marginal. As predicted, maximal upgrading o…

  • Norm violators as threats and opportunities

    Open AccessJoseph M Levine, John M Levine et al.ARTICLEGroup Processes & Intergroup…2016Cited by: 10References: 12

    Group researchers have long been interested in how group members respond to deviance, defined as the violation of prescriptive norms about how members should think, feel, or act. Valuable perspectives on reaction to deviance have been offered by scholars in several disciplines, including social psychology, evolutionary psychology, and sociology. Most of the theoretical and empirical work on reaction to deviance assumes that this behavior has nega…

  • Group brainstorming

    Open AccessJoseph M Levine, John M Levine et al.ARTICLEGroup Processes & Intergroup…2015Cited by: 1References: 10

    In a study investigating motivational factors in group brainstorming, we investigated the impact on performance of regulatory fit/nonfit (based on the group’s focus and task strategy). All members of three-person groups were placed in either a promotion focus or a prevention focus and then were all given either an eager strategy or a vigilant strategy for performing a brainstorming task (with an expectancy stop rule). As predicted, groups experie…

  • Improving the Dependability of Research in Personality and Social Psychology

    Open AccessDavid C Funder, Joseph M Levine et al.ARTICLEPersonality and Social Psychology…2014

    In this article, the Society for Personality and Social Psychology (SPSP) Task Force on Publication and Research Practices offers a brief statistical primer and recommendations for improving the dependability of research. Recommendations for research practice include (a) describing and addressing the choice of N (sample size) and consequent issues of statistical power, (b) reporting effect sizes and 95% confidence intervals (CIs), (c) avoiding “q…

  • The effects of alcohol on the emotional displays of Whites in interracial groups

    Catharine E Fairbairn, Michael A Sayette et al.ARTICLEEmotion2013

    Discomfort during interracial interactions is common among Whites in the U.S. and is linked to avoidance of interracial encounters. While the negative consequences of interracial discomfort are well-documented, understanding of its causes is still incomplete. Alcohol consumption has been shown to decrease negative emotions caused by self-presentational concern but increase negative emotions associated with racial prejudice. Using novel behavioral…

  • Group Cognition

    Donal E Carlston, Joseph M Levine et al.BOOKOxford Handbook of Social Cognition2013Cited by: 4References: 11

    This chapter reviews work on group decision making and problem solving. Included are topics both within and outside traditional boundaries of social psychology, such as collective induction, swarm intelligence models, jury decision making, information sharing, collaborative memory, gossip, brainstorming, and team mental models. The literature is discussed in terms of the collective information search and distribution model, which highlights group…

  • Membership status and subjective group dynamics

    Isabel R Pinto, José M Marques et al.ARTICLEJournal of Personality and Social…2010Cited by: 28

    In 3 experiments, participants (Ns = 50, 95, and 75, respectively) judged 2 ingroup or outgroup members who occupied 1 of 3 statuses--new members, full members, or marginal members. In each case, 1 of these members adopted a normative position and another supported a deviant position regarding a relevant issue. Participants upgraded normative ingroup full members and derogated deviant ingroup full members compared with all other members. In addit…

  • Shared Reality

    Open AccessGerald Echterhoff, E Tory Higgins et al.ARTICLEPerspectives on Psychological…2009

    Humans have a fundamental need to experience a shared reality with others. We present a new conceptualization of shared reality based on four conditions. We posit (a) that shared reality involves a (subjectively perceived) commonality of individuals' inner states (not just observable behaviors); (b) that shared reality is about some target referent; (c) that for a shared reality to occur, the commonality of inner states must be appropriately moti…

  • The detection of social exclusion

    Norbert L Kerr, Joseph M Levine et al.ARTICLEGroup Dynamics Theory Research…2008

    This article analyzes how humans detect threats to social inclusion. The authors begin by noting the likely evolutionary roots of (a) the human sensitivity to threats of both interpersonal and group exclusion and (b) the nature of the primitive system that humans developed for detecting such threats. The authors then propose seven generic classes of signals (hurting, avoiding, exploiting, deregulating, disengaging, differentiating, and slandering…

  • Communication and Group Perception

    Open AccessLeslie R M Hausmann, Joseph M Levine et al.ARTICLEGroup Processes & Intergroup…2008Cited by: 8References: 15

    The saying-is-believing (SIB) effect occurs when tailoring a message to suit an audience influences a communicator's subsequent memories and impressions about the communication topic. Previous studies were restricted to one-person audiences and individuals as the communication topic. The present studies explored the SIB effect with multiple-person audiences and groups as the communication topic. In Study 1, the SIB effect occurred with a 1-person…

  • The phenomenology of minority–majority status

    Open AccessJared B Kenworthy, Miles Hewstone et al.ARTICLEEuropean Journal of Social…2008References: 38

    In three experiments, we manipulated participants' perceived numerical status and compared the originality and creativity of arguments generated by members of numerical minorities and majorities. Independent judges, blind to experimental conditions, rated participants' written arguments. In Studies 1 and 2, we found that participants assigned to a numerical minority generated more original arguments when advocating their own position than did num…

  • Intellectual History as History

    Joseph M LevineARTICLEJournal of the History of Ideas2005

    The history of ideas is an interdisciplinary field that began as an offshoot of the history of philosophy and was transformed by notions of perspective and cultural context drawn from the tradition of historical studies. The result is the practice of intellectual history, which has been carried out between the poles of inquiry commonly known as internalist and externalist, corresponding to mental phenomena and collective behavior in cultural surr…

  • Matter of Fact in the English Revolution

    Joseph M LevineARTICLEJournal of the History of Ideas2003Cited by: 1

    In the religious controversies of the English Revolution (1640-60), one problem became particularly urgent. How far were the Scriptures to be accepted as a faithful record of history? Much ink was spilled over the theoretical and practical problems of evidence and testimony and there swiftly developed an increasing self-consciousness and sophistication about the meaning of "matter of fact." This paper describes the response to skeptics and dogmat…

  • Socialization and Trust in Work Groups

    Open AccessRichard L Moreland, Joseph M Levine et al.ARTICLEGroup Processes & Intergroup…2002Cited by: 13References: 18

    Several theoretical analyses of trust in organizations have been offered, but the social context in which that trust operates is often ignored. Our analysis examines trust in work groups, with a focus on changes in such groups over time. Socialization is an important form of temporal change in work groups (Moreland & Levine, 2000). Workers move into and out of these groups over time, so most groups contain people in different membership phases. W…
