Regret
Regret is often viewed as an emotion aimed at regulating future behavior for the better. However, selfishness may undermine this positive function and interfere with behavioral adjustment after experiencing regret. Using self-reports from a sample of adults from the general population ( N = 396; M age = 41.52, SD = 12.11; 46.5% female), it was examined to what extent egocentricity and self-interest were associated with how often people feel regre…
Constructive competition
Winner-take-all tournaments may have the advantage of raising the motivation to do one’s best, but also the disadvantage of jeopardizing cooperation. Such tournaments can be costly in terms of loss of cooperation, and we ask: Are there conditions under which they don’t have these negative effects? Can competition be calibrated to be compatible with subsequent cooperation? There is one theory that deals with this question: the theory of constructi…

Regret, Self-regulatory Abilities, and Well-Being
Emotions, like regret, have been heralded as instruments of self-regulation, by instigating reflection, learning and feedback for betterment and thus increasing well-being. Yet, this view neglects taking the frequency of regret into consideration. Frequently experiencing regret may instead be a sign of repeatedly failing to achieve betterment. Previous work has shown that people who experience regret often have lower life satisfaction. We suggest…
Direct Aggression and the Balance between Status and Affection Goals in Adolescence
Previous studies have shown that status goals motivate direct forms of interpersonal aggression. However, status goals have been studied mostly in isolation from affection goals. It is theorized that the means by which status and affection goals are satisfied change during adolescence, which can affect aggression. This is tested in a pooled sample of (pre)adolescents ( N = 1536; 49% girls; ages 10–15), by examining associations between status goa…
The Influence of Simplification on Explananda
Rational choice sociologists as well as economists rushed in to show that indeed the rational choice approach was better able to handle the explanation of behavior under changing conditions. In political science, a very similar critique of rational choice models with regard to empirical import has recently been voiced by Green and Shapiro. The consequences of framing could be enormous for rational choice theory because it basically says that cert…
Reply to Wojtek Przepiorka
It is always an honor when, after one publishes a study, somebody takes the time and effort to figure out how it could have been done better (Lindenberg et al., 2018; Przepiorka, 2019). It is a public service, and we are grateful for the effort. Although we are and remain quite proud of our studies and their results, there is, as in any study, always room for improvement and it is certainly important to test hypotheses also via other designs. How…
Peer influence in the development of adolescent antisocial behavior
Moral hypocrisy and the hedonic shift
The most investigated form of moral hypocrisy is pragmatic hypocrisy in which people fake moral commitment for their own advantage. Yet there is also a different form of hypocrisy in which people take a moral stance with regard to norms they endorse without thereby also expressing a commitment to act morally. Rather they do it in order to feel good. We call this hedonic moral hypocrisy. In our research, we posit that this kind of hypocrisy comes …
From Individual Rationality to Socially Embedded Self‐Regulation
The emerging trend is that we let go of the idea that humans are naturally endowed with “rationality” (especially in the sense of consistency and utility maximization, as in microeconomic) in favor of an evolutionary view in which the brain evolved together with the affordances and problems offered by living in larger groups. Rather than seeing humans as having evolved to pursue their self‐interest in a utility maximizing way, what is emerging is…

The Third Speed
There are not two, but three speeds of transmission or of transformations of sensory inputs into behavioral outputs: first, genome encoding; second, learning; and third, flexible situational activation of mental constructs, especially overarching goals. Gintis and Helbing focus on the first two, and surely these two are important. However, by completely neglecting the third speed, their theory lacks the most important ingredient that would make a…
Hedonic, Instrumental, and Normative Motives
This study examined to what extent motives for behavior differentiated between popular, accepted, and rejected adolescents. Based on goal-framing theory, three types of motives were distinguished: hedonic (aimed at short-term gratification), instrumental (aimed at improvement of one’s situation), and normative (aimed at acting in accordance with what one thinks one is ought to do) motives, which were based on teachers’ assessments. These motives …
Doing field studies. What is it all about
Field studies provide much ecological validity but are limited with regard to randomization and control. What can be and what is done about it? Because so few psychologists do field experiments, little is known about it. In our reply to Wicherts and Bakker (in press), we show what goes on behind the scene in doing field research, and we discuss the importance of cumulative results by inclusive replications that cover strict replications, but also…
Raymond Boudon, a personal view
Limits of tolerance under pressure
Policy-makers who are confronted with the potential spread of violent extremist ideologies among prison inmates are challenged to design sustainable prison regimes which are suitable to counter prison radicalisation whilst rehabilitating and reintegrating inmates into society. This article outlines a theoretical framework that explains how uncertainty and pressure in the policy-making context heightens the need for structure that induces a shift …
Collaborative Communities Through Coproduction
Many local councils aim to (re)connect citizens to public planning. This article presents the Collaborative Communities through Coproduction (3C) method as a way to establish cooperation between residents and professionals in improving neighborhood livabiliy. The authors describe common challenges to citizen participation and identify the dilemma of sustainable cooperation as an additional challenge for citizen participation efforts that aim to e…
The reversal effect of prohibition signs
In public places one encounters many prohibition signs, as well as traces of the norm-violating behavior these signs are trying to reduce, like graffiti or litter. Based on goal framing theory and previous research, we argue that signs of (dis)respect of others for norms serve as norm-support cues which can weaken or strengthen the influence of norms. This norm-support mechanism implies that (traces of) norm violating behavior by others (i.e. neg…
The Norm-Activating Power of Celebrity
Social Psychology Quarterly retracts the article “The Norm-activating Power of Celebrity: The Dynamics of Success and Influence,” by Siegwart Lindenberg, Janneke F. Joly, and Diederik A. Stapel, which appeared in the March 2011 issue (74(1):98–120; DOI: 10.1177/0190272511398208). This retraction stems from the results of an investigation into the work of Diederik A. Stapel ( https://www.commissielevelt.nl/noort-committee/publications-examined/ ),…
Do physical and relational aggression explain adolescents' friendship selection? The competing roles of network characteristics, gender, and social status
The role of physical and relational aggression in adolescents' friendship selection was examined in a longitudinal sample of 274 Chilean students from 5th and 6th grade followed over 1 year. Longitudinal social network modeling (SIENA) was used to study selection processes for aggression while influence processes were controlled for. Furthermore, the effects of network characteristics (i.e., reciprocity and transitivity), gender, and social statu…
Basking in Reflected Glory and Its Limits
The goal of this study was to examine whether popularity and likability were related to associating with popular peers in adolescence. Participants were 3,312 adolescents (M age=13.60 years) from 172 classrooms in 32 schools. Four types of peer affiliations of the participants with the popular peers in their classrooms were distinguished: “best friends,”“respected,”“wannabes,” and “unrelated.” Two types of benefits of affiliating with high-status…
Friday on My Mind
The relation between partying and antisocial behavior was investigated using a sample of Dutch early adolescents (T2: N=1,076; M age=13.52). Antisocial behavior was divided into rule-breaking and aggressive behavior. Using a goal-framing approach, it was argued that the relation of partying to antisocial behavior depends on the way the need to belong is realized. Girls, in early adolescence often physically more mature than boys, are likely to se…
Generation of Interpersonal Stressful Events
This study developed two specifications of the social skills deficit stress generation hypothesis: the “gender-incongruence” hypothesis to predict peer victimization and the “need for autonomy” hypothesis to predict conflict with authorities. These hypotheses were tested in a prospective large population cohort of 2,064 Dutch young adolescents. Social skills and pubertal timing were measured when the sample was about 11 years old, and stressful l…
All you need is love
Self‐esteem has been proposed to serve as a sociometer, a gauge of one's value as a relationship partner. Based on evolutionary reasoning, we hypothesized that the sociometer is particularly sensitive to “capacity rejection” in the mating domain. Capacity rejection implies that one has low potential to be an acceptable mate now and in the future. In Study 1, participants received no feedback or negative feedback regarding their capacity for being…

Bullying and Victimization in Elementary Schools
Research on bullying and victimization largely rests on univariate analyses and on reports from a single informant. Researchers may thus know too little about the simultaneous effects of various independent and dependent variables, and their research may be biased by shared method variance. The database for this Dutch study was large (N = 1,065) and rich enough to allow multivariate analysis and multi-source information. In addition, the effect o…
Empirical test of bullies' status goals
The literature suggests that status goals are one of the driving motivations behind bullying behavior, yet this conjecture has rarely if ever been examined empirically. This study assessed status goals in three ways, using dyadic network analysis to analyze the relations and goals among 10–11 and 14–15 year olds in 22 school classes ( N boys=225; N girls=277). As a validation bullies were contrasted with victims. Bullies had direct status goals (…
When Are Neighbourhoods Communities? Community in Dutch Neighbourhoods
This study investigates the degree to which community can be found in Dutch neighbourhoods and attempts to explain why there is more community in some neighbourhoods than in others. We apply a perspective on community which assumes that people create communities with the expectation to realize some important well-being goals. Conditions that account for the creation of a local community are specified, i.e. the opportunity, ease, and motivation to…
Normative, Gain and Hedonic Goal Frames Guiding Environmental Behavior
This article discusses new developments about goal‐dependent framing and multiple goal frames (sometimes also called “multiple motives”), which are highly relevant for understanding environmental behavior. We introduce goal‐framing theory, which postulates that goals “frame” the way people process information and act upon it. Three goal frames are distinguished: a hedonic, gain, and normative goal frame. In general, multiple goals are active at a…
Alternatives, Frames, and Relative Prices
One important consequence of the increasing convergence between sociology and econ omics is that sociologists make increasingly more use of rational choice theories for the explanation of social action. This shift opens up the possibility that sociologists make use of what must be considered to be the most powerful regularity in the social sciences: the relative pnce effect, which states that behavior depends directly on relative prices (or relat…
An Assessment of the New Political Economy
The new political economy brings all three elements back together again: choice, institutions, and models. In my estimation, the new political economy, born in the 1950s, is the single most important factor of bringing Adam Smith's program back to social science.' Yet, more than one hundred and fifty years of neglect cannot be erased over night. A lot remains to be done before we have truly moved from a new political economics to a general explan…
Influence and Selection Processes in Weapon Carrying During Adolescence
The role of peers in weapon carrying (guns, knives, and other weapons) inside and outside the school was examined in this study. Data stem from a longitudinal study of a high‐risk sample of male students (7th to 10th grade; N = 167) from predominantly Hispanic low‐socio‐economic‐status schools in the United States. Longitudinal social‐network models were used to test whether similarity in weapon carrying among friends results from peer influence …
Same-gender and cross-gender peer acceptance and peer rejection and their relation to bullying and helping among preadolescents
The relation between bullying and helping and same-gender and cross-gender peer acceptance and peer rejection was examined in a sample of preadolescents aged 11 and 12 years (N=1,065). The authors tested predictions from a gender-homophily approach vs. predictions from a goal-framing approach in which acceptance and rejection are seen as being generated by approach and avoidance goals, respectively. For preadolescents, both approaches predicted a…

Forms and Functions of Aggression in Adolescent Friendship Selection and Influence
Aggressive children are known to have friends. However, less is known about the impact of aggression on friendship development and how this can differ for overt and relational (i.e., the forms) and instrumental and reactive (i.e., the functions) aggression. This longitudinal study utilized the forms and functions perspective on aggression to assess social selection and influence in adolescents' (N = 337, 12–14 years) friendship networks. Instrume…

The Relation Between Popularity and Aggressive, Destructive, and Norm‐Breaking Behaviors
The aim of this study was to examine the relations between popularity and different types of aggressive, destructive, and norm‐breaking behaviors in a large cross‐sectional sample of adolescents ( N =3,312, M age=13.60). We were interested in the extent to which the relations of these behaviors with popularity were moderated by positive features (i.e., athletic abilities, physical attractiveness, and prosociality). From a goal‐framing perspective…
Social Production Functions, Deficits, and Social Revolutions
Two issues are unresolved for a theory of social revolution: (1) Under what circumstances is it likely that different groups in a society become destabilized within a short period of time? (2) Given the potential for free ride and the high risks of participation, how is rebellious action possible? While written within the context of rational choice theory, the article departs from conventional rational choice theories in major ways. In particular…
Same-Gender and Cross-Gender Likeability
This study examined the associations of popularity, substance use, athletic abilities, physical attractiveness, and physical and relational aggression with likeability by same-gender and cross-gender peers among early adolescents ( N = 3,312; M age = 13.60, with 92.7% of the participants in the 12-14 age range). Data collection consisted of peer nominations in 172 classrooms of 34 secondary schools. Taking a goal-framing perspective, it was argue…
Social Rationality, Semi-Modularity and Goal-Framing
Human beings are not general problem solvers. Their mental architecture is modular and the microfoundations for the social sciences have to take that into consideration. Modularity means that there are hardwired and softwired functionally specific subroutines, such as face recognition and habits that make the individual particularly sensitive to a narrow range of information from both inside and outside. Goals are the most important creators of m…
The new lumpiness of work
This article deals with the puzzle of the well-known gap between actual and preferred working hours (i.e. over-employment). We propose a new explanation based on selective attention in decision making and test it with the Time Competition Survey 2003 which includes information of 1114 employees in 30 Dutch organizations. We find very limited support for the hypotheses that over-employment is caused by restrictions imposed by the employer ( tradit…

Towards understanding successful ageing
In this paper it is argued that the problem of formulating a comprehensive theory of successful ageing – and thereby of finding good criteria for success – may be attributed to the lack of a suitable multidisciplinary framework that meets at least three basic theoretical requirements. These requirements are explicated, and some existing theories and approaches of successful ageing are discussed in the light of these requirements. An alternative t…

Post-Fordist Work
There is debate about whether the post-Fordist or high-performance work organization can overcome the disadvantages women encounter in traditional gendered organizations. Some authors argue that substituting a performance logic for control by the clock offers opportunities for combining work and family life in a more natural way. Critics respond that these organizational reforms do not address the nonresponsibility of firms for caring duties at a…
Buffers and risks in temperament and family for early adolescent psychopathology
This study examined the possible risk-buffering and risk-enhancing role of family characteristics on the association between temperament and early adolescent externalizing and internalizing problems, adjusted for familial vulnerability for psychopathology and early childhood problem behavior. Furthermore, it explored whether these effects were specific or conditional for either internalizing or externalizing problems or more generic for psychopat…

The Direction of Ordering and its Relation to Social Phenomena / Die Richtung des Ordnens und ihre Beziehung zu sozialen Phänomenen
Von zentraler Bedeutung für alle hierarchischen sozialen Phänomene sind die Prozesse, durch die Individuen einander ordnen. Der Aufsatz gibt eine Übersicht über die wichtigsten Ergebnisse von Untersuchungen dieser Ordnungsprozesse und wendet sie auf die Erklärung verschiedener sozialer Phänomene an. Zu den wichtigsten Konsequenzen des Ordnens zählen der „Ordnungs-Diskriminations-Effekt“ und der „Circulus vitiosus der Machtlosigkeit“. Der Ordnungs…
The bargain principle
Marginal utility and restraints on gain maximization
The Siegel‐Ofshe two‐component repetitive choice model, while demonstrating great predictive accuracy, is difficult to interpret and is very data‐inefficient. Reasons for these shortcomings are analyzed in detail, and a modified model is suggested. The new model can be more easily interpreted, provides greater data‐efficiency, and furthermore, holds up well when tested with available data. The importance of the new “discrimination” model for soci…
Rational, Repetitive Choice
The best-known model of r ational, repetitive choice in sociology is the Camilleri-Berger Model. The Discrimination Model is a recent competitor to the Camilleri-Berger Model and a thorough comparison is called for. In this paper, the two models are presented and compared in some detail with regard to the way they handle utility and marginal utility; the way they explain (or fail to explain) matching; their cognitive assumptions; their heuristic …

Zur Kritik an Dürkheims Programm für die Soziologie
Durkheims Programm für die Soziologie wird rekonstruiert und einer Kritik unterzogen. Dieses Programm hat drei Ziele: Soziologie als eine Wissenschaft (1) von sozialen Phänomenen (2), die als Wissenschaft autonom ist (3). Es stellt sich heraus, daß diese Ziele (in ihrer weiteren Ausarbeitung) nicht zu vereinigen sind. Hierdurch entstehen Probleme, die Dürkheim zum Teil ad hoc löst und zum Teil nicht sieht. Die schwerwiegendsten Folgen dieser Wide…

Choice-Centred versus Subject-Centred Theories in the Social Sciences
The idea, originating in economics and forcefully brought back by Goldthorpe, that rational choice theory and large-scale data analysis are symbiotic, is very attractive. Rational choice is in dire need of explananda which can be provided by large-scale data analysis, while large-scale data analysis is in dire need of an explanatory device; at the moment, rational choice can provide this better than any alternative approach. However, this idea is…

Conjugal Bereavement and Well-Being of Elderly Men and Women
Considerable variation in the effects of the loss of the spouse have been reported, and there is lack of agreement regarding the effects of gender and bereavement on well-being. The objective of this article is to examine time-differences in the consequences of bereavement for men and women. Cross-sectional data are used on 4642 married or widowed late mid-life and elderly people. Analyses show that bereaved participants score significantly lower…
