The effect of descriptive age norms on the motivation to exercise among older adults
Based on the principles of the Social Identity Approach (SIA), the present experiment aimed to examine the impact of communicating descriptive age norms on older adults’ autonomous motivation to exercise. Under the cover of a marketing study, older adults (n = 120; age = 65–70 years) participated in a newly created exercise activity, ‘Pattern Stepping’. This activity was framed as an activity that was descriptively normative either for older adul…
Does Social Capital Benefit Older Adults’ Health and Well-Being? The Mediating Role of Physical Activity
Objectives: To assess whether social capital benefits older adults' self-rated health and well-being and whether physical activity mediates this relation. Methods: A survey study was conducted among members of a sociocultural organization (age ≥55 years), both cross-sectionally (baseline Time 1; N = 959) and longitudinally (3-year follow-up Time 2; N = 409). Results: Specific indicators of social capital were positively, though modestly, related …
Who takes the lead? Social network analysis as a pioneering tool to investigate shared leadership within sports teams
Accepting immigrants as fellow citizens
Citizenship representations within national populations have mainly been deduced from state policies on migration. Yet, at the individual level, no studies have investigated whether citizenship representations are reliably associated with preferences for specific migration policies (i.e. the underlying assumption for deducing citizenship representations from state policies). Because several studies have shown that state policies may not reflect u…
Beyond the Ethnic‐Civic Dichotomy
In European Union (EU) countries, public debates about immigrants and citizenship are increasingly framed in cultural terms. Yet, there is no agreement within the citizenship literature on whether a cultural citizenship representation can be distinguished from the more established ethnic and civic representations and on how its measures relate to anti‐immigrant attitudes. The present study tested measures of citizenship representations among high…
Which national group will I identify myself with? The role of preferred and perceived identity representations
Research shows that the more people identify with a national in‐group, the more their citizenship representation becomes in line with the citizenship discourse attached to this national‐identity. However, although national identification may lead to a preference for a specific citizenship representation, national identification might itself depend on preexisting citizenship representation preferences. In line with this, a longitudinal study among…
Heritage culture maintenance precludes host culture adoption and vice versa
A prevalent concern with the integration of Turkish minorities is that large cultural differences hinder integration. Many majority members doubt that Turkish minority members can combine host culture adoption and heritage culture maintenance, although research has shown that most Turkish minority members experience no conflict between these orientations. The present study investigates experimentally whether majority group members perceive Turkis…
Bringing together acculturation theory and intergroup contact theory
The present paper explores Flemish majority members’ expectations concerning the acculturation of Turkish minorities. We studied two kinds of antecedents: majority members’ perceptions of Turkish minorities’ acculturation behavior and their experiences of intergroup contact. The possible mediating role of outgroup affect was also investigated. 247 Flemish high school students completed a survey. Data were analyzed using path analyses. Results sho…
When the best become the rest
This experiment tested the combined impact of premerger status (low, high) and relative representation (low, high) on identification with a merged group and on bias expressed towards members of the merger partner. In phase 1, 111 university students were assigned to a premerger team of “inductive” thinkers. Premerger status was manipulated by informing participants that their team had performed worse or better than a deductionist team on a decisi…
Post‐merger identification as a function of pre‐merger identification, relative representation, and pre‐merger status
This experiment examined the impact of pre‐merger identification (low, high), pre‐merger group status (low, high) and relative representation (low, high) upon identification with a new merger group. In the first phase of the study, 156 university students were assigned to a pre‐merger team of ‘inductive’ thinkers. Pre‐merger identification was manipulated by giving the participants feedback about the extent to which they used the inductionist sty…
Group Status as a Determinant of Organizational Identification After a Takeover
This study investigates the relation between the perceived status of an organization after a takeover (i.e. post-merger status) on employees’ identification with this new organization (i.e. their post-merger identification). Respondents were 234 employees of a corrugated board producing company, which had taken over a smaller company eight months before. As hypothesized, post-merger status was positively related to organizational identification a…
When Integration Does Not Necessarily Imply Integration
This study compared three conceptualizations of acculturation orientations (i.e., contact, adoption, and identification) in two samples of ethnic minority members ( N= 290) in Belgium. In line with the hypotheses, these conceptualizations yielded substantially different distributions of participants across four acculturation orientations (i.e., integration, assimilation, separation, and marginalization): Integration was the most popular orientati…
The Relative Impact of Socio-Structural Characteristics on Behavioral Reactions Against Membership in a Low-Status Group
This experiment examined how structural characteristics of an intergroup relationship influence the behavioral reactions by members of a low-status group. Participants were 542 pupils (aged 11-12 years) who were led to believe that their school class had a low intergroup status. A 2 × 2 × 2 × 2 factorial design was created by manipulating the legitimacy of the low group status, the stability of that status, the permeability of the group boundarie…
The Impact of Election Outcome on the Display of Political Posters
The present field study was designed to test the relationship between the election outcomes of political parties and the post‐election display of posters in favor of those parties. Two days before the Flemish communal elections on 8 October 2000, addresses of private houses in the community of Zele were registered that displayed at least one poster in support of a political party (N = 388). On the day after the elections, two observers checked wh…
Responding to Membership of a Low-Status Group
This study tested predictions based on social identity theory and the five-stage model concerning membership of a disadvantaged group. Participants (187 male teenagers) believed that they belonged to a low-status group and were offered a choice between five behavioral alternatives. These alternatives symbolized acceptance and combinations of individual/collective and normative/nonnormative action. The stability of the intergroup stratification (s…
Intragroup social influence processes in intergroup behavior
Intragroup social influence processes in intergroup behavior
In line with a social-support-for-shared-self-interest interpretation of competitive intergroup behavior Schopler, Insko, Graetz, Drigotas, Smith and Dahl (1993) observed that, in the face of consistent cooperative outgroup behavior, two ingroup members behaved competitively when this strategy had been suggested by another (role-playing) ingroup member. Because a comparable amount of competitive PDG-choosing was observed in a no-suggestion condit…
Reactions upon a failed attempt to enter a high status group
In a replication of Wright, Taylor and Moghaddam (1990a), group openness (open/minimally open/closed) and individual ability (high/low) were manipulated. Participating in their regular class-groups, 114 male teenagers tried to gain access into a high status group. On their subsequent rejection, they indicated their endorsement of five behavioural options, ranging from acceptance to combinations of individual/collective and normative/nonnormative …
The impact of differentially valued overlapping categorizations upon the differentiation between positively, negatively, and neutrally evaluated social groups
The impact of differentially valued overlapping categorizations upon the differentiation between positively, negatively, and neutrally evaluated social groups
The present study attempted to determine whether the impact of overlapping cate-gorizations upon intergroup differentiation should be attributed to cognitive category differentiation processes or whether motivational social identity processes do also inter-vene. Experimentally created groups were placed in one of four overlapping categor-ization conditions: the overlapping category was either absent or it was affectively positive, negative, or ne…
The Different Effects of Simple and Crossed Categorizations
This chapter provides a literature review and a report of a new experiment concerning the effects of crossed categorizations upon intergroup discrimination. On the basis of these data, Turner's (1981) version of social identity theory is critically evaluated.

The effects of dichotomous and crossed social categorizations upon intergroup discrimination
The present study explores the effect of crossing social categorizations upon subsequent intergroup discrimination. In the simple categorization conditions, subjects were divided into groups either on an explicitly random basis or on the basis of a very trivial similarity. In the crossed categorization condition, these two categorizations were criss‐crossed. After performing a perceptual estimation task, subjects had to evaluate the performance o…
