Motor coordination induces social identity—A novel paradigm for the investigation of the group performance‐identity link British Journal of Social Psychology (IF 6.92) Pub Date : 2024-05-13 Anand Krishna, Felix J. Götz
Joint action theorizing implies that any coordinated behaviour that induces co‐representation with a partner should increase social identification, especially when the associated actions require a high degree of coordination and are experienced as being performed effectively. The current research provides a first test of this new theoretical prediction for complementary (rather than synchronous) joint

Objective/BackgroundFlow, a psychological state of intense engagement in and enjoyment of an activity, can arise during both solitary and socially interactive experiences. In the literature, whereas people high in extraversion have difficulty achieving flow in solitude, those with an autotelic personality—a combination of traits that make people prone to flow—readily experience flow in both solitary

Although there have been numerous studies on the relations between group identification and ethnic prejudice, it is less clear whether their associations reflect stable individual tendencies or rather situational or temporal fluctuations. This longitudinal multilevel study aimed to fill this gap by examining the between‐ and within‐person associations of identification with the national and superordinate

Mothering While Sick: Poor Maternal Health and the Educational Attainment of Young Adults Journal of Health and Social Behavior (IF 5.179) Pub Date : 2024-04-29 Shannon Cavanagh, Athena Owirodu, Lindsay Bing
At a time when educational attainment in young adulthood forecasts long-term trajectories of economic mobility, better health, and stable partnership, there is more pressure on mothers to provide labor and support to advance their children’s interests in the K–12 system. As a result, poor health among mothers when children are growing up may interfere with how far they progress educationally. Applying

Anxious Activists? Examining Immigration Policy Threat, Political Engagement, and Anxiety among College Students with Different Self/Parental Immigration Statuses Journal of Health and Social Behavior (IF 5.179) Pub Date : 2024-04-29 Erin Manalo-Pedro, Laura E. Enriquez, Jennifer R. Nájera, Annie Ro
Restrictive immigration policies harm the mental health of undocumented immigrants and their U.S. citizen family members. As a sociopolitical stressor, threat to family due to immigration policy can heighten anxiety, yet it is unclear whether political engagement helps immigrant-origin students to cope. We used a cross-sectional survey of college students from immigrant families (N = 2,511) to investigate

The Intergenerational Transmission of Health Disadvantage: Can Education Disrupt It? Journal of Health and Social Behavior (IF 5.179) Pub Date : 2024-04-29 Emily Smith-Greenaway, Yingyi Lin, Abigail Weitzman
In low-income countries, intergenerational processes can culminate in the replication of extreme forms of health disadvantage between mothers and adult daughters, including experiencing a young child’s death. The preventable nature of most child deaths raises questions of whether social resources can protect women from enduring this adversity like their mothers. This study examined whether education—widely

ObjectiveSelf‐focused language use has been frequently assumed to reflect narcissism; however, research indicates that the association between first‐person singular pronouns (i.e., “I‐talk”) and grandiose narcissism is negligible.MethodTo extend this literature, we progressively identify vulnerable narcissism and rumination as positive correlates of I‐talk in five studies (valid Ns = 211, 475, 1253

Intersectionality has gained a great deal of academic purchase within the social sciences but there is still a need for further conceptual and methodological innovation and clarity. As such, this study uses paid domestic labour as a case study to apply Billig et al.'s (Ideological dilemmas: A social psychology of everyday thinking, 1988) notion of ideological dilemmas to explore the common sense that

Emerging evidence suggests that social identities are an important determinant of adaptation following traumatic life experiences. In this paper, we analyse accounts of people who experienced child sexual abuse. Using publicly available talk of people who waived their right to anonymity following successful conviction of perpetrators, we conducted a thematic analysis focusing on trauma‐related changes

Strategic thinking in the shadow of self‐enhancement: Benefits and costs British Journal of Social Psychology (IF 6.92) Pub Date : 2024-04-18 David J. Grüning, Joachim I. Krueger
Using a variant of the hide‐and‐seek game, we show in three studies that self‐enhancement can help or hinder strategic thinking. In this guessing game, one player chooses a number while another player tries to guess it. Each player does this either in a random fashion (throwing a mental die) or by active thinking. The structure of the game implies that guessers benefit from thinking about a number

Joining a growing body of research calling for the integration of social analysis and postcolonial theory, recent work in medical sociology has analyzed health, illness, and medicine from a postcolonial lens. In this article, I argue for a postcolonial feminist approach to medical sociology that builds on this extant work while challenging methodological nationalism and cultural essentialism. Based

Adopting a social psychological approach, across three studies (N = 927) in two western immigrant‐receiving societies (UK and Canada), we examined the role of honour in acculturation variables (i.e., immigrants' heritage and mainstream cultural orientation and well‐being), controlling for some of the commonly studied predictors of immigrant adaptation.

Introducing and validating a single‐item measure of identity leadership: The visual identity leadership scale (VILS) British Journal of Social Psychology (IF 6.92) Pub Date : 2024-04-08 Niklas K. Steffens, Srinivasan Tatachari, S. Alexander Haslam, Jérémy E. Wilson‐Lemoine, Mazlan Maskor, Rolf van Dick, Benedikt E. Kratzer, Julia Christensen, Rudolf Kerschreiter
In the present research, we introduce and validate a single‐item measure of identity leadership—the visual identity leadership scale (VILS). The VILS uses Venn diagrams of sets of overlapping circles to denote different degrees of alignment between a leader's characteristics and behaviours and a group's values and goals. Key advantages of the VILS over other existing multi‐item scales are that it provides

Egoistic value is positively associated with pro‐environmental attitude and behaviour when the environmental problems are psychologically close British Journal of Social Psychology (IF 6.92) Pub Date : 2024-04-06 Xiaobin Lou, Liman Man Wai Li, Kenichi Ito
Egoistic value is conceptualized as anti‐environmental in many environmental value theories, yet contradictory evidence exists for its relation with pro‐environmental attitude and behaviour. To provide insights into these inconsistent findings, this research examined the moderating role of the psychological distance of environmental problems on their relationship.

Observing an association between socioeconomic status (SES) and health reliably leads to the question, “What are the pathways involved?” Despite enormous investment in research on the characteristics, behaviors, and traits of people disadvantaged with respect to health inequalities, the issue remains unresolved.

ObjectiveTheories about within‐person (WP) variation are often tested using between‐person (BP) research, despite the well‐established fact that results may not generalize across levels of analysis. One possible explanation is vague theories that do not specify which level of analysis is of interest. We illustrate such a case using the construct of self‐compassion.

Does believing that “effort doesn't pay” in society shape how people view dishonest‐illegal transgressions? Across five studies, we show that when people view societal success as non‐meritocratic—that is, more dependent on luck and circumstances than on hard work—they are more lenient in their moral judgements of dishonest‐illegal transgressions. Perceiving society as non‐meritocratic predicted greater
