Tobacco dependence and motivation to quit smoking: an identity-based framework (Adicción al tabaco y motivación para dejar de fumar: una perspectiva identitaria) International Journal of Social Psychology Pub Date : 2021-03-10 Jérôme Blondé, Juan-Manuel Falomir-Pichastor
ABSTRACT Literature has extensively shown that tobacco dependence is negatively associated with motivation to quit smoking. In this research, we aimed to account for this negative relationship by adopting an identity-based framework. More specifically, we hypothesized that tobacco dependence constitutes an identity threat that smokers seek to manage by diminishing their motivation to quit. To assess

Saving versus deleting thoughts affects focal and lateral attitude change (Guardar vs. eliminar los pensamientos influye en los cambios actitudinales focales y laterals) International Journal of Social Psychology Pub Date : 2021-03-11 Gerd Bohner, Ronja M. J. Boege, Tina Glaser, Lea Klempel, Roman Linne
ABSTRACT Thought handling may affect the subsequent use of thoughts in evaluative judgements. Thus, a person’s attitudes are more influenced by thoughts about the attitude object when the person has saved (versus deleted) a representation of these thoughts. We examined if thought handling would affect not only focal attitude change but also lateral attitude change. Students (N = 200) listed positive

Are gender stereotypes changing over time? A cross-temporal analysis of perceptions about gender stereotypes in Spain (¿Están cambiando los estereotipos de género con el tiempo? Un análisis transtemporal de las percepciones sobre los estereotipos de género en España) International Journal of Social Psychology Pub Date : 2021-03-11 Esther Lopez-Zafra, Rocio Garcia-Retamero
ABSTRACT The evolution of societal gender roles over time changes perceptions about the characteristics of men and women and how they behave. Previous studies on the dynamics of gender stereotypes have investigated people’s perceptions about men and women at specific time points (i.e., thinking in the past, present and future). However, studies comparing results of present perceptions of men and women

Real people or mere numbers? The influence of kill-save ratios and identifiability on moral judgements (¿Personas reales o meros números? La influencia de la proporción vidas sacrificadas/vidas salvadas y la identificabilidad en los juicios morales) International Journal of Social Psychology Pub Date : 2021-03-24 Rui Costa-Lopes, André Mata, Cristina Mendonça
ABSTRACT In moral dilemmas, decision-making can be based on more utilitarian or deontological reasoning. In two experimental studies, we manipulated the number of people to be sacrificed (1 to save 5 vs. 3 to save 5) and whether personalizing information about them was presented. Results provide the first evidence of how the effects of kill-save ratios and identifiability of the potential victims are

ABSTRACT Sexist language can trigger feelings of ostracism and negatively influence women’s motivation and identification. In this research, we test this hypothesis in two domains (academic: Study 1 [N = 107 Spanish high schoolers]; work: Study 2 [N = 164 Spanish university students]. We examine the underlying process that leads women and men to feel ostracized and less motivated when sexist language

Spillover outcomes of job insecurity: differences among men and women (Consecuencias indirectas de la inseguridad laboral: diferencias entre hombres y mujeres) International Journal of Social Psychology Pub Date : 2021-01-04 Beatriz Sora, Amparo Caballer, José M. Peiró
ABSTRACT A vast literature on job insecurity can be found. However, there are still several significant research gaps. Little attention has been paid to the spillover effect of job insecurity on employees’ family, and the role of gender in relation to job insecurity is unclear. Hence, the purpose of this study was twofold: first, to analyse the potentially detrimental effects of job insecurity on employees’

Political orientation and system justification: the moderating role of national identity in a Spanish sample (Orientación política y justificación del sistema: el rol moderador de la identidad nacional en una muestra española) International Journal of Social Psychology Pub Date : 2020-12-23 Gianluigi Moscato, Luca Caricati, Chiara Bonetti
ABSTRACT Right-wing people usually justify the system more than left-wing people. The social identity approach suggests that system justification may be an ingroup bias at overarching national levels and that differences between leftists and rightists could be linked to differences in party norms in promoting national identification. A cross-sectional design was used in which 192 adults (64.6% men

Protecting ingroup’s humanity: the role of gender and regional belonging (Proteger la humanidad del grupo: el papel del género y de la pertenencia regional) International Journal of Social Psychology Pub Date : 2020-12-22 Ramón Rodríguez-Torres, Armando Rodríguez-Pérez, Naira Delgado, Verónica Betancor, Elena Delgado
ABSTRACT To test the differential effect of gender and regional belonging, we used a method based on the ingroup over-exclusion effect but taking into account both the gender of the participants and the stimuli. Two experiments were conducted to study the role of gender of participants in the categorization of ambiguous faces as humans or animals. According to the over-exclusion hypothesis, individuals

Talking about ‘victims’, ‘survivors’ and ‘battered women’: how labels affect the perception of women who have experienced intimate partner violence (‘Víctimas’, ‘supervivientes’ y ‘mujeres maltratadas’: cómo influyen las etiquetas en la percepción de las mujeres que han sufrido violencia por parte de sus parejas) International Journal of Social Psychology Pub Date : 2020-12-21 Mónica Romero-Sánchez, Marika Skowronski, Gerd Bohner, Jesús L. Megías
ABSTRACT Two studies addressed effects of the labels ‘victim’, ‘battered woman’ and ‘survivor’ on the perception of women who have experienced intimate partner violence (IPV). Spanish undergraduates provided free associations (Study 1; N = 54) and completed semantic differentials (Study 2; N = 142) regarding the labels. Results showed that the term ‘survivor’ evoked more positive associations and ratings

Broadening the social psychological approach to acculturation: cultural, personality and social-network approaches (Ampliación del enfoque socio-psicológico de la aculturación: perspectivas cultural, de la personalidad y de las redes sociales) International Journal of Social Psychology Pub Date : 2020-08-17 Verónica Benet-Martínez, Lydia Repke
ABSTRACT The field of acculturation spans a rich and broad spectrum of relevant topics, types of populations and geographic areas. It has, however, been slow in incorporating theoretical insights beyond the intergroup relations perspective, neglecting contributions from other social psychology areas, such as the socio-cognitive approach, and from disciplines such as cultural and personality psychology

ABSTRACT Incorporating the gender or feminist perspective transversally into scientific knowledge is a need highlighted from different quarters. Despite this, this recommendation has not yet been widely implemented, and the response to the crisis caused by the coronavirus COVID-19 is no exception. This article offers suggestions on how to understand and respond to it from the vantage point of social

What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger: the COVID-19 pandemic transforms anonymous citizens into devoted actors (Lo que no nos mata nos hace más fuertes: la pandemia de COVID-19 transforma a los ciudadanos anónimos en actores devotos) International Journal of Social Psychology Pub Date : 2020-07-10 Ángel Gómez
ABSTRACT COVID-19 is transforming our lives. We could frame this illness by surrendering to disaster or striving to get over it. We suggest that the pandemic is converting ‘some’ citizens into devoted actors, individuals viscerally connected — fused — to a group who share a sacred value. Since devoted actors are willing to make costly self-sacrifices for their peers and convictions, the virus, instead

Respect for community as a moral norm (El respeto a la comunidad como norma moral) ((El respeto a la comunidad como norma moral)) International Journal of Social Psychology Pub Date : 2020-07-10 Armando Rodríguez-Pérez
ABSTRACT Psychology has traditionally distinguished between the moral norms associated with individual rights and the social conventions associated with good manners and respect for others. However, the crisis caused by COVID-19 is generating a displacement in the moral status of these two types of norms by enhancing the importance of community-related norms. The new Moral Foundations Theory helps

COVID-19 and the metaphor of war (COVID-19 y la metáfora de la guerra) International Journal of Social Psychology Pub Date : 2020-07-10 José-Manuel Sabucedo, Mónica Alzate, Domenico Hur
ABSTRACT Metaphors provide easy-to-understand explanations for threatening and unexpected events and can guide behaviour. Some groups have used the metaphor of war in the current pandemic. However, this metaphor is inadvisable because it omits fundamental factors such as mutual care or empathy and causes breakdowns in both social behaviour and the democratic system.

ABSTRACT Self-censorship orientation — that is, the preference to hide truthful information — is determined by multiple individual, group and contextual factors which can either generate negative consequences or subvert information flows. Due to the social relevance that self-censorship can have, this study aims to adapt and provide evidence of validity of the measures provided by the Spanish version
