Who Believes Gender Research? How Readers’ Gender Shapes the Evaluation of Gender Research Social Psychology Quarterly (IF 2.163) Pub Date : 2024-03-15 Chloe Grace Hart, Charlotte H. Townsend, Solène Delecourt
Prior research finds that relative to women, men are less receptive to scientific evidence of gender bias against women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, whereas the researcher’s gender does not influence evaluations of gender research. Do these effects hold for research documenting workplace gender inequalities more generally? In a preregistered survey experiment fielded on Prolific

Meaning Change in U.S. Occupational Identities during the COVID-19 Pandemic: Was It Temporary or Durable? Social Psychology Quarterly (IF 2.163) Pub Date : 2024-02-15 Joseph M. Quinn, Robert E. Freeland, E. K. Maloney, Kimberly B. Rogers, Lynn Smith-Lovin
The COVID-19 pandemic altered social and economic life in the United States, displacing many people from their typical relationship to the institution of work. Our research uses affect control theory’s measurement structure to examine how cultural meanings for occupational identities shifted during the pandemic on the dimensions of evaluation (good-bad), potency (powerful-powerless), and activity (lively-inactive)

Discrimination in Sentencing: Showing Remorse and the Intersection of Race and Gender Social Psychology Quarterly (IF 2.163) Pub Date : 2024-01-13 Jun Zhao, Christabel L. Rogalin
Using an intersectional lens, we investigate how an offender’s race and gender influence perceptions of and reactions to displays of remorse in jurors’ decision-making processes. Drawing on an experiment of a mock criminal trial (N = 1,155), we find that despite perceiving remorse equally across Black and White women and men, respondents rewarded all but Black men for displaying remorse, assigning

Reducing Islamophobia through Conversation: A Randomized Control Trial Social Psychology Quarterly (IF 2.163) Pub Date : 2024-01-11 Kathryn Benier, Nicholas Faulkner, Isak Ladegaard, Rebecca Wickes
Islamophobia is a global problem that has reached epidemic proportions according to recent government reports and international research. In this preregistered, randomized control study, conducted in a field setting in Australia ( N = 227), we investigated whether Islamophobia—negative and hostile attitudes toward Islam and Muslim people—was reduced by a short door-to-door canvassing intervention.

Refusal and Acceptance in Reciprocal Social Exchange Social Psychology Quarterly (IF 2.163) Pub Date : 2024-01-03 Monica M. Whitham, Scott V. Savage
In this article, we apply a social exchange theoretical approach to the study of rejection. We investigate how the explicit refusal and acceptance of offered resources affect reciprocal exchanges. We distinguish contexts with explicit communication of refusal from contexts in which refusal is uncommunicated or concealed and investigate how context and the actual experience of refusal affect reciprocal

Stereotypes about Muslims in the Netherlands: An Intersectional Approach Social Psychology Quarterly (IF 2.163) Pub Date : 2024-01-03 Samira A. Wiemers, Valentina Di Stasio, Susanne Veit
We relied on a content analysis of freely generated stereotypes about Muslims and Muslim-majority immigrant groups from a representative sample of Dutch natives. Building on intersectionality theory and stereotype prototypicality, we hypothesized and found that ethnic-group stereotypes more accurately reflect stereotypes of ethnic-minority men compared with ethnic-minority women and that stereotypes

We also test whether mastery and self-esteem moderate the association between vicarious discrimination

Help-Seeking Tendencies and Subjective Well-Being: A Cross-Cultural Comparison of the United States and Japan Social Psychology Quarterly (IF 2.163) Pub Date : 2022-04-04 Verity Y. Q. Lua, Nadyanna M. Majeed, Andree Hartanto, Angela K.-y. Leung
Help-seeking is commonly conceived as an instrumental behavior that improves people’s subjective well-being. However, most findings supporting a positive association between help-seeking and subjective well-being are observed in independence-preferring countries. Drawing from research demonstrating that the pathways to subjective well-being are culturally divergent, we posit that help-seeking tendencies

Vocal Accommodation and Perceptions of Speakers’ Prestige and Dominance Social Psychology Quarterly (IF 2.163) Pub Date : 2022-03-20 Joseph Dippong, Will Kalkhoff, Cayce Jamil
Research on the causes and consequences of vocal accommodation is accumulating rapidly in social psychology, but important puzzles remain. Recent work has shown that patterns of vocal accommodation among actors engaged in competitive interactions (e.g., debates) are related to audience perceptions of their relative dominance but not prestige. This makes intuitive sense, but it remains unclear how audience

Reductionism: Friend or Foe of an Integrative Social Psychology? Social Psychology Quarterly (IF 2.163) Pub Date : 2022-03-11 Neil J. MacKinnon
I begin my address by identifying three vertical directions of reductionism (upward, horizontal, and downward) with ontological (descriptive) and epistemological (explanatory) forms. Following a brief discussion of horizontal reductionism, I deal with upward reductionism in terms of postmodernist thought and its influence on social scientists. In my discussion of downward reductionism, I reject ontological

Multiple Identities and Sources of Reflected Appraisals in Identity Theory Social Psychology Quarterly (IF 2.163) Pub Date : 2022-03-01 Mary Gallagher, Kristen Marcussen, Richard T. Serpe
Identity theory assumes that individuals seek identity verification in the form of consistency between the meanings implied by perceived feedback from others (reflected appraisals) and their own self-meanings (identity standards) during social interaction. When there is a lack of identity verification (discrepancy), individuals experience negative outcomes such as psychological distress. Most adults

Hearing Like a Musician: Integrating Sensory Perception of Self into a Social Theory of Self-Reflexivity Social Psychology Quarterly (IF 2.163) Pub Date : 2022-02-28 Sarah Maslen
In Mead’s philosophy, we develop and present ourselves in anticipation of an audience, taking the role of other to “see” ourselves as we will be seen. But what we see when we take the position of other is not in fact what the other sees of ourselves. It is only the visible side of our experience that the other can grasp, leaving hidden our interior experiences. This article speaks to this conundrum

Despite decreasing intergenerational mobility, strengthening the ties between family background and children’s economic outcomes, Western citizens continue to believe in meritocracy. We study how meritocratic beliefs about success relate to individuals’ social mobility experiences: Is subjective upward mobility associated with meritocratic attributions of success and downward mobility with structuralist

Prominence–Salience Combinations and Self-Esteem: Do Magnitude and Congruity Matter? Social Psychology Quarterly (IF 2.163) Pub Date : 2021-10-20 Kelly L. Markowski, Richard T. Serpe
Identity theory research shows that prominence, or identity importance, positively predicts salience or likely identity enactment. Sometimes the association is strong, indicating close matches in magnitude, whereas other times, it is weak, indicating mismatches in magnitude. We build on this work by exploring prominence–salience combinations, paying attention to how congruity and magnitude relate to

The Divergent Mental Health Effects of Dashed Expectations and Unfulfilled Aspirations: Evidence from American Lawyers’ Careers Social Psychology Quarterly (IF 2.163) Pub Date : 2021-10-01 Ioana Sendroiu, Laura Upenieks, Markus Schafer
Considerable work has shown that optimistic future orientations can be a resource for resilience across individuals’ lives. At the same time, research has shown little downside to “shooting for the stars” and failing. Here, we bring these competing insights to the study of lawyers’ careers, investigating the relationship between mental health and failure in achieving desired career advancement. To

Micro, Meso, and Macro Processes in Identity Change: The 2020 Cooley-Mead Award Address Social Psychology Quarterly (IF 2.163) Pub Date : 2021-09-23 Jan E. Stets
I discuss how social psychologists can think about identity change as a nested phenomenon. Identity change occurs at the micro level, but it is embedded in meso and macro levels of social reality. I use changes in the religious identity in the United States as an example of how we can conceptualize identity change in this way. This approach enables us to broaden the scope of social psychological work

When Does Status Transfer between People? A Crowdsourced Experiment on the Scope of Status by Association Social Psychology Quarterly (IF 2.163) Pub Date : 2021-09-22 Jon Overton
It is well known in social psychology that people are judged by the company they keep, but when and how does that company affect how individuals are evaluated? This article extends expectation states theory to explain associative status. The theory predicts that the status value of former coworkers will “spill over” to positively predict a person’s status position in a new task with new coworkers.

How Social Influence Processes Generate Cohesion in Task Groups Social Psychology Quarterly (IF 2.163) Pub Date : 2021-09-14 Scott V. Savage, David Melamed
We introduce a theoretical argument linking group structure to an individual’s cohesion in collectively oriented task groups. We posit that status, the distribution of opinions, and social categories indirectly shape perceptions of cohesion by making individuals working on an uncertain task more or less susceptible to the opinions of others. Specifically, these factors influence how likely one is to

The Intersection of Sexual and Racial/Ethnic Identity Centrality and Mental Well-Being among Black and Latinx Sexual Minority Adults Social Psychology Quarterly (IF 2.163) Pub Date : 2021-08-12 Zelma Oyarvide Tuthill
Studies document how identity related processes, including identity centrality, shape mental well being. More research, however, is needed that considers how identity centrality impacts well being for people with more than one marginalized identity. Drawing from data from 1,571 black and Latinx sexual minorities included in the Social Justice Sexuality Project, I apply an intercategorical intersectional

The Effect of Cultural Trust on Cooperation in Two Behavioral Experiments Social Psychology Quarterly (IF 2.163) Pub Date : 2021-08-03 Joshua Doyle
Trust is an important factor for cooperation in social dilemmas because of uncertainty and free-riding fears. Many contemporary social problems are characterized by uncertainty because they depend on the cooperation of thousands to resolve. Social trust as a personal belief is necessary but not sufficient for cooperation under these conditions. In contemporary social dilemmas, the trust-cooperation

Words beyond the Partial Deed: Prosocial Framing of a Partial-Trust Act Promotes Reciprocation between Strangers Social Psychology Quarterly (IF 2.163) Pub Date : 2021-07-26 Dejun Tony Kong, Jingjing Yao
Displaying partial trust in exchanges between strangers is a common practice, but it does not effectively promote reciprocation. This is an intriguing phenomenon that warrants investigations regarding social mechanisms that can promote reciprocation without changing the level of trust. We seek to examine, given a partial-trust act, whether framing the motive underlying the act as prosocial (mutually

Believing in the American Dream Sustains Negative Attitudes toward Those in Poverty Social Psychology Quarterly (IF 2.163) Pub Date : 2021-07-03 Crystal L. Hoyt, Jeni L. Burnette, Rachel B. Forsyth, Mitchell Parry, Brenten H. DeShields
A critical lever in the fight against poverty is to improve attitudes toward those living in poverty. Attempting to understand the factors that impact these attitudes, we ask: Does believing that meritocracy exists (descriptive meritocracy) sustain negative attitudes? Using cross-sectional (N = 301) and experimental (N = 439) methods, we found that belief in the United States as a meritocracy is associated

Men and Their Moments: Character-Driven Ethnography and Interaction Analysis in a Park Basketball Rule Dispute Social Psychology Quarterly (IF 2.163) Pub Date : 2021-04-13 Michael F. DeLand
Both conversation-analytic and ethnographic studies of interaction tend to isolate situated conduct from the full biographical context that is meaningful to actors. This article argues that there are good analytic reasons to recover some of that biographical context by incorporating character-driven ethnographic representation within interactionist research. I make this case in reference to a rule

Erving Goffman has argued that the threat of losing one's face is an omnirelevant concern that penetrates all actions in encounters. However, studies have shown that compared with neurotypical individuals, persons diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder can be less preoccupied with how others perceive them and thus possibly less concerned of face in interaction. Drawing on a data set of Finnish quasinatural

Event Likelihood Judgments Revisited Social Psychology Quarterly (IF 2.163) Pub Date : 2021-03-06 Kimberly B. Rogers
Affect control theory shows how cultural meanings for identities and behaviors are used to form impressions of events and guide social action. The theory’s impression formation equations are the engine of its predictions about events and the deflection they generate (i.e., how much they violate, versus conform to, cultural prescriptions). In this research, I examine the relationship between affective
