In 3 experiments, participants (Ns = 50, 95, and 75, respectively) judged 2 ingroup or outgroup members who occupied 1 of statuses--new members, full marginal members. each case, these adopted a normative position another supported deviant regarding relevant issue. Participants upgraded derogated compared with all other addition, derogation was associated socializing punishing intention toward new respectively. These results are discussed in terms the group socialization model (e.g., Levine...
Engagement with self-help groups is a predictor of positive outcomes for those attempting to control their addictive behaviours. In common other groups, have manage non-normative ('deviant') behaviour ensure the social values group remain preserved, and can fulfil its aims. These processes may protect members from relapse. Drawing on Social Identity Model Cessation Maintenance, current study asked number (n = 44) attendees fellowship (AA/NA/CA) SMART list behaviours they saw as normative...
In this paper, we describe two basic motives for social identification: a drive collective enhancement and epistemic fulfillment (uncertainty reduction). We posit that these are critical understanding one of the fundamental underlying mechanisms identity theory (SIT): positive distinctiveness, which is desire to feel different from better than relevant outgroups. Whereas “positive” was clearly outlined in original intergroup relations, “distinctiveness” became focal point self-categorization...
ABSTRACT Whether the widespread perception of corruption is associated with lower or higher tolerance towards corrupt practices remains an important research question. Considering that, in economic downturns, citizens may become particularly sensitive to corruption, this paper goes further by exploring how relationship between perceived sociotropic and be moderated perceptions crisis. Findings from Study 1 a representative sample Portuguese population ( N = 1020) indicate that for negative...
Abstract Leaders often deviate from group norms or social conventions, sometimes innovating and engaging in serious transgressions illegality. We propose that members are prone to be more permissive toward both forms of deviance the case ingroup leaders compared other outgroup leaders. This granting “deviance credit” is hypothesized underpinned by perceptions an leader's prototypicality (“accrual”) belief occupancy role confers a right supported (“conferral”).

8 March (8M), now known as International Women’s Day, is a day for feminist claims where demonstrations are organized in over 150 countries, with the participation of millions women all around world. These can be viewed collective rituals and thus focus attention on processes that facilitate different psychosocial effects. This work aims to explore mechanisms (i.e., behavioral attentional synchrony, perceived emotional positive transcendent emotions) involved 2020, ritualized actions, their...

In Experiment 1 ( N = 51), the target was either full marginal member, member. 2 113), both targets were members, one member other marginal. As predicted, maximal upgrading downgrading as well endorsement norm, occurred when members. contrast, derogated least deviant’s position endorsed most Evaluations mediated effects their role on
There is considerable controversy concerning the origin of Iberian populations Mediterranean chameleon, Chamaeleo chamaeleon. Current opinion dictates that Spanish result from introductions during 18th and 19th centuries, with subsequent translocations original to other parts Spain. The Portugese population in Algarve believed have been introduced Africa or Spain 1920s. However, Holocene remains chameleons suggest Malaga at least could a much older origin.

Based on subjective group dynamics theory (SGDT; e.g., Marques, Paez, & Abrams, 1998), we examine the effects of a group’s ability to effectively control its deviant members participants’ ingroup identification. In Studies 1 and 2 ( N = 79 173) participants were informed that (vs. outgroup) dealt with occurrences in an effective ineffective) way. As predicted, induced effectiveness generated higher identification, trust ingroup’s social system, more positive emotional climate, whereas...

Concomitantly, nationalist right-wing have been associated with the attribution of a threatening character to immigrant refugee groups. We propose self-uncertainty precedes perceived threat posed by latter groups, which in turn...
The Western hemisphere has witnessed recent increased immigration flows generating social and political debate across Europe. In one view, migration represent an opportunity to construct a diverse cohesion. another are perceived as threat existent national cultures. This view is held by nationalisms right-wing populist forces installed in the majority of EU countries' parliaments, accentuating discrimination against immigrants residents We theorize that European identity predicts positive...

The subjective group dynamics theory posits that individuals derogate ingroup members who deviate from prescriptive moral norms. Research on disengagement suggests deviants may, sometimes, be tolerated. This study's goal was to test whether leniency towards effective is accounted for by mechanisms of disengagement. Portuguese participants (N = 75) judged a (ingroup) or Spanish (outgroup) manager whose deviant conduct either (i.e., had positive consequences) ineffective negative company. As...

Specifically, more members feel motivated to compete with a relevant high-status outgroup, based on belief existing status positions may be reversed, they will defend differentials (i.e., high social dominance orientation; SDO). Using minimal groups (N = 113), we manipulated ingroup (low vs. high) status, primed...

Abstract. Subjective group dynamics theory ( Marques, Páez, & Abrams, 1998 ) proposes that deviant ingroup members who threaten the positive value of members’ social identity are evaluated negatively. In an experiment, we investigated whether evaluate less negatively when normative member’s commitment to is ambiguous. Participants one and or outgroup member. Two conditions were contrasted, in which target showed high versus low group. As predicted, participants targets more positively...
We propose that low-status group members' support for group-based hierarchy and inequality (i.e., social dominance orientation; SDO) may represent an ideological strategy to guarantee the legitimacy of future ingroup status-enhancement. Specifically, we argue that, under unstable structure conditions, SDO serves as justification collective action tendencies aimed at competing a higher status. In such context, should be positively related with actions favor actions) by increasing motivation...
