The aim of this study is to show that, when examining social identification, it both possible and important distinguish between self-categorisation, commitment the group, group self-esteem, as related but separate aspects members' identity. This was demonstrated in an experiment (N=119), which Ingroup Status (high/low), Size (majority/minority), Group Formation (self-selected/assigned membership) were manipulated orthogonally. results confirm that these three identity can be distinguished...
The stereotype content model (SCM) proposes potentially universal principles of societal stereotypes and their relation to social structure. Here, the SCM reveals theoretically grounded, cross‐cultural, cross‐groups similarities one difference across 10 non‐US nations. Seven European (individualist) three East Asian (collectivist) nations ( N =1,028) support hypothesized cross‐cultural similarities: (a) perceived warmth competence reliably differentiate group stereotypes; (b) many out‐groups...
We argue that additional understanding of work motivation can be gained by incorporating current insights concerning self-categorization and social identity processes examining the way in which these influence behavior individuals groups at work. This theoretical perspective focuses on conditions determining different self-definitions allows us to show how individual group interact determine motivation. To illustrate added value this approach, we develop some specific propositions...

Two experiments investigated how in-group identification, manipulated with a bogus pipeline technique affects group members' desire for individual mobility lo another group.In die first experiment (JV = 88), the had low status, and boundaries were either permeable or impermeable.Low identifiers perceived as less homogeneous, committed to their group, more strongly desired higher status than did high identifiers.The structural possibility of afforded by no comparable effect.The second 51)...
In four studies, effects of self-perceived or public-perceived threats to group status distinctiveness on self-stereotyping (defined as similarity prototypical in-group members) were investigated for people with high low identification. The main prediction was that and identifiers will respond differentially when their group's is threatened such reduced but enhanced identifiers. Although the studies different comparison groups kinds threat, results all provided support prediction, this...
Two experiments investigated predictions from social identity theory and relative deprivation regarding membership in low-status groups, using a 3 (legitimacy of low status)×2 (permeability group boundaries)×2 (stability status) between-subjects design. Main dependent variables concerned in-group identification individual collective mobility attempts. Group members considered their status more acceptable when it seemed legitimate. In Experiment 1 (N=184), illegitimate assignment to the Ss'...
Abstract This study (N = 235) examines the responses of male and female participants to information about alleged endorsement either hostile or benevolent sexist beliefs by a sample men women. We predicted that people endorsing statements would be less likely perceived as than those views, examined judgmental process through which fail recognize sexism form prejudice. argue sexists do not match mental prototype perpetrators, because they are seen likeable. Our results confirm evaluated more...
We examined possible explanations for the underrepresentation of women among university faculty, in two different national contexts. In Netherlands, a sample doctoral students (N = 132) revealed no gender differences work commitment or satisfaction. Faculty members same 179), however, perceived female to be less committed their and faculty endorsed these gender-stereotypical perceptions most strongly. A second study, Italy, replicated extended findings. Again, were obtained self-descriptions...
According to social identity theory, striving of group members for enhancement their may be resolved through individual mobility (i.e. by dissociation from one's own in order gain membership a higher status group), or change upgrading the position in-group as whole). Individual only achieved when boundaries are permeable; is feasible unstable. This study investigates how these structural characteristics intergroup situation affect members' preference strategy. In laboratory setting subjects...
This study was designed to gain more insight in the different ways which work and family roles can benefit each other. Both qualitative (N=25) quantitative (N=352) results obtained a financial service organization supported distinction between energy-based, time-based, behavioral, psychological work-family facilitation, addition types of conflict that were identified previous research. As expected, facilitation contributed substantially differentially prediction nonwork outcomes, over above...
