Even though painful experiences are employed within social rituals across the world, little is known about effects of pain. We examined possibility that can promote cooperation groups.

Participants performed these tasks small found evidence for causal link: Sharing with other people, compared no-pain control treatment, promoted...
Risk taking is typically viewed through a lens of individual deficits (e.g., impulsivity) or normative influence peer pressure).An unexplored possibility that shared group membership, and the trust flows from it, may play role in reducing risk perceptions promoting risky behavior.We propose test Social Identity Model Taking eight studies (total N = 4,708) employ multiple methods including minimal paradigms, correlational, longitudinal, experimental designs to investigate effect social...
Previous research has focused on how social identification influences people's adherence to group norms, but rarely considered norm might in turn influence strongly people identify with the group. We proposed a reciprocal relationship between and that is shaped by salience of identity question. Drawing data from longitudinal field study young attending mass gathering (N = 661, 1239 unique observations), we used cross-lagged panel modelling across five timepoints test friends anticipated...
Research suggests that belonging to multiple groups and trust separately mitigate psychological distress in response adversity. However, their combined influence, particularly over time, the context of unwanted sexual experiences during mass gatherings has not been fully explored. To advance our understanding, we investigated whether group membership prior a youth gathering was associated with lower distress, if friends at (i.e., ingroup trust) explained this relationship among young people...
Youth mass gathering events attract thousands of travellers and produce high-exposure conditions for respiratory pathogens other communicable diseases. Adolescents young adults have high social circulation show higher infection rates viral threats like SARS-CoV2 than age groups. How people self-manage their elevated disease risk in travel settings such as is under-researched. This study examined vaccination rates, attitudes, adherence to non-pharmaceutical interventions (e.g., mask-wearing,...
Pain overlap theory has generated decades of controversy and still receives considerable research attention. A major advance been the revelation that social physical pain activate similar neural regions, providing suggestive evidence a “piggybacked” alarm system coevolved to detect exclusion. Recent developments, however, have brought for into question. We analyze these developments from psychological perspective identify need reformulated approach. To meet this need, we provide framework...
Frontline employees in the helping professions often perform their duties against a difficult backdrop, including complex client base and ongoing themes of crisis, suffering, distress. These factors combine to create an environment which workers are vulnerable workplace stress burnout. The present study tested two models understand how frontline homelessness sector deal with suffering clients. First, we examined whether relationships between functioning (job satisfaction burnout) would be...

We did by examining how protesters’ social identification (own group more broadly) predicted perceived threat moral justification violence.MethodProtesters completed survey measures identification, appraisals police,...
Mass gatherings are a public health challenge because of crowdedness and associated risks. ‘Schoolies’ is the largest youth leisure mass gathering in Australia. We examine coordinated service response called ‘Safer Schoolies’, which aims to manage risks optimise wellbeing for Schoolies attendees surrounding community. Schoolies’ context from social identity theory-informed perspective; describe response; demonstrate practical model data collection, measurement baselining; report trends...
