In two experiments, we examined how men respond to women who either challenge or legitimize societal gender inequality, and identification moderates these responses. We hypothesized that feel less threatened by (vs. challenge) the hierarchy, evaluate more positively. To investigate expectations, assessed self-reports (Studies 1 2) cardiovascular threat/challenge responses (Study 2). Both studies showed experience negative emotions when presented with a woman legitimized challenged)...
The very early perceptional processes that underlie social categorization can be detected with event-related brain potentials (ERPs). Using this methodology, the present work aims to detect differential attentional processing of ingroup and outgroup members based on gender categories. Specifically, three EEG studies tested how factors enhance identity relevance, namely identification contextual salience representation, moderate neural effects. Study 1 showed both women (Study 1a) men 1b)...
The onset of the COVID-19 pandemic drastically changed circumstances for parents to combine work and care. We examined work-family guilt among working in Netherlands during first year COVID-19-pandemic (2020).

(1) On average, mothers experienced more towards their family energy invested instead (work-family guilt) than fathers. (2) Parents essential...
Pain can be considered as a signal of "bodily error": Errors – discrepancies between actual and optimal/targeted state put organisms at danger activate behavioral defensive systems. If the error relates to body, pain is warning that motivates protective action such avoidance behavior safeguard our body's integrity. Hence, shares functionality errors. On neural level, an important processing component error-related negativity (ERN), negative deflection in electroencephalographic (EEG)...
