Abstract. In many countries, there is a gap in academic performance between native-born students and with certain immigrant backgrounds. Based on ultimate attribution error theory, we examined the stereotypes causal attributions that German student teachers use to account for immigrants’ underperformance. By including both Turkish-origin Italian-origin migrants, assessed whether these judgments are group-specific. A pilot study (N = 70) showed migrants were viewed more negatively than either...
Abstract Men sometimes withdraw support for gender equality movements when their higher status is threatened. Here, we expand the focus of this phenomenon by examining it cross‐culturally, to test if both individual‐ and country‐level variables predict men's collective action intentions equality. We tested a model in which zero‐sum beliefs about reduced via an increase hostile sexism. Because may threaten status, also examined whether path from was stronger countries Multilevel modeling on...
Abstract Occupational gender segregation is a worldwide phenomenon. Research from Western regions such as the United States and Europe shows that observation of occupational can perpetuate stereotypes (social role theory; men are ascribed agentic traits, whereas women communal traits). However, predictions social theory have not been well‐tested in non‐Western nations. In study with 1,918 participants 10 nations systematically differing inequality, we investigated extent to which target...

The only consistent finding was related to self-respect over time even when controlling for...

Abstract Stigmatized individuals often feel threatened by negative stereotypes about their group. Previous research showed that concerns being negatively stereotyped (i.e., social identity threat) have detrimental effects on performance in the domain. Little has focused interpersonal consequences of stereotypes, despite essential role for integration stigmatized groups like immigrants. The current work examines relations threat with sense belonging and approach motivation immigrant...
Social role theory posits that binary gender gaps in agency and communion should be larger less egalitarian countries, reflecting these countries’ more pronounced sex-based power divisions. Conversely, evolutionary self-construal theorists suggest the greater autonomy support flexible self-construction processes present countries. Using data from 62 countries ( N = 28,640), we examine agentic communal self-views as a function of country-level objective equality (the Global Gender Gap Index)...

First, line earlier research on strain parents, especially mothers, found that Norwegian mothers' during significantly...

Despite widespread speculation that conspiracy beliefs foster anti-democratic outcomes, the empirical picture is inconsistent. To clarify this literature, we examine relationships have with commitment to reactionary action and criticism of democracy, focusing on a global issue: immigration. We expected people who believe their government uses immigration diversify population against citizens' wishes (anti-migration beliefs) would be more committed conventional violent oppose immigration,...
We provide a theoretical framework and empirical evidence for how verbally planning an action creates direct perception-action links behavioral automaticity. argue that actions in if (situation)-then (action) format induces sensorimotor simulations (i.e., activity patterns reenacting the event sensory motor brain areas) of anticipated situation intended action. Due to their temporal overlap, these become linked. Whenever previously simulated is encountered, partially reactivated through...

We tested our predictions three experimental studies with high school students. In Studies 1 2, manipulated type of situation (outperformance vs. non-outperformance) assessed suppression emotions. both studies, individuals reported suppressing more outperformance situations than...

Abstract Older employees are not only confronted with subtle negative stereotypes about cognitive decline, but they also tend to internalize these (i.e., agree the idea that intellectual performance declines in old age and feel affected by this decline). Previous research has shown internalizing detrimental effects on work-related outcomes. Little is known how internalized shape older employees’ social emotions motivation. In present research, we argue adults who insecure their belongingness...
