Threat has traditionally been conceptualized as a cause or consequence of right-wing ideologies. We argue that the relation is bidirectional and conceptually pairing ideologies with threat might be too simplistic potentially inaccurate. To illustrate more nuanced perspective, we review recent findings present data investigating relations between multiple dimensions ideology. Using path analyses SEM, found greater authoritarianism (RWA) predicted perceiving latent risk, whereas social...
In a 5-year longitudinal study of young community adults, the authors examined subjective temporal perspective (STP) “trajectories” derived from ratings past, present, and anticipated future life satisfaction (LS) collected at two time points. Upward STP trajectories (past < present LS) were normative both Opposing hypotheses literature concerning potential positive versus negative implications upward trajectories. Using latent trajectory modeling, individual differences in relation to...
Studies show that synchronizing movements with others encourages a collective social identity, leading to increased cooperation within group. The current study investigated whether movement synchrony impacts categorization and across intergroup boundaries. Two 3-person groups were brought together under conditions designed emphasize different categorizations of the aggregate: all individuals moved same beat, each minimal group or individual beat.
