Essentialist beliefs about social categories
Tập 39 Số 1 - Trang 113-127 - 2000
This study examines beliefs about the ontological status of social categories,
asking whether their members are understood to share fixed, inhering essences or
natures. Forty social categories were rated on nine elements of essentialism.
These elements formed two independent dimensions, representing the degrees to
which categories are understood as natural kinds and as coherent entities with
inher...
Beyond frequency: Habit as mental construct
Tập 45 Số 3 - Trang 639-656 - 2006
Progress in habit theory can be made by distinguishing habit from frequency of
occurrence, and using independent measures for these constructs. This
proposition was investigated in three studies using a longitudinal,
cross‐sectional and experimental design on eating, mental habits and word
processing, respectively. In Study 1, snacking habit and past snacking frequency
independently predicted late...
Prejudice towards Muslims in The Netherlands: Testing integrated threat theory
Tập 47 Số 4 - Trang 667-685 - 2008
This study uses integrated threat theory to examine Dutch adolescents’ (N
=1,187) prejudice towards Muslim minorities. One out of two participants was
found to have negative feelings towards Muslims. Perceived symbolic and
realistic threat and negative stereotypes were examined as mediators between
antecedent factors (in‐group identification, intergroup contact, and the
endorsement of multicultura...
A social representation is not a quiet thing: Exploring the critical potential of social representations theory
Tập 45 Số 1 - Trang 65-86 - 2006
Following Moscovici (1972), this paper addresses the questions: What is the aim
of research within a social representations perspective? Is it to support or to
criticize the social order? Is it to consolidate or transform it? After a brief
overview of social representations theory, I argue that while the theory appears
to have the conceptual tools to begin this critical task, there are serious
cri...
Are essentialist beliefs associated with prejudice?
Tập 41 Số 1 - Trang 87-100 - 2002
Gordon Allport (1954) proposed that belief in group essences is one aspect of
the prejudiced personality, alongside a rigid, dichotomous and
ambiguity‐intolerant cognitive style. We examined whether essentialist
beliefs—beliefs that a social category has a fixed, inherent, identity‐defining
nature—are indeed associated in this fashion with prejudice towards black
people, women and gay men. Allport...
Social value orientation and cooperation in social dilemmas: A review and conceptual model
Tập 47 Số 3 - Trang 453-480 - 2008
Social psychologists have long recognized that people fundamentally differ with
respect to their social value orientation (SVO), that is, self‐regarding versus
other regarding preferences, and that these differences affect cooperative
behaviour in situations of interdependence. In this paper, we systematically
review the vast number of findings on SVO and cooperation, and synthesize the
state of t...
Manipulating autonomy, competence, and relatedness support in a game‐learning context: New evidence that all three needs matter
Tập 47 Số 2 - Trang 267-283 - 2008
Self‐report correlational data support self‐determination theory's (SDT's)
postulate that there are three basic psychological needs, for autonomy,
competence, and relatedness, which combine additively to predict well‐being and
thriving. However, experimental research in the SDT tradition has focused only
on autonomy support, not relatedness and competence support. To fill this gap,
we employed a 2...
Integrating social value orientation and the consideration of future consequences within the extended norm activation model of proenvironmental behaviour
Tập 40 Số 1 - Trang 133-155 - 2001
This study integrates social value orientation (Messick & McClintock, 1968) and
the consideration of future consequences (CFC; Strathman, Gleicher, Boninger, &
Edwards, 1994) within the extended norm activation model of proenvironmental
behaviour (Stern, Dietz, & Kalof, 1993). A survey of college students (N=161)
revealed some preliminary support for the proposed model, using past and
intended inv...
Habit vs. intention in the prediction of future behaviour: The role of frequency, context stability and mental accessibility of past behaviour
Tập 47 Số 2 - Trang 245-265 - 2008
This research examined the role of habit and intention in the prediction of
future behaviour by analysing that past behaviour frequency moderates the
intention–behaviour relationship to the extent that the context in which the
behaviour was performed is stable. In two correlational studies, it was found
that habit interacted with intention when context stability was taken into
account and not when...
Value priorities and social desirability: Much substance, some style
Tập 36 Số 1 - Trang 3-18 - 1997
Associations of value priorities with socially desirable responding (SD) might
be due to a stylistic bias that distorts self‐reported value ratings or to a
substantive relationship between valued goals and needs. We hypothesize that, as
a stylistic bias, SD would increase (a) the importance people attribute to
values in general and (b) lead people to match own value ratings to those of
importance ...
