However, some men may become allies through benevolent sexist beliefs. While some women recognize this as a suboptimal form of allyship, others may interpret it as authentic. We investigated whether the type of allyship (egalitarian vs. benevolent sexist) influences women’s perceptions of authenticity and whether women’s feminist identification moderates this effect. Women (N = 132) undergraduate students completed a pre-screening survey including a measure of feminist identification. They read about and rated the authenticity of a male ally who exhibited egalitarianism or benevolent sexism in his effort to increase women representation in a male-dominated club. Women perceived the egalitarian ally as highly authentic regardless of their feminist identification. However, higher feminist identification was associated with higher perceived authenticity for the benevolent sexist ally. Results are discussed in terms of how feminist identification can influence women’s perceptions of men who help.","PeriodicalId":419892,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Relations, Intergroup Relations and Identity","volume":"35 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131288512","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Several psychosocial factors can affect how one interprets another's pain. One of the elements that has been little studied is the position of an individual in the social hierarchy, a concept that is nevertheless central to social interactions. The main goal of this study was therefore to see how the hierarchical position of individuals influenced their evaluation of the pain of others. To do so, the perception of the hierarchical position of each participant was experimentally manipulated. Then, they were asked to judge the intensity of pain expressed in video clips of facial expressions of pain. Despite the effectiveness of the manipulation, analyses showed no effect of hierarchical position on reported pain intensity scores. This study is the first behavioral study to examine the relationship between hierarchical position and the assessment of others' pain.","PeriodicalId":419892,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Relations, Intergroup Relations and Identity","volume":"86 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134379201","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Given the strict quarantine mandates, many researchers and health experts have been concerned about the unknown immediate and long-term psychological effects of physical distancing. This article investigates this phenomenon by evaluating the constructs thwarted belongingness, social isolation, and loneliness through the method of conceptual analysis. First, linguistic attention is given to the clarification of conceptual overlap, vagueness, and inconsistencies in construct meaning and application. Second, phenomenological descriptions are used to examine the congruity between psychological constructs and lived experience during the pandemic. Third, the novel inclusion of identity and the significance of space are applied to ascertain the contextual dimensions and mechanisms of quarantine measures and physical distancing. Lastly, this article concludes by discussing the valuable role that philosophy and conceptual analysis have in the field of psychology and COVID-19 research.","PeriodicalId":419892,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Relations, Intergroup Relations and Identity","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132712777","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This replication of Watkins and colleagues (2012) investigates how priming different social support conditions influences preferences for feminized or masculinized faces. In this study, 124 participants were recruited to complete an online survey where they were asked to imagine a time they felt socially isolated (low support condition) or a time they felt emotionally supported (high support condition). Participants were then shown 20 pairs of masculinized and feminized versions of the same face and were asked to rate attractiveness. Overall, feminine female faces and masculine male faces were significantly preferred. We did not replicate the finding that femininity is preferred under conditions of low social support. Future research is needed to make conclusions about how perceived social support influences our perception of faces.","PeriodicalId":419892,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Relations, Intergroup Relations and Identity","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116677927","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The search for the cause(s) of aggression has been long underway with some major findings and innovations. However, there have also been several overlooked topics pertaining to the increased likelihood of violence. The current review aims to examine one of these oversights: the deeper meaning of trait aggression and the role of emotional self-regulation in violence perpetration. The author reviews current literature on the topic and outlines several correlations between violent behaviour and emotional self-regulation, which appear to be consistent across multiple adult populations. The author argues that this strong link provides due cause for future research aimed at empirically examining the relationship between emotional self-regulation and violent behaviour.","PeriodicalId":419892,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Relations, Intergroup Relations and Identity","volume":"65 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125134649","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We examine cultural coexistence abilities and internal cultural reconciliation as predictors of self-esteem in students living with multiple cultural identities. One hundred sixty university students (Mage = 19.23) completed the modified Multicultural Identity Integration (MII) Scale, the Multicultural Identity Integration Scale (MULTIIS), and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale (RSES). The analysis revealed that higher MII scores, which indicate lower cultural compatibility, were associated with lower self-esteem. Moreover, increased MULTIIS integration scores, signifying higher identity integration, were associated with improved self-esteem. However, self-esteem was not predicted by gender or age. These findings support the existence of a relationship between one’s capacity to hold multiple cultural identities and their self-esteem, but do not support previous findings linking gender to self-esteem.","PeriodicalId":419892,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Relations, Intergroup Relations and Identity","volume":"171 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122589347","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It was hypothesized (1) that high levels of national individualism would be positively correlated to happiness at a national level, (2) that other cultural dimensions would be relevant in predicting national happiness, (3) and that the association between happiness and cultural factors would be moderated by GDP per capita. Results indicated that individualism is correlated with higher happiness.

We explored the relationship between these phenomena, particularly whether problematic appearance investment was an explanatory mechanism for body dissatisfaction within a context of self-silencing. Women students (N=116) aged 18-24 completed online surveys. More engagement in all domains of self-silencing was associated with higher body dissatisfaction. Problematic appearance investment mediated three of the four domains (externalized self-perception, care as self- sacrifice, divided self) with the other, silencing the self, directly associated with body dissatisfaction. When young women engaged in more relational self-silencing, they focused on their appearance as more integral to their identity, which predicted higher body dissatisfaction. These findings, based on women without eating disorder diagnoses, demonstrate one specific danger of relational self-silencing for women’s well- being. Encouraging self-affirmation may be a promising strategy to undermine these effects for women who engage in self-silencing.","PeriodicalId":419892,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Interpersonal Relations, Intergroup Relations and Identity","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"123703137","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Eighty-seven autistic adults, 41 of whom were LGBTQ+, responded to a survey that measured stigma centrality and salience, stigma consciousness, experiences of everyday discrimination, and awareness of intersectional stigmatization. Results showed that LGBTQ+ autistic participants expected to be stigmatized and discriminated against more often and saw their autism, gender, and sexuality as more important to their identity than non- LGBTQ+ autistic participants. The frequency of everyday discrimination did not differ between LGBTQ+ and non-LGBTQ+ autistic respondents.

Age was hypothesized to correlate negatively with rationalizations, and females were hypothesized to utilize more rationalizations. Rationalization utilization was hypothesized to increase over time. Differences were found by age, suggesting older Americans were least likely to rationalize. Rationalization utilization increased over time among all ages. An interaction was found between age and wave, wherein the combination of variables predicted a participant’s mean rationalizations.
