However, uncertainty pervades human social life, raising questions about people's willingness to intervene when the fairness of a situation or the impact of their intervention on others is unclear. Our research investigates how uncertainty, both in outcomes and impacts, influences TPI strategies, including TPP and TPH. We found that outcome uncertainty generally reduces willingness to engage in both TPP and TPH. In contrast, impact uncertainty has a nuanced effect across TPI strategies, diminishing the likelihood of TPP while retaining the inclination towards TPH. Our findings on the effects of uncertainty on TPH extend beyond existing research on uncertainty and prosocial behaviour. This research deepens our understanding of normative decision-making and offers practical insights into managing social behaviours in real-world contexts characterised by uncertainty.","PeriodicalId":47394,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"28 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143717262","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, dynamic studies investigating the interaction between parent–child relationships and psychological capital remain limited. This study adopts a cross-lagged longitudinal design to explore the dynamic relationship between parent–child relationships and psychological capital, with a particular focus on the moderating role of gender. Using a cluster sampling method, a 1-year follow-up survey was conducted with 993 adolescents from four middle schools in Sichuan Province, China. The results revealed the following: (1) Boys demonstrated significantly higher levels of psychological capital compared to girls. Over the 1-year period, psychological capital increased in both boys and girls. However, only boys experienced a significant decline in father-son relationships, while changes in parent–child relationships among girls were not significant. (2) The cross-lagged relationships between parent–child relationships and psychological capital exhibited gender differences. For boys, psychological capital predicted both father-son and mother-son relationships. For girls, a bidirectional predictive relationship was observed between father-daughter relationships and psychological capital. These findings suggest that boys with higher levels of psychological capital are more likely to cultivate strong parent–child relationships, while for girls, positive traits and father-daughter relationships mutually reinforce one another. These insights provide practical implications for mental health education in middle schools.","PeriodicalId":47394,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"28 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143639031","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study used four waves of longitudinal data from the China Family Tracking Study (CFPS) 2012–2018. Totally 707 (48.7% male) samples were finalized for data analysis. The results showed that quadratic latent growth curve modelling (LGCM) is the best fit, which demonstrated an increasing and later decreasing trend. The present study found that subjective social status is positively related to the initial level of future confidence. The higher the subjective social status, the higher the initial level of future confidence, but it does not affect the subsequent trend. Academic performance was also positively correlated with initial future confidence levels, which affected subsequent trends. Specifically, the future confidence of adolescents with better academic performance exhibits a gradual decline, while the future confidence of adolescents with average and poor performance shows an initial increase followed by a decline. The findings provided an empirical basis for improving young people's confidence in the future and evidence for further research.","PeriodicalId":47394,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"28 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143639052","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, while biospheric and altruistic values are evidenced as motivators of pro-environmental attitudes and behaviours, academic understanding of the effects of egoistic values has remained incomplete. The aim of this study is to clarify the effects of egoistic values on pro-environmental consumption behaviours by examining the moderating role of religious beliefs in karmic consequences for future lives (hereafter called afterlife karmic beliefs). Data were collected from 346 urban respondents in Vietnam. Confirmatory factor analysis was employed to assess measurement reliability and validity before established hypotheses were tested using hierarchical multiple regressions. As expected, the testing results supported the positive effects of biospheric and altruistic values on two pro-environmental consumption behaviours, including electricity-saving and green mobility mode choices. Conversely, egoistic values negatively affected the two behaviours, although only the effect on green mobility mode choices is statistically significant. The findings also showed significant moderating effects of afterlife karmic beliefs on the impacts egoistic values have on the two pro-environmental consumption behaviours. Our findings thus expand the current academic understanding of the effects of values on pro-environmental consumption adoption and imply some practical recommendations for practitioners in constructing a pro-environmental consumption culture.","PeriodicalId":47394,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143481415","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on the Transactional Theory of Stress (TTS) and Self-Determination Theory (SDT), we hypothesized that illegitimate tasks, as a common stressor in the workplace, could trigger differential appraisal results in employees, leading to distinct behavioural choices. Additionally, different work motivations moderated employees' appraisal results of illegitimate tasks. Through a two-wave time-lagged investigation with 317 Chinese employees, we found that when employees were assigned illegitimate tasks, they would either generate challenge appraisal, leading to a positive indirect effect on their voice behaviour, or hindrance appraisal, leading to a positive indirect effect on their silence behaviour. Furthermore, autonomous motivation moderated the relationship between illegitimate tasks and challenge appraisal, while controlled motivation demonstrated a substitution relationship with illegitimate tasks in influencing hindrance appraisal. Theoretical and practical implications are discussed.","PeriodicalId":47394,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143481416","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet, research has predominantly linked illegitimate tasks to counterproductive work behaviours (CWBs) while overlooking why and how illegitimate tasks are related to employees' different CWBs. Drawing on the face research and the approach–avoidance framework, this article develops a model that delineates both approach- and avoidance-oriented responses to illegitimate tasks. Specifically, we posit that the two dimensions of face consciousness—desire to gain face (approach-oriented face) and fear of losing face (avoidance-oriented face)—differently relate to employees' emotional and CWBs reactions to daily illegitimate tasks. We tested our hypotheses using 855 observations collected from 91 full-time employees across 10 consecutive working days. Results showed that employees higher on desire to gain face are more likely to feel angry and engage in interpersonal deviance (approach-oriented CWBs) because of daily illegitimate tasks than those lower on it. Employees higher on fear of losing face, however, are likely to feel anxious and engage in interaction avoidance (avoidance-oriented CWBs) when confronted with daily illegitimate tasks. Overall, these findings provide a social image and face perspective for understanding employees' various CWBs caused by illegitimate tasks and inspire management practices.","PeriodicalId":47394,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143423830","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

People are inclined to communicate more with others who share political beliefs, particularly when these beliefs are moralised. However, the reasons for seeking moral similarity are not entirely clear. The authors investigated two theoretical explanations that people find others who reinforce their moral values more likeable because interacting with like-minded others (1) maintains their internal cognitive consistency and (2) contributes to creating a shared reality, thereby satisfying epistemic and relational motives. Four online studies revealed a consistent pattern of moral homophily. Participants with stronger moral convictions were more inclined to communicate with others holding similar attitudes. In contrast, moral conviction hardly influenced the avoidance of others who differed in attitudes. As for the motivations underlying moral homophily, our results consistently showed that a composite variable of epistemic trust and relational motivation on a potential communication partner, two major consequences of shared reality creation, plays a vital role. In contrast, cognitive dissonance hardly functioned as a mediator. Finally, meta-analyses across the studies confirmed the robust nature of moral homophily. Implications of moral conviction through moral homophily are discussed from the perspective of shared reality theory.","PeriodicalId":47394,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ajsp.12677","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143380217","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"心理学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
