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}

In this paper, we present the PASS Method for ecologically valid scaling, illustrating its efficacy via a study on Arab-Maltese relations in Malta (EU). The PASS Method proceeds as follows: (1) A relevant Project (e.g., intercultural integration) is identified; (2) Argumentation on the project, by relevant groups, is analysed; (3) Scaling is pursued via expert ranking of items generated from the groups' arguments on the project, resulting in a self-positioning scale and an other-positioning scale relative to the same project; and (4) A Survey is distributed among the groups, asking participants for their own views (self-positioning) and for their views on what the other group thinks (other-positioning) on the project. We illustrate the PASS method by presenting scales built on the basis of Maltese and Arab arguments on the project of integration. Following item generation and scale validity and reliability tests, comparisons of Maltese and Arab distributions for the respective scales and single items are presented. We conclude by making critical recommendations for intergroup relations research and the application of PASS in community settings.","PeriodicalId":47394,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/ajsp.70001","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143111917","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}

This study explores how choosing a green product influences subsequent pro-environmental product preference. Drawing on the self-perception and moral licensing research, we find that past green product consumption can yield two conflicting mechanisms: environmental self-perception (the green spillover effect) and perceived goal progress (the green licensing effect). Given these two conflicting mechanisms, past pro-environmental product selection subsequently either reinforces or undermines subsequent pro-environmental product purchase preference. This study finds that these effects are contingent on the pre-existing moral identities of individual consumers. Among consumers with high moral identity internalization or low moral identity symbolization, pro-environmental product purchase preference is reinforced, whereas consumers with low moral identity internalization or high moral identity symbolization show less preference for pro-environmental products after prior green consumption. Overall, these findings provide new insight into pro-environmental product consumption and moral identity.","PeriodicalId":47394,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143111923","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}

Post engagement plays a crucial role in effective information dissemination; therefore, environmentalists, government organizations and environmental protection agencies are increasingly focusing on enhancing pro-environmental post engagement on social media. This study applies the heuristic-systematic model to examine the effects of source credibility—a heuristic cue—and content objectivity—a systematic cue—on pro-environmental post engagement. Using 700 short videos from the Chinese TikTok (Douyin) platform, we empirically tested the proposed model. The results show that source credibility positively influences pro-environmental post engagement, whereas content objectivity negatively impacts pro-environmental post engagement, with a more significant effect than source credibility. Furthermore, this study reveals that content objectivity weakens the relationship between source credibility and pro-environmental post engagement. These findings provide empirical support for the attenuation effect in the heuristic-systematic model, demonstrating that when heuristic and systematic cues exert opposing influences on post engagement, systematic processing inhibits heuristic processing.","PeriodicalId":47394,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143111922","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}

Career experiences in the military imprint behaviours and identities that shape subsequent roles and how retired officers transition to the civilian world. The present study explored how military culture and identity influence military-to-civilian transition difficulty among retired army officers. Fourteen semi-structured interviews were conducted and analysed using interpretative phenomenological analysis, resulting in three overarching themes: Transition and Contrasting Cultures, Transition and the Role of Military Imprinting and Relearning—Connecting Disparate Cultures. The themes are divided into subthemes that shed light on how veterans navigate cultural disparities, experience identity and ego conflict tribulation and highlight factors that facilitate bridging the military–civilian cultural gap. The study's findings underscore the pivotal influence of military culture and the identity forged within military organizations on veterans' transition experiences. These insights carry significant implications for veterans and reintegration programs. It further offers possible suggestions to enhance transition interventions by addressing psychological distress related to reculturation and identity transition to facilitate smoother integration.","PeriodicalId":47394,"journal":{"name":"Asian Journal of Social Psychology","volume":"28 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2025-02-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143111921","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}
