We show that unemployed people are also rated the lowest when compared to a high-high occupation (firefighters) and a low-low occupation (railroad workers). In Study 2, we replicate these findings with university students (<i>n</i> = 193) and show that unemployed people are also blatantly dehumanised when compared to the same targets. In Study 3, we show that vocational integration workers (<i>n</i> = 123) also rate unemployed people lower than employed people on both dimensions and facets, but not on morality.

The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between specific variables assessing students' connections (social exclusion, perceived social support, and psychological sense of community) and the intention to leave the university and the academic degree. An online questionnaire was completed by 7096 students from a large Italian university. The results showed that experiences of social exclusion were significantly associated with a higher intention to leave the university and the academic degree, while social support and sense of community were associated with a lower intention. The moderation model showed that the relationship between the experiences of exclusion and the intention to leave was no more significant if the respondents experienced a high sense of community. The results have important implications, suggesting that interventions aimed at increasing the students' sense of community could be potentially useful for reducing the students' dropouts due to negative experiences.</p>","PeriodicalId":47850,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Community & Applied Social Psychology","volume":"35 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/casp.70098","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143778414","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 process is especially pronounced among those who strongly identify with transgressor ingroups. In the current research, we argue that third-party visibility (vs. ingroup visibility) is sufficient to induce a similar process. Two preregistered experiments (<i>N</i>_total = 894) focused on the relationships between Dutch citizens and asylum seekers. Study 1 demonstrated that third-party (global) visibility (compared to national visibility) of the Dutch government's alleged mistreatment towards asylum seekers increased Dutch citizens' outgroup solidarity through increased group-based image concerns and image-related emotions. This association was moderated by political orientation, but not Dutch national identification, possibly because the government rather than citizens transgressed. Study 2, which examined mistreatment by Dutch citizens, yielded similar results; yet, both political orientation and Dutch national identification now moderated the associations. Transgression visibility consistently predicted only non-radical solidarity intentions via increased group-based image concerns and image-related emotions among high-identifiers (and right-wingers) but not low-identifiers (and left-wingers). The same pattern was not observed for radical action intentions, pointing to the strategic nature of highly identified transgressor group members.

Through an analysis of 16 area-specific attributes, the research underscores the pivotal role of social factors and landscapes in shaping satisfaction for both residents and tourists. Social interaction was found to be the crucial factor, emphasising the paramount importance of resident interactions in these seemingly isolated rural border areas. Particularly noteworthy is the profound impact of residents' emotional solidarity on tourists' visit satisfaction, a phenomenon intricately linked to the active involvement of the local community in managing tourist attractions. Additionally, for residents, satisfaction with various residential attributes is more likely to affect diverse aspects of life, underscoring the multifaceted influence of residential satisfaction. In contrast, tourists' attributes satisfaction of visited area indirectly affects their life satisfaction through overall visit satisfaction. This integrated approach, encompassing both residents' subjective judgements and tourists' objective evaluations, proves invaluable in declining population areas where tourism plays a pivotal role in regional revitalisation.</p>","PeriodicalId":47850,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Community & Applied Social Psychology","volume":"35 3","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/casp.70092","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143741568","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}

Emotional attachment was measured through indicators of <i>belongingness</i> and <i>feeling safe</i>, while cognitive evaluation was assessed through indicators of <i>satisfaction</i> with housing and satisfaction with the place of residence. The analysis examined the factor structure, internal consistency, and discriminant validity of the measure using multi-group confirmatory factor analysis, comparing immigrants and native-born individuals. Convergent validity was assessed by examining the association between the PA-4 and a well-being scale through latent regression analysis. The PA-4 demonstrated good discriminant validity, as evidenced by a hypothesised difference in PA. The latent mean of the PA-4 was 0.65 (95% CI = 0.57–0.73, <i>p</i> &lt; 001) lower for immigrants compared to natives.

To underpin this examination, the Communities of Practise theoretical framework was used. Multiple interviews were conducted with 16 circle participants and stakeholders, in the form of individual interviews and in focus groups and were analysed using interpretive phenomenological analysis. Three themes emerged from the participants' narratives: (1) Representation roles; (2) Support and nurture roles; and (3) Reintegration roles.

Three pre-registered correlational studies (<i>n</i> = 647) explored whether women's tendency to perceive sexist men as non-typical (‘bad apples’) versus typical of the larger category of men is associated with benefits on intrapersonal and interpersonal levels but with costs on an intergroup level. At the intrapersonal and interpersonal levels, perceiving sexist men as non-typical was associated with a stronger feeling of well-being, more positive perceptions of men, and stronger social connectedness with men. However, at the intergroup level, it was associated with lower intentions to engage in collective action on behalf of women's issues. These findings suggest that perceiving the subgroup of sexist men as non-typical of the larger category of men is a perception that may contribute to maintaining the gender status quo.

Given the impact these actions can have on improving refugees' living circumstances, it is of paramount importance to understand what contributes to advantaged group members' decisions to engage in solidarity initiatives and stay committed over time. In this paper, we focus on recognition—acts of appreciation and acknowledgement for the value of someone's doing—which is a common strategy applied by volunteering organisations to reinforce engagement, but which is neglected in research on engagement in favour of disadvantaged groups. Specifically, we examine two different sources of feelings of recognition (recognition by institutions and recognition by beneficiaries) and how they relate to future engagement (intentions) among those already engaged. We conducted two studies among individuals volunteering for refugee causes in Switzerland and in Germany. The first cross-sectional study examined the importance of feelings of recognition for willingness to stay engaged among people providing private accommodation to refugees in Switzerland (<i>N</i> = 250). The second longitudinal study investigated the importance of feelings of recognition for actual long-term engagement measured at two different time points among individuals engaged for supporting refugees, as well as for other causes (e.g., environment) in Germany (total <i>N</i> = 841). We found that feeling recognised by beneficiaries positively predicted willingness to stay engaged (Study 1), as well as actual long-term engagement (Study 2). However, feeling recognised by institutions only predicted willingness to stay engaged, but not actual engagement with refugee causes. For other forms of engagement, feelings of recognition by institutions played a more important role.

The first interpretative repertoire, “<i>The negotiation of consent and construction of coercion as absence of affirmative consent</i>” highlights that adolescents initially framed consent as clear and explicit, with the absence of these affirmative elements seen as coercion. However, after the introduction of vignettes, the discursive landscape shifted. The interpretative repertoire “<i>The negotiation of responsibility in sexting coercion</i>” highlights how, in coercive scenarios, adolescents often shifted the blame to the vignette victim for not clearly rejecting advances, drawing on gendered socio-historical discursive resources. Despite this, some adolescents resisted this rhetoric and attributed responsibility to the coercive party.
